Explanation

Metallic bonds are the force of attraction between positive metal ions and valence electrons that are constantly moving around them.

Metallic bonds occur among metal atoms.

Whereas ionic bonds join metals to non-metals,

metallic bonding joins a bulk of metal atoms.

A sheet of aluminum foil and a copper wire are both places where you can see metallic bonding in action.

Explanation

• Smelting is a metallurgical process used to extract metals from ores.
• The ore is heated to a high temperature.
• A reducing agent is often used to remove oxygen from the metal oxide.
• The metal is separated from the impurities (gangue).
• Example: Iron is extracted from iron ore by smelting in a blast furnace.
