Sodium chloride is an ionic compound ( a compound between a metal and a non-metal) It is also a binary compound as it contains two elements. So it can be described as an ionic compound or more precisely as a binary ionic compound.
A binary compound is one that contains exactly two elements. Binary compounds may be ionic or covalent.

What is the difference between a binary ionic compound and a teranry ionic compound?
No. Not all binary compounds are ionic and not all ionic compounds are binary. An ionic compound is a compound formed by the exchange rather than the sharing of electrons. A binary compound is any compound of exactly 2 elements. Examples: Sodium chloride (NaCl, compound sodium and chlorine) is both binary and ionic. Potassium hydroxide (KOH, compound of potassium, hydrogen, and oxygen) is ionic but not binary. Water (H2O, compound of hydrogen and oxygen) is binary, but covalent, not ionic.
