Electrostatic Force .
It is an attractive force between oppositely charged ions.
The analogy is the north and south poles of a magnet.
NB NaCl (Sodium chloride) is ionic. It splits into the ions Na^(+) & Cl^(-)
Notice the charges are opposite (+/-) and there is the same number of charges on each side, viz ; '1'

Is ionic bond a intermolecular force?
No, an ionic bond is an intramolecular force, as it holds atoms within a molecule together.
How does ionic bonds connect atoms together?
you guys are stupid for not knowing this answer
What is the force that holds cations and anions together?
The force is a chemical bond
What holds crystals of ionic compounds together?
Electrostatic attraction between oppositely charged ions.
What is an attractive force that holds atoms together to form a compound?
It is an electric force - the "ionic bond".
What is the force that holds compounds together?
Anions and cations are held together by ionic bonds. Metal atoms are held together by metallic bonds. Nonmetals are held together by covalent bonds.
Is ionic bond a intermolecular force?
No, an ionic bond is an intramolecular force, as it holds atoms within a molecule together.

What is the force that holds cations and anions together?
The force is a chemical bond
What force holds compounds together?
bonds hold compounds together. Depending on the type of compound, different bonds are used. For example NaCl (sodium chloride) which is commonly referred to as table salt is held together by an ionic bond.
What holds crystals of ionic compounds together?
Electrostatic attraction between oppositely charged ions.
What is an attractive force that holds atoms together to form a compound?
It is an electric force - the "ionic bond".
What force holds NaCI units together?
An ionic bond do hold the atoms of NaCl together.
What force holds a molecule of HCI together in an ionic bond?
Yes. You are correct.
What type of bond is the electrostatic force that holds ions together?
Ionic bonds
What compounds is held together by electrostatic force between two ions?
A ionic compound
What force is holding atoms together in compounds?
It not really a force, atoms are made up of protons, neutrons and electrons. The outside bit of atoms is the electrons bit which is fuzzy and when the atoms touch each other the fuzzy bits sort of join together. The weak nuclear force holds atoms together in a compound and the strong nuclear force holds atomic particles together within the atom. They are called Electromagnetic forces.
