Question

What are the elements in an ionic bond?

Answer 1

Answer:

Ionic bonds require an electron donor, often a metal, and an electron acceptor, a nonmetal. Ionic bonding is observed because metals have few electrons in their outer-most orbitals. By losing those electrons, these metals can achieve noble gas configuration and satisfy the octet rule.
