Ionic bonds are formed between positively charged atoms (lost electrons) and negatively charged atoms (gained electrons).
No. However, covalent bonds share electrons between two atoms. In an ionic bond, electrons are either gained or lost forming ions.

The words are all arbitrary - - - BUT electrons have a "negative" charge and are attracted to a positive voltage. (Opposites attract.)
Carbon is the "utility player" of chemistry, and can bond in many different ways with other elements. It generally shares electrons covalently with other non-metals, usually hydrogen, oxygen, and nitrogen. It doesn't typically lose or gain them (but can in certain situations.)
No, cations have a positive charge and have lost electrons. Anions have a negative charge and have gained electrons. In an ionic compound anions and cations attract each other due to opposite charges.

ionic bond is formed by the complete transfer of electrons
Ionic bond is formed between the ions.
An ionic bond between the ions (formed from the atoms).
An ionic bond is formed when electrons have been lost by one atom (to become a positively charged ion) and gained by another atom (to become a negatively charged ion), resulting in an attraction between the oppositely charged ions.

Atoms that have lost one or more electrons form an ionic bond with an atom that has gained one of more electrons.
One atom has lost electrons . And the other atom has gained electrons.
Atoms that have lost one or more electrons form an ionic bond with an atom that has gained one of more electrons.
Ionic bonds are formed when electrons are gained or lost. This is the complete transfer of electrons between the atoms. For e.g sodium(Na) releases its one electron which is transfered to the deserving chlorine atom(Cl). So, chlorine becomes negatively charged and the sodium atom becomes a positive ion(Na+). This is the case when electrons are completely transfered from sodium to chlorine and ionic bond is formed i.e NaCl. Moreover, when electrons are shared between atoms covalent bonds may form.
