Delocalization of Electrons

Covalent Bonding: This is when pairs of electrons are shared by atoms. In our bee analogy, this would be like two bees agreeing to share a particular flower instead of buzzing around everywhere.

Ionic Bonding: This is when one atom gives up one or more electrons (negative charges) and another accepts them. It's like if one bee gave its pollen (electron) away completely!

Metallic Bonding: This type involves delocalized electrons moving freely throughout a metal lattice structure – similar again to our bees buzzing freely around the garden.
