A chemical bond formed between two ions with opposite charges. Ionic bonds form when one atom gives up one or more electrons to another atom. These bonds can form between a pair of atoms or between molecules and are the type of bond found in salts.

Answer:
Ionic bond is the bond formed between oppositely charged ions. These can be defined as the electrostactic attractions between oppositely charged ions (ions are atoms that have either gained or lost electrons).
Explanation:
Ionic bonds are formed between ions of opposite charges. These bonds are the electrostatic forces between the oppositely charged ions. The ionic bonds are formed when the valence electrons of one atom is transferred to another atom.
The ionic bonds are also known as electrovalent bonds and the compounds that result from ionic bonds are know as ionic or electrovalent compounds.
Examples of ionic compounds include: Sodium chloride (NaCl)
