What bond occurs when opposite charges combine (the forming of two ions)?

Second question is, What bond is formed when opposite charges come together? I am confused between the two questions being so similar, what is the answer to both of them? I think the second question is an ionic bond, is the first question the same answer?

any time you have ions with opposite charges forming a molecule, it's by an ionic bond, you're right. A covalent bond involves the sharing of electron(s). Different thing altogether.
