Does an anion always form a covalent bond?
No. An anion may contain covalent bonds, if it is a polyatomic anion, but an anion forms only ionic bonds if the anion's chemical integrity is maintained.
What is the type of bonds in copper sulphate?
The copper cation is bound ionically to the sulfate anion while the sulfate anion is held together by covalent bonds between the sulfur and oxygen.
When naming ionic bonds what does the anion always end in?

What bond involves the attraction of a cation to a anion?
An ionic bond, of course.
Can a covalent bond form between an anion and a cation?
when forces of attraction overcome forces of repulsion
What creates the bonds between atoms?
Covalent bonds are formed by the sharing of two electrons. Ionic bonds are the attraction of a positively charged cation and a negatively charged anion.

Are Ionic bonds are bonds between metals and non-metals?
Yes, Ionic bonds are the bonds between a cation(metal) and an anion(non-metal)

What bond involves the attraction of a cation to a anion?
An ionic bond, of course.
Which compound is held together by ionic bonds?
Electrostatic attraction between positive and negative charges.
What is the ionic bonds is the attraction between?
.... between one or more postive (metal) ions and one or more negative ions like chloride, sulfate, nitrate, carbonate etc. Example: 2Al3+ + 3SO42- --> Al2(SO4)3
What is the intermolecular attraction of covalent bonds?
Small covalent molecules have a weak force of attraction.
Is the sillicon is cation or anion?
It is seldom either, it tends to form covalent bonds
What is the strongest of the intermolecular bonds?
Hydrogen bonds can be considered as the strongest intermolecular attraction forces.
