Solution Steps

Step 1: Understanding Ionic Bonds

Ionic bonds are a type of chemical bond that occurs when one atom donates an electron to another atom. This typically happens between atoms with significantly different electronegativities.

Step 2: Identifying the Types of Elements Involved

Ionic bonds usually form between metals and non-metals. Metals tend to lose electrons and become positively charged ions, while non-metals tend to gain electrons and become negatively charged ions.

Step 3: Analyzing the Options
  • Metals and non-metals: This is the typical scenario for ionic bond formation.
  • Two metals: Metals do not typically form ionic bonds with each other; they form metallic bonds.
  • Two nonmetals: Nonmetals usually form covalent bonds with each other, not ionic bonds.

Final Answer

\(\boxed{\text{metals and non-metals}}\)
