Ionic bonding occurs between a pair of atoms when one of the atoms gives up its valence electrons to the other. The result is that both atoms have filled shells. Both atoms also end up with a charge, one negative, and the other positive. We call the positive charged atom a cation, and the negatively charged one, an anion.

The actual bond occurs because the two new ions now have opposite charges, which attract them to one another.

∙ 9y agoBy transfer of electrons from one atom to another typically between a metal and a non-metal.
This is a simplification- a compound like NH4Cl contains NH4+ and Cl-, Na2SO4 contains Na+ and SO42- so the metal plus non metal recipe is just a description of the majority of ionic compounds you can obtain salts by the reaction of an acid with a base and these compounds are generally ionic.
