ionic bond is the transfer of elements
Ionic bonds are formed between a metal and non-metal, for example sodium chloride. An atom of sodium will lose an electron and form a positive ion. An atom of chlorine will gain an electron and form a negative ion.

Answer:
Explanation:
If atoms have similar electronegativities (the same affinity for electrons), covalent bonds are most likely to occur. ... For example: carbon does not form ionic bonds because it has 4 valence electrons, half of an octet. To form ionic bonds, Carbon molecules must either gain or lose 4 electrons
