Not all ionic bonds are oxidation-reduction reactions. Typically, a metal paired with a nonmetal would form an ionic bond.
Ex. Ag+ + Cl- --> AgCl (aq) these atoms are bonded with an ionic bond
*All compounds with ionic bonds also have covalent bonding, but to a lesser degree.
An Ionic bond is formed by metals and nonmetals.
When a metal reacts with a nonmetal, electrons are relocated. The metal loses its valence electrons and the nonmetals gain them. After, both ions formed will have full outer electron shells. The positive ion is attracted to the negative and a strong ionic bond is formed.
group 1 or group 2 elements with group 17 or group 16 elements
Atoms for group 1 or group 2 generally from ionic bonds (and hence ionic compounds) with elements of group 17 or group 16.
All (or at least, almost all) metal atoms can form ionic bonds with non-metal atoms.
In most cases, metals and non metals together form ionic bonds.
magnesium and bromine
Magnesium and bromine (Apex)
Does two oxygen atoms for an ionic bond
Only two different atoms with opposite electrical charge can form an ionic bond.
Two atoms will form an ionic bond by the complete transfer of the valence electrons if the electronegativity difference between the two atoms is above 1.7
Sodium and bromine
No, the bond would be nonpolar covalent

When atoms lose and gain electrons, an ionic bond will form. When atoms share electrons, a covalent bond will form.
No, the bond would be nonpolar covalent
Cations donate atoms to form an ionic bond.
Cations donate atoms to form an ionic bond.
The bond of the atoms in the diatomic oxygen molecule is called double bond.
Ionic bond exist between metals and nonmetals.
