The correct answer is: Low ionization energy of metallic atom and high electron affinity of the non-metallic atom
The most important conditions for the formation of ionic bond are low ionization energy of metallic atom and high electron affinity of the non-metallic atom.
Low ionization of the metallic atom and high electron affinity of the non-metallic atom makes the enthalpy of formation of the ionic substance more and more exothermic.
