For an ionic compound, the name of the positive ion comes first, followed by the name of the negative ion.
When an atom loses an electron, it loses a negative charge and becomes a positive ion. When an atom gains an electron, it gains a negative charge and becomes a negative ion. Ionic bonds form as a result of the attraction between positive and negative ions. When ionic compounds form, the ions come together in a way that balances out the charges on the ions. The chemical formula for the compound reflects this balance. For an ionic compound, the name of the positive ion comes first, followed by the name of the negative ion. In general, ionic compounds are hard, brittle crystals that have high melting points. When dissolved in water or melted, they conduct electricity.

When a positive ion and a negative ion come close enough, they would form an ionic bond due to electrostatic attractions.
Yes, table salt is an example of an ionic compound between a sodium ion and chloride ion. The sodium ion has a positive charge while the cholride ion has a negative charge. These two ions come together to make table salt.

The total positive charge of an ionic compound equally balances the total negative charge; therefore, the ionic compound is electrically neutral.

Positive and negative ions are in ionic bond. They come from metals and non-metals

No such substance as 'sodium chlorine'. I think you mean 'sodium chloride'. I which case it is an ionic compound. Separately , sodium(metal) is an element and chlorine(gas) is an element. They both appear in the Periodic Table. 'Mixture', does not come into question.
since a positively charged ion will be attracted to a negatively charged ion, when they come together they form a compound with different characteristics than the elements the ions came from. take table salt for example. it's an ionic compound. NaCl = Sodium chloride is its real name and they come together since a sodium atom is positively charged and a chlorine atom is negatively charged. when they come together they form NaCl.

Because ionic compounds do not exist as single molecules. An ionic compound will form a giant ionic lattice, where the oppositely charged ions sit so they are touching only ions of opposing charge. This cannot be viewed as single molecules of the compound within it.
