Answer:

Electrostatic

Step-by-step explanation:

An ionic bond results from the electrostatic attraction between oppositely charged ion.

Usually, metallic ion is positively charge and the non-metallic ion is negatively charged.

  • The attraction results in the formation of an ionic bond.
  • Ionic bond forms by the transfer of electrons from a metal to a non - metal.
  • The charge separation causes the oppositely charged atoms to be attracted to one another.
