A bond that forms when electrons are transferred from one atom to another is called an ionic bond.

Here's why:

* Transfer of electrons: In ionic bonding, one atom (usually a metal) loses electrons, becoming positively charged (a cation), while another atom (usually a non-metal) gains those electrons, becoming negatively charged (an anion).

* Electrostatic attraction: The opposite charges of the cation and anion then attract each other strongly, forming the ionic bond.
