The positive ions and negative ions attract each other. This attractive force is an ionic bond. Each positive ion balances the charge of one negative ion so overall, the compound is electrically neutral.
P.S. This is from my textbook. Good luck. :)

How do ions form electrically neutral compounds-?
When ions come together, they do so in a way that balances out the charges on the ions.
How can an ionic compound made up of charged particles can be electrically neutral?
Ionic compounds countain both positive and negative ions (they attract to form bonds) Due to this they will balance and become electrically netural
Do ionic compounds form positively charged ions?
They are composed of positive and negative ions.
What is the charge of an ionic conpund?
Ionic compounds are electrically neutral, neither positive nor negative, due to presence of both positive and negative ions which cancel out.
How do ionic compounds form crystals?
When positive ions and negative ions are nearby they are attracted and pair up building an Ionic Crystal.
What has positive ions and can form ionic compounds?
Metals form positive ions and form ionic compounds with negative ions.
Do ions form electrically negative compounds only true or false?
No. Ions of opposite charges come together to form electrically neutral compounds. A compound cannot carry an electric charge.
How do ions form electrically neutral compounds-?
When ions come together, they do so in a way that balances out the charges on the ions.
Are ionic compounds normally electrically charged?
No. No compound is electrically charged. An ionic compounds contains both positive and negative ions. The ratios between the numbers of these ions is always such that they balance out to zero net charge.
How can an ionic compound made up of charged particles can be electrically neutral?
Ionic compounds countain both positive and negative ions (they attract to form bonds) Due to this they will balance and become electrically netural
Are cations positive ions that are nonmetals?
Cations are electrically positive ions
Do ionic compounds form positively charged ions?
They are composed of positive and negative ions.
What is the charge of an ionic conpund?
Ionic compounds are electrically neutral, neither positive nor negative, due to presence of both positive and negative ions which cancel out.
When ions having a positive charge form Bond with ions having a negative charge the charge on the resulting compounds is?
false
When ions having a positive charge form bonds with ions having a negative charge the charge on the resulting compound is .?
The resulting compound would be electrically neutral.
When ions having a positive charge form bonds with ions having a negative charge the charge on the resulting compound is.?
The resulting compound would be electrically neutral.
How do ionic compounds form crystals?
