In Common table salt aka Sodium Chloride the bonding in each molecule is IONIC this is where the metal loses its electron to the chlorine to become a positive action and the chlorine becomes a negative anion.

The two oppositely charged ions attract and form strong electrostatic attractions called IONIC BONDS

I hope that this helps :)
