Melting temperature is a result of bonding strength, not the cause of it.\\n\\n\"+\r\n\"In metallic bonding, positive metal ions are attracted to a sea of delocalised electrons. The strength of this attraction depends on the charge of the ions and the number of delocalised electrons.\\n\\n\"+\r\n\"Magnesium forms Mg\u00b2\u207a ions and contributes two delocalised electrons per atom, whereas sodium forms Na\u207a ions and contributes only one electron. This results in a stronger electrostatic attraction in magnesium. Additionally, Mg\u00b2\u207a ions have a higher charge density than Na\u207a ions, further strengthening the metallic bonding.\\n\\n\"+\r\n\"Next time, include:\\n\"+\r\n\"\u2022 Ion charge: magnesium forms Mg\u00b2\u207a, sodium forms Na\u207a \u2713\\n\"+\r\n\"\u2022 Delocalised electrons: magnesium provides more electrons to the sea \u2713\\n\"+\r\n\"\u2022 Charge density: smaller, more highly charged ions create stronger attraction \u2713\\n\\n\"+\r\n\"You were close.
