All forms of chemical (ionic or otherwise) involve only the valence band electrons. These electrons reside in the outermost s orbital and outermost 3 p orbitals.

How do you figure out which bond is most ionic?

Look at the atoms involved in the bond. Then look at the electronegativity values of the atoms involved. The stronger the en value of the atoms the stronger the bond is and the more "ionic" the bond is.

What bond forms between two atoms?

A chemical bond that may be ionic where the atoms bonded together are charged or covalent where electrons are shared. The nature of the bond depends on the relative electronegativity of the atoms involved. An example of an ionic bond is in sodium chloride. An example of a covalent bond is one between carbon and hydrogen for example in a hydrocarbon. When an element atom bonds to another atom of the same elemnt then that bond is covalent, eg O2, N2, H2, S8.
