Ionic bonding occurs when metallic and non-metallic atoms exchange electrons to complete their outer electron shells, resulting in the formation of positive metal ions and negative non-metallic ions. These ions attract each other through electrostatic forces, which is the essence of ionic bonding.

What is the nature of the attraction between positive metal ions and negative non-metallic ions?

What term is used to describe the electrostatic attraction in ionic bonding?
