4. An ionic bond

Explanation:

An ionic bond is formed when there is a transfer of electron from the metallic atom to the non-metallic atom. So if one atom steals an electron from another atom to form bond, it means the electron was transferred from the original atom to the new atom. Thus an ionic bond is formed.
