One of them looses electrons(metals) forming cation and other gains electrons

(non-metals) forming anions and thus both attain stable electronic configuration and get

bonded together by an ionic bond.

What kind of bond results when electron transfer occurs between atoms of 2 different elements?

The kind of bond that results when electron transfer occurs between atoms of two different elements can be considered covalent, polar covalent, or ionic. The type of bond will depend upon the identities of the elements and their electronegativity's.


Which kind of compound generally results when nonmetal atoms chemically combine with metal atoms?

An ionic bond forms between a metal and a nonmetal. Ionic bonding transfers electrons.

When are IONIC compounds are formed?

ionic compounds are formed by the complete transfer of electrons. If the electronegativity difference between the two atoms is above 1.7, then ionic bond is formed between the two atoms.


A bond where atoms are lent or and borrowed?

A bond where atoms are lent or and borrowed is called an ionic bond.


Can a covalent bond from when electrons are transferred between 2 atoms?

No, It would be an ionic bond. For Covalent is the sharing of atoms, ionic is transferring.


Can ionic bonds be established between identical atoms?

No.


What is the strongest bond between 2 atoms?

ionic


Why doesn't ionic bonding cause a change in the elements?

In an ionic bond atoms are attracted by electrostatic forces.
