An ionic bond is formed between metals and non-metals. So For instance between members of groups 1-3(metals) of the periodic table and groups 15-17(non-metals) form ionic bonds.

Does magnesium nitride have a ionic or covalent bond?

In this case, Mg has a value of 1.3 and N has a value of 3.0, so it is an ionic bond. Ionic and covalent bonds are on a continuum. Some "ionic" compounds are in fact partly covalent because the positive cation (e.g. magnesium) polarizes (attracts the electrons of) the anion forming a stronger bond than if it was 100% ionic. A table of ELECTRONEGATIVITY can help one determine whether a bond is ionic or covalent. The bigger the difference in electronegativity the more ionic the bond.
