Mad up of positively charge cations and negatively charged anions.
Compounds with both ionic and covalent bonds contain polyatomic ions.
An equation showing all dissolved compounds as ions
ionic compounds are made up of elements that form ions. It could be either cation or anion
Ionic compounds generally dissolve in water dissociating to give ions that are free to move and conduct electricity. Molten ionic compounds also have free ions and conduct electricity. Ionic compounds generally do not conduct electricity in the solid form.
Ionic bonds are electrostatic bonds between ions. Most of this type of compounds are made out of a metallic element and a non metallic element. The solutions of ionic compounds conduct electricity.
Compounds with both ionic and covalent bonds contain polyatomic ions.
In ionic compounds the ions are held in place in a lattice structure by ionic bonds. This is a type of chemical bond caused by the electromagnetic attraction of two oppositely charged ions.

Sodium chloride or NaCl is a salt that is an example of an ionic compound. Ionic compounds are compounds that exhibit ionic bonding between sodium ions called cations and chloride ions called anions.
The general rule for solvation is like dissolves like. Water is a very polar molecule. Thus, water best dissolves polar substances, including ionic and polar covalent substances.
Ionic bonds are formed between metallic and non-metallic elements. The electrostatic attractions between the oppositely charged ions forms a lattice structure. Ionic compounds share similar properties, such as not conducting electricity while solid. But good electrical conductivity in aqueous solution or a liquid state.
Silicon does not form ionic compounds containing Si cations. It is after all a non-metal. There are some "odd" compounds called silicides binary compounds of metals with silicon but generally these are not ionic, only those with the more reactive metals have ionic nature, silicon forming cluster anions (Zintl compounds) such as Si44- (isoelectronic with P4 molecule)
Oppositely charged ions form ionic bonds.
