Clarification:

The Na2 molecules comprise atoms that are connected by a purely covalent bond since both atoms have the same electronegativity.

Metallic bonding only manifests when several atoms cluster together. Such aggregates may not tend to be stable, as larger masses of material typically exhibit greater stability thermodynamically. Therefore, they often merge until a significant metal chunk is formed.

In some ways, metallic bonding can be considered a variant of covalent bonding, but it is more communal—delocalized across numerous atoms—and electron deficient (there are more energy states than available electrons, which contributes to conductive traits). This implies that the term “metallic bond” might appear contradictory, akin to referring to a forest with a single tree.
