What type(s) of bonding would be expected for brass (a copper–zinc alloy)?

The type of bonding that would be expected for brass (a copper–zinc alloy) would be metallic bonding. It is an type of bonding between atoms that is a result of the attraction force between the valence electrons and the atoms. It involves sharing of the electrons between positive ions wherein the electrons present serve as a binding particle resulting to a definite structure of the substance. The electrons in this substance are able to move freely within the structure. This type of bonding occurs only in metal-metal bonding. Most obvious example would be the alloys such as brass, bronze, steel, pewter, solder and wrought iron.
