What kind of bond does gold have?

Answer 1

Gold has metallic bonds.
The electrons of the gold atoms are delocalised to form a sea of electrons. The gold atoms are held together by electrostatic forces of attraction between the negatively charged sea of electrons and the positively charged ions (the nucleus + the electrons that are not delocalised). Gold has high melting and boiling points because a lot of energy is required to overcome this strong electrostatic forces of attraction.

Answer 2

Gold typically forms metallic bonds, where electrons are shared between the atoms in a sea of delocalized electrons. This allows gold to exhibit properties such as ductility and conductivity.

Answer 3

gold has a metallic bond. the type of chemical bond between atoms in a maetallic element, formed by valence electrons. [:

Answer 4

network covalent.
