Ionic bond; ionic bonds occur when an element, mainly a metal, loses its electron ( to become positively charged) to an other element, mainly a nonmetal, ( to become negatively charged), to form an ionic compound.
For example :-
Na + Cl = NaCl

Chemical bonds that steal electrons are known as ionic bonds. In ionic bonding, one atom gives up electrons to another atom, resulting in the formation of positively and negatively charged ions that are held together by the attraction of opposite charges. This process typically occurs between a metal and a nonmetal.
There are two types of bonds: ionic and covalent bonds. Covalent bonds form when two atoms share electrons, whereas ionic bonds are formed between a metal and a non-metal when one or more of the metal's electrons are transfered to the non-metal. I think of it as the metal giving :) but I guess a non-metal stealing electrons would have the same outcome.
Chemical bonds are formed by the sharing or donating of electrons. The electrons that atoms use to make chemical bonds are the outermost electrons, also known as valence electrons.
Breaking of bonds but also formation of new bonds.
This is an ionic bond.
Electrons are the particles involved in chemical bonds.
Covalent bonds are chemical bonds where atoms share electrons. This sharing of electrons allows atoms to achieve a more stable electron configuration. Covalent bonds can form between two nonmetals or a nonmetal and a metalloid.
