    Can metal plates bond to crocodile clips when electricity is passed through?

    Why doesn't a metal plate bond to the crocodile clips (or whatever) when electricity is passed through the crocodile clips to the metal plate. Shouldn't the electrons passing from the metal plate, to the crocodile clips cause a covalent bond? Quick Diagram
