This type of bonding is called as ionic bonding.
An ionic bond is a type of chemical bond that involves a metal and a nonmetal ion (or polyatomic ions such as ammonium) through electrostatic attraction. In short, it is a bond formed by the attraction between two oppositely charged ions.
The metal donates one or more electrons, forming a positively charged ion or cation with a stable electron configuration. These electrons then enter the non metal, causing it to form a negatively charged ion or anion which also has a stable electron configuration. The electrostatic attraction between the oppositely charged ions causes them to come together and form a bond.

∙ 14y agoThis is called an ionic bond, because when atoms gain or lose electrons, they become charged and are called ions. Positive and negative ions attract each other, and they form ionic compounds, which are held together by ionic bonds.
