Question

metals and nonmetals form which kind of bond?
olar covalent
ionic
non - polar covalent
metalli

Explanation:

Brief Explanations

In chemistry (a subfield of Natural Science), metals tend to lose electrons (forming cations) and nonmetals tend to gain electrons (forming anions). The electrostatic attraction between these oppositely charged ions forms an ionic bond. Polar covalent bonds form between atoms with moderate electronegativity differences (usually nonmetal - nonmetal), non - polar covalent bonds form between atoms with similar electronegativities (nonmetal - nonmetal), and metallic bonds form between metal atoms. So metals and nonmetals form ionic bonds.

Answer:

Ionic (the option with the text "Ionic")
