Answer 1

A bond that occurs between metals and non-metals is called an
`\sf\purple{ionic\: bond}`.

Explanation:-

Ionic bonds usually involves the transfer of electrons from a metal atom to a non-metal atom.

The metals lose electrons and form cations while the non-metals accept the lost electrons and form anions.

Answer 2

Ionic Bond

Step-by-step explanation:

The bond between metals and non-metals is an ionic bond. This is due to the large difference in electronegativity between the non-metal and metal. Metals give up electrons easily, so they will have lower electronegativities. Non-metals can easily gain electrons, so they have high electronegativities. If you look at valence electrons, they will extensively/exclusively surround the non-metal.
