An Ionic Compound is a compound that is formed when electrons exchange atoms.
For example, Chlorine Gas will react with Sodium to create Sodium Chloride (NaCl, more commonly know as table salt).
Chlorine gains an electron from sodium. The chlorine atom (now an ion) is then negatively charge (an anion) and the sodium ion is positively charge (cation). Different charges attract, so that's what holds them together.

What is different about the solubility of a covalently bonded compound and an ionic compound?
An ionic compound is more soluble than a covalently bonded compound.
Is calcium oxide an ionic bonded compound?
Calcium oxide is an ionic compound.
What is a substance of 2 atoms bonded called?
If they are covalently bonded, it would be a molecule. If they are bonded by an ionic bond, they form an ionic compound.
Is KF an ionic bond?
The compound KF is ionically bonded.
Is calcium oxide a convalenty bonded chemical?
No, it is an ionic compound.
When oxygen is bonded to a metal it forms a n compound when it is bonded to a nonmetal it forms a n compound?
When oxygen is bonded to a metal, it forms an oxide compound. When oxygen is bonded to a nonmetal, it forms an oxide compound as well. Oxygen can form both ionic and covalent bonds with different elements depending on their electronegativity.
Is methane a ionic compound?
Methane is not a ionic compound.
Is c16h32o2 ionic?
No, c16h32o2 is not an ionic compound. It is a molecular compound composed of carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen atoms covalently bonded together.
Is NO molecular of ionic?
NO is a molecular compound, not an ionic compound. It is made up of individual atoms of nitrogen and oxygen that are covalently bonded together.
What is the generic term for a substance that is bonded ionically?
salt
Is H2O an ionic compound?
No, H2O (water) is not an ionic compound. It is a covalent compound made up of two hydrogen atoms and one oxygen atom bonded together.
Is CaCl2 ionic or compound?
CaCl2 is an ionic compound. It is composed of a metal (calcium) and a non-metal (chlorine) bonded together through ionic bonding, forming a crystal lattice structure.
