what is the difference between a redox reaction and an ionic bond? I am new into chemistry... 
I'd like to know what the difference is between an ionic bond: which involves a bond with an electron transfert, and a redox reaction; which seems to be exactly the same to me.

Thanks
An ionic bond is formed by electrostatic attraction of electrons between one atom and the other whereas in redox reactions the electrons are transferred from one atom to the other. Hope this helps.
