Ionic bonds form between two elements that have a very large difference in electronegativity ie. a metal and a non-metal. The electronegative element will want an electron to make it stable whilst the less electronegative element wants to donate an electron to make it stable. Therefore the metallic element donates a electron to the non-metal and both become ions, which attract each other. Eg. Na becomes Na+ and Cl becomes Cl-, the opposite charges attract, forming the bond.

Explanation:

Physical change is when matter changes its form but is still the same substance.

Chemical change is when matter changes its composition.

iron and oxygen from rust  It's a chemical change because iron and oxygen form a new compound different from the reactants.

iron is denser brightly when ignited . This is a chemical property because iron reacts with oxygen.

oil and water do not mix it's a physical change, oil and water are in touch but they do not react.

mercury melts at -39°C it's a physical property because mercury changes from solid to liquid but it still is mercury.
