In an ionic bond one element is positively charged and the other is negatively charged. The force keeping these molecules together is the electrostatic attraction between a negative and positive charge.

An ionic bond as a bond using electrostatic attraction, this is a bond that uses the attraction of two oppositely charged ions. Think of a magnet, how the positive repels the positive of another magnet, and attracts the negative of the same magnet.
