Which type of bond results when one or more valence electrons are transferred from one atom to another?

Ionic bonds.

Explanation:

The cation loses an electron while the anion gains the electron. This is due to the atom's (element) #Delta##EN# (electronegativity). Only time this is possible is if the molecular bond is ionic (#Delta##EN# is 1.5 or above).

Hope this helps :)
