Ionic comes from ion as you might have guessed. An ion is a charged particle (either positive or negative), and ionic is the adjective meaning charged. An ionic bond is a chemical bond based on electrostatic attraction (the attraction of charges), and we generally associate it with the bonding of metals to non-metals.
Ionic properties. Ionic bonds form when a metal reacts with a non-metal. Metals form positive ions; non-metals form negative ions. Ionic bonds are the electrostatic forces of attraction between oppositely charged ions. The oppositely charged ions are arranged in a regular way to form giant ionic lattices. Ionic compounds often form crystals as a result.
