The description you've provided, which features a regular arrangement of positively charged spheres labeled "metal ion," suggests the presence of **metallic bonds**. In a metallic bond, metal ions are arranged in a lattice structure, where they are surrounded by a sea of delocalized electrons. This arrangement allows for the properties typical of metals, such as conductivity and malleability.

So, the correct answer is **metallic bonds**.
