How and why do ionic bonds form? Check all of the boxes that apply. Ionic bonds form between metal atoms and other metal atoms. Ionic bonds form between metal atoms and nonmetal atoms. The more electronegative atoms transfer one or more electrons to the less electronegative atom. The less electronegative atoms transfers one or more electrons to the more electronegative atom. The metal atom forms a cation and the nonmetal atom forms an anion. The attraction between ions with the same charge forms an ionic bond. The attraction between ions with an opposite charge forms an ionic bond.
