Do ionic bonds occur between metal and non-metal ions, non-metal and non-metal ions, or metal and metal ions?

Ionic bonds occur between anions and cations. And cations may be metallic, i.e., $M^(2+)$, or they may be non-metallic, i.e. ammonium salts, $NH_4^+$. And anions, while typically non-metallic, i.e. $X^-$ $"(X = F, Cl, Br)"$, may be metallic, i.e. $Cr_2O_7^(2-)$, or $MnO_4^-$, or at least containing a metal centre. Confused yet?

The point is that an ionic bond is an electrostatic bond formed between anion and cation, whatever the source.

Are ionic bonds the strongest type of bonds?

TEND to have high melting and boiling points...why? Because ionic ARE NON-MOLECULAR...i.e. an ionic compound consists of an infinite array of positive and negative ions that are held together...

Why are ionic bonds stronger than covalent bonds?

Ionic bonds are stronger than covalent bonds due to following reasons - Ionic bonds result from the mutual attraction between oppositely charged ions while a Covalent Bond is a...

Do ionic bonds occur between metal and non-metal ions?

The typical salt is a combination of metal and non-metal ions, i.e. $NaCl, NaF, CaI_2$ etc. Salts of more complex ions can be isolated, i.e. $K^+""[MnO_4]^(-)$, $K_2^(+)[Cr_2O_7]^(2-)$, $Na_2^(+)[CrO_4]^(2-)$. And of...

Can I predict if a compound has ionic bonds or covalent bonds? If so, how?

Bonds formed between non-metals are generally covalent bonds. Ionic bonds can ONLY be formed with a cation and an anion. Generally, these ions come from a metal (cation) and...

Why are ionic bonds and covalent bonds different?

Well, the one is a non-directional bond that derives from the interaction of like and unlike charged particles. And t'other is a strongly directional bond that results from the sharing...

How do ionic bonds differ from covalent bonds?

Chemical bonds are formed by the sharing of electron densities between two atoms. The electron density of the atoms is held between the two atoms and attracted to the positive...

The electronegativity is 2.1 for H and 1.8 for Si. Based on these electronegativities, $SiH_4$ would be expected ?A) be ionic and contain H+ ions (B) be ionic and contain H- ions (C) have polar covalent bonds with a partial negative charges on the H atoms

The answer is (C) have polar covalent bonds with a partial negative charge on the hydrogen atoms. If you only go by the options given, the answer will be obvious...

How are these ordered from strongest to weakest: hydrogen bonds,covalent bonds, ionic bonds, and van der waals interactions?

This is the conventional order. Ionic bonds are of course non-molecular interactions.

Are network covalent bonds STRONGER than ionic bonds?

Both network covalent solids, and ionic solids ARE non-molecular, and are therefore expected to have elevated melting points with respect to molecular species. Let's compare the melting points of $NaCl$...

Which are stronger bonds, ionic bonds or intermolecular forces? Which have higher melting points, ionic compounds or molecular compounds?

Ionic compounds are inherently non-molecular. Each cation is electrostatically ATTRACTED to EVERY other anion in the crystal. Of course, each cation is electrostatically REPELLED by EVERY other cation in the...
