Ionic bonds are formed between metallic and non-metallic elements. The electrostatic attractions between the oppositely charged ions forms a lattice structure. Ionic compounds share similar properties, such as not conducting electricity while solid. But good electrical conductivity in aqueous solution or a liquid state.
