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 form ionic compounds with nonmetals when valence electrons are transferred, creating charged ions that attract each other. This electron transfer is due to the number of valence electrons held by metal and nonmetal atoms.
Detailed explanation-3: -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-4: -Bonds with metals are always ionic and not covalent, because the metals desperatly require electrons of their own to be stable.
