An ionic bond is the bonding between two elements of different charges and occurs via electron transfer. Generally (remember there are some rare exceptions) this bond occurs between metals and nonmetals. Here is the link to a diagram on Wikipedia which identifies which elements are metal, nonmetal, or metalloids: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Periodic_table_(metals_and_non-metals)
Some common examples compounds with ionic bonds are: Sodium chloride (NaCl), potassium iodide (KI), calcium sulfide (CaS), cesium bromide (CsBr), and magnesium oxide (MgO). Note that all of these are compounds with a metal and a nonmetal.
What else can I help you with?
Is PO4 an ionic compound?
PO4 is a radical, not a compound, and it has a covalent bond, not an ionic bond.
Is MgCl2 a polar covalent bond a covalent bond or an ionic bond?
MgCl2 is an ionic compound. there is a large difference in electronegativity between Mg and Cl.
What is the bond type of an ionic compound?
An ionic compound is formed through the transfer of electrons from one atom to another, resulting in the attraction between oppositely charged ions. This type of bond is known as an ionic bond.
What is a compound containing an ionic bond?
Table salt (sodium chloride) is a common example of a compound containing an ionic bond. Sodium, a metal, donates an electron to chlorine, a nonmetal, forming an ionic bond between them.
Is K2O a ionic bond or a covalent bond?
K2O forms an ionic bond. In the compound, potassium (K) donates an electron to oxygen (O) to form K+ and O2- ions, resulting in the attraction between the positively and negatively charged ions that makes up the ionic bond.
Is ionic compound and ionic bond the same?
No.
What is the bond for sodium nitrate?
This is a ionic compound. So there is a ionic bond.
Is sodium hydroxide a ionic bond or covalent?
Sodium hydroxide has ionic bonds. A compound never is any kind of bond.

Yes.
Is Li-Br covalent or ionic compound?
This bond is ionic.
What keep the ions in an ionic compound?
This is called ionic bond.
Sodium and chlorine bond to form sodium chloride Which type of compound is sodium chloride?
It is an ionic compound. The bond between sodium and Chlorine is an ionic bond.
Is PO4 an ionic compound?
PO4 is a radical, not a compound, and it has a covalent bond, not an ionic bond.
Is MgCl2 a polar covalent bond a covalent bond or an ionic bond?
MgCl2 is an ionic compound. there is a large difference in electronegativity between Mg and Cl.
What is the bond type of an ionic compound?
An ionic compound is formed through the transfer of electrons from one atom to another, resulting in the attraction between oppositely charged ions. This type of bond is known as an ionic bond.
Compounds that have ionic bonds are called?
This is an ionic compound, for example a salt as potassium chloride.
What is the ionic bond Magnesium and Iodine?
Magnesium and iodine react to form the ionic compound magnesium iodide - MgI2.
