Generally it is elements that are metals bonding with elements that are nonmetal.

Answer:

Ionic compounds generally form between elements that are metals and elements that are nonmetals. For example, the metal calcium (Ca) and the nonmetal chlorine (Cl) form the ionic compound calcium chloride (CaCl2). In this compound, there are two negative chloride ions for each positive calcium ion.
