Answer:

The answer to your question is below.

Step-by-step explanation:

Metallic bonds have the characteristic of being formed by metals and the electrons move freely through the atoms.

Ionic bonds are composed of a metal and a nonmetal in these kinds of bonds metals lose electrons and nonmetals gain them. Also, electronegativity is higher than 1.7.

Covalent bonds are composed of two nonmetals and elements share electrons to be stable. The electronegativity is between 0 and 1.7.
