Describe the bonding in a typical metal.

metallic bonding may be described as the sharing of free electrons among a lattice of positively charged metal ions. the structure of metallic bonds is very different from that of covenant and ionic bonds. in metallic bonds, the valence electrons from the s and p orbitals of the interacting metal atoms delocalize.

explanation:

ca has a crystalline lattice with positive ions (since it is a metal, metals are positively charged) and electrons flow freely in its structure since the ca atoms have a large nuclear radius so the electrons are not tightly held, therefore the electrons can flow freely since they are not being highly attracted by the nucleus. moreover, one of the properties of metals are that they are conductors of electricity, thus proving ca is the element.
