Best Answer

An ionic compound consists of 2 or more elements that stick together (in a regular stacked pattern called a 'lattice') because one or more elements has a negative charge, and the other kind of element or elements have a positive charge. Opposites attract, just like magnets.

Substances that are bonded together by ionic attraction are often said to be, "Salts".

NaCl, or sodium chloride, is an example of an ionic compound, and is called table salt. Another example is Calcium Chloride, or de-icing salt.

Notice that in each case, the first element listed is a metal - this is usually the case with ionic compounds.
