Generally the ionic bond is formed between a metal and a nonmetal (cation and anion). As an example, sodium and bromine: sodium bromide, NaBr.
Zinc chloride is an ionic compound due to the bond between the metal and non-metal.
These bonds are called ionic bonds. They are formed by electrostatic attractions.
The bond is covalent. If the bond is made by transferring electrons then it is an ionic bond, but if they are sharing the it is covalent.
Ionic.

Ionic bonding forms compounds.
Sodium chloride has an ionic bond.
Yes, SiCl4 forms ionic bonds. Silicon (Si) is a metalloid that can exhibit both covalent and ionic bonding. In SiCl4, silicon forms ionic bonds with chlorine (Cl) due to the large electronegativity difference between the two elements.
Yes, two anions can combine to form an ionic bond by transferring electrons to each other. The attraction between the positively charged ion created by the electron transfer and the negatively charged anion forms the ionic bond between the two ions.
Magnesium is an s-block element and it forms only ionic bonds with other elements.
it forms an ionic bond
