They bond in a lattice structure. They are able to bond because metals need to lose electrons to complete their outer shell and non-metals need to gain. They form ionic bonds because of this.
Each metal atom must have one or more electrons in their outermost electron shells, but never more than 4 electrons This means that the metal atom needs to lose 3 to 1 electrons to make the outermost electron arrangement become an octet structure, which is a stable structure Non metal atoms must have 4 to 8 electrons in their outermost electron shells This means that non metal atoms (which are not noble gases) will have to gain 1 to 3 electrons to make the outermost electron arrangement become an octet structure Metals need to lose 1 to 3 electrons, while non-metals need to gain 1 to 3 electrons Therefore the metal will give their electrons to non-metals Metals become positively charged, as negatively-charged-electrons were lost Non-metals become negatively charged, as negatively-charged electrons were gained The positive and negative electrostatic attraction between the two ions result in a formation of an IONIC COMPOUND, formed between a metal and non-metal
