Explanation:

Metallic bonding occurs when the chemical bond that is formed is between a metal and a metal. Remember that bonding is purely driven by the electronic properties of the constituents.

Metallic bonds can be characterized by cations fixed in a lattice with extremely delocalized electron density, this is often described as a "sea of electrons".
