Which Bond is formed when electrons have been lost by one atom and gained by another atom?

An ionic bond is formed when electrons have been lost by one atom (to become a positively charged ion) and gained by another atom (to become a negatively charged ion), resulting in an attraction between the oppositely charged ions.

What is a type of chemical bond where atoms gain or lose electrons?

Ionic bonds are formed when electrons are gained or lost. This is the complete transfer of electrons between the atoms. For e.g sodium(Na) releases its one electron which is transfered to the deserving chlorine atom(Cl). So, chlorine becomes negatively charged and the sodium atom becomes a positive ion(Na+). This is the case when electrons are completely transfered from sodium to chlorine and ionic bond is formed i.e NaCl. Moreover, when electrons are shared between atoms covalent bonds may form.
