What are quaternary ammonium compounds?

Quaternary ammonium compounds are partly ionic compounds that contain in each molecule one nitrogen atom covalently bonded to four distinct carbon atoms. This bonding is only possible as part of a polyatomic cation with a single positive charge, and the complete compound therefore requires an anion to achieve electrical neutrality.
