Answer:
metals, non-metals
Step-by-step explanation:
Ionic bonding results from electron transfer. To form this bond type, metals lose electrons and becomes positive ions. While non-metals gain electrons to become negatively charged.
- Ionic bond forms between a very less electronegative substance and one with with a higher one.
- The two ions formed attracts one another with an electrostatic force.
- This electrostatic force is the ionic bonding that holds the atoms together.
