Explanation & Answer

Metals tend to bond with non-metals ionically because metal tend to lose electrons and they become positive ions. And non-metals tend to gain electrons and they become negative ions. So it is already clear that positive and negative ions attract and when they attract, they form an ionic bond.................!!!!
