Non metals generally form anions. They gain electrons during ionic bonding.

cation and anion
There are two kinds of bonding; ionic and covalent. Ionic bonds form between metals and non-metals. Covalent bonds form between non-metals

ionic and covalent:)
Most of the elements in the top right of the period table (but not "group 8" - the furthest column to the right) will readily form anions (negatively charged ions) that can then form ionic bonds. Examples are O, N, P and S
Covalent bonding is the strongest type of bond, where atoms share electrons. Ionic bonding is next, where atoms transfer electrons to form charged ions that are attracted to each other. Hydrogen bonding is the weakest type, relying on electrostatic attraction between a partially positive hydrogen and a partially negative atom like oxygen or nitrogen.

A metal and a nonmetal.
Elements and compounds can form ionic bonds, covalent bonds, or metallic bonds. In ionic bonds, electrons are transferred from one atom to another. Covalent bonds involve the sharing of electrons between atoms. Metallic bonds occur in metals where electrons are free to move between atoms.
In an ionic bond, one element typically donates electrons (forming a positively charged cation) while another element accepts those electrons (forming a negatively charged anion). These oppositely charged ions are then attracted to each other due to electrostatic forces, resulting in the formation of the ionic bond.
in an ionic bond the electrons are gaining or receiving electrons. in a covalent bond 2 atoms are sharing electrons
