Metal and nonmetals form ionic bonds. The metal atom will give one or more electrons to the nonmetal atom. This is so that they can both have full electron shells. But by donating and accepting electrons, the metal becomes a positive ion as it has more protons than electrons, and the nonmetal becomes a negative ion as it has more electrons than protons.
For instance, sodium chloride (salt).
The sodium (metal) gives an electron to chlorine (nonmetal). By getting rid of one electron, the metal atom gains a full outer electron shell, and by accepting three electrons ( from 3 sodium atoms), the nonmetal atom also gains a full outer electron shell. But they both become ions.
Hope this helps ( I'm only 14)

That would be ... an ionic bond....
What chemical bond is formed by the transfer of an electron?
A covalent bond is formed when electrons are transferred from atom to atom.

An ionic bond results when there is a transfer of one or more electrons from atom to another atom.
What type of chemical bond is Chromium sulfate?
Chromium sulfate typically forms ionic bonds. In ionic bonding, one atom donates electrons to another atom, resulting in the formation of charged ions that are attracted to each other.
What kind of bond would metal and nonmetal typically make?
