Valence electrons
Metal - metal compounds don't exist... Only metal-nonmetal and nonmetal-nonmetal
it is bonding that occurs between a metal and a nonmetal with a transfer of electrons

When nonmetals bond with metals the nonmetals will take electrons from the metal to fill their electron shell and empty the shell of the metal. The electrical attraction of the (+) charged metal and the (-) charged nonmetal form an ionic bond between the two.Nonmetals share electrons in a covalent bond.
Nails are metal.

Sodium (metal) reacts with chlorine (nonmetal) to form sodium chloride. Magnesium (metal) reacts with oxygen (nonmetal) to form magnesium oxide. Aluminum (metal) reacts with sulfur (nonmetal) to form aluminum sulfide. Lithium (metal) reacts with nitrogen (nonmetal) to form lithium nitride. Potassium (metal) reacts with fluorine (nonmetal) to form potassium fluoride. Calcium (metal) reacts with phosphorus (nonmetal) to form calcium phosphide. Barium (metal) reacts with iodine (nonmetal) to form barium iodide. Titanium (metal) reacts with carbon (nonmetal) to form titanium carbide. Iron (metal) reacts with chlorine (nonmetal) to form iron(III) chloride. Zinc (metal) reacts with sulfur (nonmetal) to form zinc sulfide.
BaO is ionic because it is composed of a metal (Ba) and nonmetal (O) elements. In ionic compounds, electrons are transferred from the metal to the nonmetal, creating positively charged cations and negatively charged anions which are held together by electrostatic forces of attraction.
