Question

Brief Explanations
Cesium (Cs) is a metal and chlorine (Cl) is a non - metal. Ionic bonds form between metals and non - metals. Metals tend to lose electrons to form cations and non - metals tend to gain electrons to form anions, which then attract each other electrostatically to form an ionic bond.
