Explanation:
Ionic bonds form between metals and non-metals. Metals are the elements on the left side of the Periodic Table. The most metallic elements are Cesium and Francium. Metals tend to lose electrons to attain Noble Gas electron configuration. Groups 1 and 2 (the active metals) lose 1 and 2 valence electrons, respectively, because of their low Ionization energies.
