Ionic bonding occurs between a metal and a nonmetal. Metals tend to lose electrons to achieve a stable electron configuration, while nonmetals tend to gain electrons. This transfer of electrons between the two types of elements leads to the formation of ionic bonds.

Is argon covalent or ionic bonding?

Argon does not participate in covalent or ionic bonding. It is a noble gas with a full outer electron shell, making it stable and unreactive.


Should ionic bonding apply to beryllium?

In the elemental form of beryllium, it will form metallic bonds. If beryllium is reacted with a non-metal, it will then form ionic bonds to the non-metal which it is reacted with.


Are electrons are used in bonding are called valence or ionic?

They are called valence electrons. Ionic is a bond between a nonmetal and a metal. A covalent bond(molecular bond) is between two or more non metals.
