One description of the bonding in metals is positive ions in a sea of electrons--which was I think the Somerfield model.
This may be what is being referred to.

What electrons are involved bonding?
Valence Electrons!
Which electrons are involved in bonding'?
At times the electrons involved in bonding are shared equally between the nuclei of two atoms and the bond is called a pure covalent bond. More often, however, the sharing is unequal and the electrons spend more time around the nucleus
What are electrons in the outer shell called?
valence electrons, they are the ones responsible for bonding with other atoms.
Which electrons are important in bonding?
the electrons on the outer part of the shell also known as valence electrons, this isjust crap, imean i didnt even get the right answer you tool....!!
Why can you bend metals?
It is to do with the bonding between atoms in the metal. A mettalic bond occurs in most metal alloys. It is when the electrons from the atoms are free to move around and no longer attached to any individual atoms. The atoms are effectivly in a sea of electrons. This gives them greater movement abilities so the metal can be bent.
Does metallic bonding involve free-floating electrons?
Yes that is how metallic bonding is modeled - a sea of electrons.
What type of chemical bonding is in solid copper?
Metal or atomic bonding: electrons are not shared but pooled together in the "conductivity sea" of electrons
What type of bonding in which sea of electrons surrounds positvely charged ions?
I had the same question; the answer is Metallic Bonding.
What kind of substance contains a sea of electrons?
Metals (such as aluminum) are held together by "metallic bonding" which can often be described as a "sea of electrons"
Can a bond be a covalent and ionic bond?
No. A bond cannot be both covalent and ionic. A bond can be covalent, ionic or metallic. In covalent bonding electrons are shared, electrons are transferred in ionic bonding and electrons move about in a sea of electrons in metallic bonds.
What is responsible for the good electrical conductivity of metals?
The metallic bonding which is basically a "sea" or cloud of electrons.
Which type of bonding involves metal atoms surrounded by a sea of valence electrons?
metallic bonds
Is responsible for the good electrical conductivity of metals?
The metallic bonding which is basically a "sea" or cloud of electrons.
What happen to electrons when atoms bond?
They are shared in-between the atomsTwo atoms can share one or two electrons (covalent bonding), An electron from one atom can be removed and join a separate atom (ionic bonding) or all the outer shell electrons can separate off and form a lattice of positive ins in a sea of negative electrons (metallic bonding)
What is the method of bond formation for metallic bonding?
metallic bonding occures due to the attraction force between the metal ions and the electrons.The outer most shell of a metal atom is free to move and therefore releases it into a SEA of electrons,once having released the electrons the metals become ionised(+) and are attracted to the electrons as they are -charged .This builds up to form a Giant lattice of delocalised electrons.
What best describes the arrangement of electrons in a metallic bond?
A sea of electrons. This is a very good description of the bonding in group 1 group 2 metals. A more advanced view for transition metals calls the sea of electrons an "sp electron gas" alongside covalent bonding involving d electrons. This accounts for the melting point trends in transition metals
How many non-bonding electrons does phosphorus have?
Phosphorous has a total of 15 electrons, and of those, 3 of them are valence shell, or bonding electrons. So, 12 electrons are core electrons, and are non-bonding.
