Attraction of electrons to protons.
Metals form cations, but before ionic bonding. An ionic bond forms from the electrostatic attraction between oppositely charged cations and anions. So the ions form first, then the ionic bond.
Ionic bonding forms compounds.
No. Ionic bonding produces ions. Covalent bonding usually produces molecules.
Mg3N2 is ionic containing Mg2+ and N3- ions

Ionic bonding is based on electrostatic attraction between ions.

No. Ionic bonding produces ions. Covalent bonding usually produces molecules.
Metals and nonmetals tend to undergo ionic bonding when reacting with one another. Metals lose electrons and become positively charged ions, and the nonmetals gain these electrons and become negatively charged ions. The electrostatic attraction between the oppositely charged ions forms the ionic bond.
Magnesium will form a positive ion during ionic bonding. Sulfur will form a negative ion during ionic bonding. In ionic bonding, metals form positive ions and nonmetals form negative ions.
Ionic bonding forms compounds.
Ionic and covalent bonding involve electrons. Ionic bonding involves the loss and gain of electrons, form ions. Covalent bonding involves the sharing of electrons.
