Ionic bonding

An ionic bond forms between

• two metals

• two non metals

• a metal and a non metal

• two atoms

How does an ionic bond form?

• The metal transfers electrons to the non metal

• The two metals share electrons

• The non metal transfers electrons to the metal

• The two non metals share electrons
