How is an ionic bond formed?
Ionic bonds are formed when one atom looses an electron to become a cation, and one atom gains an electron to become an anion. The metal donates an electron and the non-metal accepts the electron.
what is metallic bonding
a chemical bond where positive metal ions form a lattice structure with freely moving electrons between them
