Do the ionic bond between molecules in ice prevent the ice from sinking?

No, because ice does not contain ionic bonds. It contains polar covalent and hydrogen bonds. The hydrogen bonds force the molecules to arrange into a hexagonal crystal structure. The leaves spaces that cause the ice to expand, thus decreasing its density and allowing it to float in water.
