Answer;

-Ionic bond

Explanation;

  • Ionic bond is a type of bonds that results from transfers of electrons from one atom to another. This types of bond is formed between metals and non metals.
  • Metals lose electrons to form cations (positively charged ion) and non metals gain electrons forming anions, negatively charged ion.
  • For instance; between sodium and chlorine element; sodium donates a single electron to attain a stable configuration while chlorine gains an electron to achieve stable configuration, thus forming an ionic compound sodium chloride.
