Hm, I'm not sure there's such thing as an "ionically bonded species", and the "electrostatic froce" (force?) that holds atoms together is believed to be their charge. Protons(+) and neutrons(0) that lay in the nucleous of the atom have a total positive charge, and the electrons(-) that orbit the nucleous have a negative, and orbit said nucleous in a spherical orbit. Your question asks what the force is between, and the answer is a lot of space. 99% of all matter is the space inbetween it. Look at outer space, for example, then maybe you could better understand the forces of molecules.
