They bound using ionic bounding, the metal gives away electrons and the non-metal receive, and since electrons are negative in charge the metal becomes positive and the non-metal negative this makes them attract each other, that's what ionic compounds are mostly hard

Answer:
For example, consider the formation of sodium chloride, NaCl. Na + Cl → NaCl The ionic compound NaCl is formed by the reaction between a metal, sodium, and a nonmetal, chlorine. The formation of an ionic compound from a metal and a non-metal is an exothermic reaction
