Ok, the ionic bonding makes sense to me now, thanks!  So really all I have left to understand is the difference between ion-dipole and dipole-dipole.  After reading on the internet.  It would appear that this "bonds formed" would be ion-dipole interaction between the polar water molecules and the ions.  When would I need dipole-dipole interactions?

If the attraction happens between polar molecules, then there would be dipole-dipole interactions.
