    The document discusses different types of bonding found in substances including metallic bonding only found in metals resulting in a metallic lattice structure that has high melting points and conducts electricity. Ionic bonding occurs between metal and non-metal atoms forming an ionic lattice that has high melting points and conducts when molten or dissolved. Covalent bonding can form either giant covalent structures with high melting points like diamonds or simple molecular structures with weak intermolecular forces and low melting points that do not conduct electricity.
