most ionic compounds are salt
Hydrogen is an element, not a bond. It can form bonds, which are usually covalent, but an ionic bond with hydrogen is possible, for example, lithium hydride is an ionic compound. While this, like every compound, does have its own distinctive features, I would not call it a special form of ionic bond.
Can an ionic compound ever consist of a cation-cation or anion- anion bond? Explain.
Based off my chemistry class, for bonds to be ionic it must be a bonding of a metal and a non-metal. Since chlorine and carbon are both non metals they can't be ionic, we would call it covalent bond but molecular compound works as well.
Oh, dude, NH3 is actually not an ionic compound, it's ammonia. See, NH3 is a covalent compound because it's made up of nonmetals bonding together. So, it's like the cool kid in chemistry that doesn't follow the rules of ionic bonding.

ionic bond
tricalcium phosphate is an ionic compound do to the fact that it is the bonding of a metal and a nonmetal. it is usually only a molecular compound if it is a bond between two nonmetals such as oxygen and hydrogen.

Can an ionic compound ever consist of a cation-cation or anion- anion bond? Explain.
When two or more atoms join together to form a compound, this is known as a chemical bond. Bonds can be formed through sharing electrons (covalent bonds) or transferring electrons (ionic bonds) between atoms.
It depends on what scale you are considering. On a particle level, if two or more atoms are joined by covalent bonds, you have a molecule. If it's an ionic bond you have a set of ions. If you are thinking of the substance on a large scale it would be a compound.

Covalent [the sharing of a pair of electrons] bond energy.
