Answer: Ionic bond

Explanation: Ionic bonding is the transfer of electrons form least electronegative atom to a more electronegative one. Ionic bonds are commonly formed between a metal an electron donor and a non metal an electron acceptor. Since nonmetals have higher ionization energy and electronegativity electrons are transferred to them.
