between metals and non metals there is ionic bonding because there is a complete transfer (not sharing) of electrons from the metal to the non metal

An ionic bond is a type of chemical bond formed through an electrostatic attraction between two oppositely charged ions. Ionic bonds are formed between a cation, which is usually a metal, and an anion, which is usually a nonmetal. Covalent bonding occurs when pairs of electrons are shared by atoms.
