Explanation:
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: -Metals tend to lose electrons to form cations and non-metals tend to gain electrons to form anions. So metals and non-metals form ionic bond by transferring electrons.
Detailed explanation-3: -Metallic bonds occur among metal atoms. Whereas ionic bonds join metals to non-metals, metallic bonding joins a bulk of metal atoms.
