They OVERLAP
If the electrons are "stolen" from the metal by the nonmetal, an ionic bond is formed. If the electrons are shared between the metal and the nonmetal, a covalent bond is formed. If the electrons "resonate" between the metal and the nonmetal, a resonance bond is formed.
There are many. Oxygen and Nitrogen are examples.
The metal loses its electrons and trannsfers them to the non-metal to form an ioinic bond.
an ionic bond
They OVERLAP
It accepts electrons from the metal and forms a negatively charged ion
Electrons are tranferred from one atom to another. Typically from a metal to a non-metal

The electrons are shared between the atoms. An ionic bond occurs between a metal and a non-metal. The metal donates one or more electrons to the non-metal, causing the metal to have a positive charge. When the non-metal accepts the electrons, it becomes negatively charged, thus resulting in an attraction between the two charged ions, and forming a bond.
Since calcium is a metal, it gives up electrons.
A covalent bond is a bond between a non-metal and another non-metal, and shares electrons, while an ionic bond is a bond between a non-metal and a metal and, instead of sharing electrons, they form ions.
An ionic bond is a bond between a metal and a non-metal. A covalent bond is a bond between two non-metals. Magnesium is a metal and Bromine is a non-metal, which means it is ionically bonded.
The bond between a metal and non-metal.
The bond between a metal and non-metal.
when a metal forms bond with a non metal the bond is an ionic bond.
