ionic
For example salts have an ionic bond.
by an ionic bond, which is the electrostatic attraction between positively charged ions
Ionic; it's a bond between a metal (Na) and a nonmetal (Cl).
If the electrons are "stolen" from the metal by the nonmetal, an ionic bond is formed. If the electrons are shared between the metal and the nonmetal, a covalent bond is formed. If the electrons "resonate" between the metal and the nonmetal, a resonance bond is formed.

Metal - metal compounds don't exist... Only metal-nonmetal and nonmetal-nonmetal
Ionic
When nonmetals bond with metals the nonmetals will take electrons from the metal to fill their electron shell and empty the shell of the metal. The electrical attraction of the (+) charged metal and the (-) charged nonmetal form an ionic bond between the two.Nonmetals share electrons in a covalent bond.
a covalent bond is a bond between two nonmetals. the electrons are "shared" between the two atoms. example: H2O. an ionic bond forms between a metal and nonmetal. in an ionic bond, the electrons aren't shared, but are transferred from the metal to the nonmetal, leaving the metal with a positive charge and the nonmetal with a negative charge. examples: MgO, NaCl.
Two metals will not bond. The type of bond between two non-metals is a covalent bond The type of bond between a non-metal and a metal is a molecular bond
The metal and nonmetal will tend to form an ionic bond between them when they combine chemically.
Various things. If it is a nonmetal and nonmetal it going to be a covalent bond. If it is a metal and nonmetal it is going to be an ionic bond. If it is a metal and metal then it is a metallic bond.
An ionic compound is a bond between a metal and a nonmetal.
