If they're different please explain the difference.
Also another question:
What exactly is crystal lattice, and what is lattice energy? Please explain in your own words.
Thanks

ionic bond is the bonding that exists in ionic compounds
some ionic compounds, however, contain covalent groups, such as ammonium sulfate, an ionic compound that contains the ammonium and sulfate covalent groups
crystal lattice is the special arrangement in which atoms, most commonly ionic compounds, are arranged. Lattice energy is the internal energy of a lattice structure, just like bond enthalpy

If ionic bond is present in a compound,then it is called as a ionic compound
for example K4Fe(CN)6.When it dissociates it forms K+ and Fe(CN)6-

Crystal lattice is nothing but arrangement of atoms in a systematic way.Every molecule or atom contains its structure.That is depend on the arrangement of atoms.

Lattice energy is nothing but energy required to separate or dissociate its ions.For example NaCl,It is easily dissociates into Na+and Cl-,But for Na2so4 it requires more energy to dissociate two sodium atoms
