A chemical bond in which one atom gives up an electron to another, forming two ions of opposite charge, and thus generating an electrical force that holds the atoms together. The atoms are thus held together by the attractive force between a positively and a negatively charged ion.
An ionic bond is typically formed between a metal and a non-metal.
A bond between two elements caused by a difference in charge created by the donation of an electron by one of the atoms to another.
Atoms that have only one or very few electrons in their valence shell are very vulnerable to losing them. If another atom comes along with lots of electrons in it's valence shell, but not quite enough to be complete, the other atom's lonely old electron will get snatched away to join the shell with lots of electrons, and make a complete electron shell. When this happens though, a discrepancy in charge is created. The atom that now has the extra electron it's not supposed to have has a more negative charge, and the atom that got its electron stolen has a more positive charge. As you know, opposites attract, and in this case they attract so strongly that they two atoms become bonded to together.
For example, what happens if you have Na(sodium) and S(sulfur) during an ionic bonding. Here is a simple way to figure it out. Sodium has one electron in the outside electron shell and sulfur has two empty "spaces." So, if sodium(metal) give sulfur(non-metal) the one electron, but sulfur has one space left so another sodium comes along and that sodium gives its electron to sulfur. Thus, sulfur has no spaces. The chemical formula is Na2S because Sodium was used twice.

What type of bond holds sodium fluoride together?
ionic bonds :)
The attraction between sodium ions and chloride ions form what kind of bond?
Sodium chloride has an ionic bond.
What bonds are formed by the attraction of oppositely charged ions?
Ionic bonds are formed by the attraction of oppositely charged ions. Positive ions (cations) are attracted to negative ions (anions), leading to the formation of a bond through electrostatic attraction. This results in a strong bond due to the complete transfer of electrons between the atoms.
When potassium and fluorine bond what kind of bond is it?
I remember that by thinking of table salt. Basic Na(Sodium) and Cl(Chlorine) one is a metal the other is a non-metal. They have an ionic bond; same as potassium and fluorine. I remember the difference between ionic and covalent by this someones answer which said "the names bond. Ionic bond, taken not shared" Its silly but it works :)
What type of bond will form between K and F?
The bond between the metal potassium (K) and the nonmetal fluorine (F) is ionic. During the formation of the ionic compound potassium fluoride (KF), the potassium atom loses an electron and becomes a positively charged ion, and the fluorine atom gains the electron and becomes a negatively charged ion. The electrostatic attraction between the two oppositely charged ions is the ionic bond. In general, a metal and a nonmetal will form an ionic bond.
