Detailed explanation-1: -An ionic bond is formed between a metal and a non-metal. Non-metals(-ve ion) are “stronger” than the metal(+ve ion) and can get electrons very easily from the metal. These two opposite ions attract each other and form the ionic bond.
Detailed explanation-2: -Ionic bonds are generally between metals and non-metals. For e.g. Salt (NaCl) is an ionic bond that consists of Sodium (Na) which is a metal with positive charge combines with Chlorine (Cl), a nonmetal with a negative charge.
Detailed explanation-3: -An ionic bond is formed when an electron lost by one element is gained by another. In the case of two nonmetals, they both lose electrons so no electron transfer takes place. Thus an ionic bond can not be formed between two non-metals.
Detailed explanation-4: -An ionic bond is formed when a non-metal and a metal form a bond by transferring electrons.
