highly electropositive elements react with highly electronegative elements to form ionic compounds.
The former forms cations and the latter forms anions and the force of attraction between the positively charged cation and the negatively charged anion is the ionic bond.

Do rocks have elements?
Yes but different sorts in different rocks and in the form of compounds as well as elements.
Do carbon react with chlorine to form an ionic compound?
When carbon reacts with chlorine, the result is a covalent compound, specifically, carbon tetrachloride. And of course, all sorts of organic compounds can be chlorinated by partial or complete replacement of hydrogen atoms by chlorine. But the compound will never be ionic.
Can every element in the periodic table be used to make compounds?
No, the elements helium and neon have no known nor likely compounds with any degree of stability at all. Many of the artificial elements cannot in practice be used to make compounds, because they live for too short a time before their radioactive decay to another element. We do know in theory what sorts of compounds they might make, and many of their likely properties.
Why isn't wood an element?
Wood isn't an element because it contains different types of atoms. It is a substance made of all sorts of various elements, such as carbon, hydrogen, oxygen and nitrogen. These elements form compounds, which are then built up to make materials such as wood.
What did the periodic table do?
it sorts out all the different scientific elements :)
Do noble gases react with anything?
Noble gases are generally inert, but noble gases down the group like xenon will react with highly electronegative elements like fluorine or oxygen to form compounds like XeF4, XeF6, XeOF2 etc.
What are the chemicals in a glow stick?
could be all sorts, but the basics are luminol and sodium hydroxide When they react, light is given out.
What are properties of elements compounds and mixtures?
Here are some characteristics of compounds:Compounds are made up of 2 or more elements and they are all chemically bonded.The properties of a compound are different from the elements that make it up.Compounds can be broken back into elements by chemical reaction, exposure to light, etc.Compounds can be separated only chemically, not by physical meansThe mass of the compound is determined by the mass of the elements that make it up.When compounds are formed heat and light is given out or absorbed.Compounds have definite proportions.
What ionic compound will dissolve in water to release exactly three ions?
Not quite sure what the questioner is aiming at. Group 2 halides , such as MgCl2 dissolve to give 3 ions. Compounds such as alum, KAl(SO4)2.12H2O which dissolves to give K+, Al3+, SO42- dissolve to give 3 different sorts of ions.
What was the particle theory of Robert Boyle?
He proposed that elements are basically composed of 'corpuscles' of various sorts and sizes capable of organising themselves into groups and that each group constitutes a chemical substance. He clearly distinguished between mixtures and compounds and showed that a compound can have very different properties from those of its constituents.
How much sulfur is in the human body?
Sulfur bonds with all sorts of other chemicals, forming various compounds. In the body, chemical reactions take place where those compounds get broken down, thus releasing sulfur as a free element.
Is silver nitrate a non-binary ionic?
Silver nitrate is AgNO3 so it is not a binary compound as it contains three elemnts. The term binary ionic is unusual - chemists normally say a binary compound, binary ionic may be taken to mean just two sorts of ions in which case it would be classified as a binary ionic as ther are two ions Ag+ and NO3-
