.... 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
An ionic bond is the attraction between oppositely charged ions. When two atoms share electrons, a covalent bond is formed.
The ionic bond is between a cation and an anion.
The electrostatic attraction is between two ions.
cation and anion
A metal and a nonmetal.
A metal and a nonmetal.
Ionic bonds are based on the electrostatic attraction of ions; covalent bonds are based on the sharing of electrons between two atoms.

Ionic bonds are based on the electrostatic attraction of ions; covalent bonds are based on the sharing of electrons between two atoms.
Ionic bonds involve electrostatic attraction between ions and transfer of electrons.Covalent bonds involve sharing of electrons.
Ionic bonds are formed by electrostatic attraction.

Ionic bonds
Electrostatic attraction between oppositely charged ions.
Electrostatic attraction between unlike charges, sometimes called a coulombic attraction
Ionic Bonds form between positive cations, and negative anions and has an electronegativity of greater then 1.7. All ionic bonds are therefor formed between a metal and non-metal.
Good choice of words You are correct. The bond is an ionic bond
