I believe the correct term to fill in the blank would be ionic. A molecule of common table salt, or nacl, is the result of ionic bond forming between a sodium (na) atom and a chlorine (cl) atom. Ionic bonding is a result of complete transfer of electrons between atoms. It usually happens between a metal and a nonmetal.
