The bond that occurs when atoms share electrons is Ionic Bond
Ionic bonds
It is an ionic bond.
A paper clip is a mechanical bond in the macroscopic world. A covalent bond is when two atoms share a pair of electrons while an ionic bond is when one atom donates an electron to another atom, resulting in both atoms having an electrical charge.
A metal tends to form an ionic bond with a non-metal. Metals bonding with other metals form a metallic bond, and non-metals bonding with other non-metals form a covalent bond.
A metal tends to form an ionic bond with a non-metal. Metals bonding with other metals form a metallic bond, and non-metals bonding with other non-metals form a covalent bond.
Look at the atoms involved in the bond. Then look at the electronegativity values of the atoms involved. The stronger the en value of the atoms the stronger the bond is and the more "ionic" the bond is.
