The term "matellic bond" does not have a specific definition in chemistry or materials science. It may be a typo or a misspelling of "metallic bond," which is a type of chemical bond that occurs between metal atoms. In a metallic bond, the valence electrons of metal atoms are delocalized, meaning they are not exclusively associated with a specific atom but move freely throughout the entire metal lattice. This delocalization of electrons gives rise to certain properties of metals, such as high electrical and thermal conductivity, malleability, and ductility.
