Not all ionic bonds are oxidation-reduction reactions. Typically, a metal paired with a nonmetal would form an ionic bond. Ex. Ag+ + Cl- --> AgCl (aq) these atoms are bonded with an ionic bond *All compounds with ionic bonds also have covalent bonding, but to a lesser degree.
Typically, a metal and a nonmetal will form an ionic bond. You can also go by electronegativity. The difference in electronegativity can be used to predict the type of bond between atoms. Elements with electronegativity differences between 1.6 and 2.0 form ionic bonds if a metal is involved. Elements with electronegativity differences of 2.0 or greater form ionic bonds.
The difference in electro-negative between the two atoms is below 0.4. Atoms are both from the nonmetal groups.
All elements which have distinct multiatomic molecules are covalent. (Noble gases have only one atom per molecule, so no bonds; metals are ... metallic.) If they were ionic, how would the iodine atoms "know" which ones were supposed to be positive and which ones were supposed to be negative?
An ionic bond is between a metal and a non-metal. Calcium is a metal and chlorine is a non-metal, so yes they form an ionic bond as CaCl2
It would form an ionic bond. The atom with 7 electrons is cation and the atom with 1 is an anion.

it is called IONIC compound
A molecule may consist of atoms of a single chemical element, as with oxygen (O2), or of different elements, as with water (H2O). Atoms and complexes connected by non-covalent bonds such as hydrogen bonds or ionic bonds are generally not considered single molecules.
Almost every non metal except the elements in group 18 can make ionic bonds with lithium.

Ionic Bonds because to form an ionic bond, carbon would either have to lose or gain 4 electrons, which would take too much energy to do.

metallic bond is present in KCL because all metal have metallic bond.
