Is the chemical bond that causes silicon atoms to combine called ionic bond?

no its a convalent bond as if it was an ionic bond it would be between a non-metal and metal (most of the time) but also between two ions. Because you are talking about two atoms it means that it is a covalent bond.

What type of bond is magnesium sulfate?

If it's a non-metal and non-metal, it is a colvalent bond. If it's metal and non-metal or metal and metal, then it is ionic. Magnesium Sulfate (MgSO4 / Magnesium + Sulfate) is IONICbecause it is a metal and non-metal but it has a convalent bond in it, which is SO4 (Sulfur + Oxygen).
