Solution

An ionic bond is formed by the electrostatic attraction between positive and negative ions. The bond is formed between two atoms when one or more electrons are transferred from the valence shell of one atom to the valence shell of the other atom.
Therefore, during the formation of an ionic bond electron transfer takes place from one atom to the other.
