Q

metallic substances

A

A metallic bond is not solely restricted between 2 metallic atoms

Therefore, other metallic atoms can approach these 3 metallic atoms and form a bond with them

a collection of metallic atoms(that are all the same) is called a substance

Q

Ionic substances

A

A ionic bond is not solely restricted between 2 oppositely charged ions

Therefore, other oppositely charged ions can approach these 2 oppositely charged ions and form ionic bonds with them

a collection of ionic bonds(that are all the same) is called an ionic substance

Q

Covalent Bonds:

A

A covalent bond is solely restricted between 2 non metal atoms

other non-metallic atoms can approach these 2 non-metallic atoms but CANNOT form additional covalent bonds with them

a collection of (small) molecules (that are all the same) is called a (simple) molecular substance
