NaCl, table salt is neutral as an compound though it is made of.
the cation,
Na +
and the anion,
Cl -
But put NaCl in solution and....
Na +
and
Cl -
are now disassociated and charged ions and anything but neutral.
So, in solution charged atoms, usually ( some ionic compounds are not that soluble ) and as a crystal structure, table salt, neutral.

One should note that the compound they create, NaCl, is neutral.

What is the difference in strength between atoms with ionic bonds and atoms with covalent bonds?
ionic bonds have strong bonds and molecular bonds have very strong bonds.
How are Ionic bonds are formed between atoms that have large differences in?
Ionic bonds are formed between atoms with large differences in electronegativity.
What is a group of atoms united by ionic bonds?
Ionic solids
Why there are no molecules in ionic compound?
Ionic compounds contain ions, there are no neutral molecules. These are often charged atoms as in NaCl but may be polyatomic ions such as NH4+ which contains covalent bonds
Are ionic bonds non polar?
No. Ionic bonds are ionic, in which the difference of electronegativities between the atoms forming the bond are greater than 1.7. Nonpolar bonds are covalent bonds in which the difference of electronegativities of the atoms forming the bond is less than 0.5.

What kind of bonds hold together atoms in a molecule?
The bonds are ionic or covalent.

What bonds are formed when atoms exchanged electrons?
ionic bonds!
What bonds do atoms make?
metallic, ionic, and covalent bonds
What type of bonds do charged atoms form?
Ionic bonds.
What holds the atoms molecule together?
Bonds hold atoms together. There are hydrogen bonds, ionic bonds, and covalent bonds.
A bond where atoms are lent or and borrowed?
A bond where atoms are lent or and borrowed is called an ionic bond.
Are ionic bonds non polar?
No. Ionic bonds are ionic, in which the difference of electronegativities between the atoms forming the bond are greater than 1.7. Nonpolar bonds are covalent bonds in which the difference of electronegativities of the atoms forming the bond is less than 0.5.
When atoms form chemical bonds with other atoms the atoms have joined together chemically?
Yes. Chemical bonds include covalent bonds and ionic bonds.
