| Aug 26, 2021 at 5:29 | comment | added | Evamentality | Also, to your original question. Your question in if metals can form compounds between themselves and your follow up asking if they can form ions makes it seem as if you have completely rejected the idea of metals forming covalent bonds between themselves and could only be plausible on the basis of ionic bonding. Think again! Look at this absolute monstrosity containing a quintuple - yes, quintuple - covalent bond between two chromium atoms: [CrC6H3-2,6-(C6H3-2,6-(CHMe2)2)2]2 | |
