Is when a ionic compounds form the ions come together in a way that balances out the charges on the ions true?

It is true that compounds formed from ions will form in such a way that the charges balance out and the compound has not net charge. An example might be aluminum with a plus 3 charge (Al^3+) combining with a chloride ion with a minus 1 charge (Cl^1-) to make aluminum chloride, where there will be 1 Al^3= and 3 Cl^1- to make AlCl3 (no net charge).

∙ 15y agoTrue - ionic compounds are stable because the charge on the metal ion cancels out the overall charge of the non-metal ion/s.

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.
Do binary ionic compounds have bonds that share two valence electrons?
No. Ionic compounds are held together by ionic bonds.
Why are ionic compounds so brittle?
Ionic compound are brittle because if a force is added to the lattice the layer of ions repel causing the ionic lattice to split and to shatter also called repulsion the opposite charges are lined together. Electrostatic force attraction keeps the ionic compound together.
What are ions and what are the properties of ionic compounds?
When an atom loses an electron, it loses a negative charge and becomes a positive ion. When an atom gains an electron, it gains a negative charge and becomes a negative ion. Ionic bonds form as a result of the attraction between positive and negative ions. When ionic compounds form, the ions come together in a way that balances out the charges on the ions. The chemical formula for the compound reflects this balance. For an ionic compound, the name of the positive ion comes first, followed by the name of the negative ion. In general, ionic compounds are hard, brittle crystals that have high melting points. When dissolved in water or melted, they conduct electricity.
Do ionic or covalent hold two compounds together?
No, they do not hold two compounds together. The forces that hold compounds together are intermolecular forces. Ionic and covalent bonds are intramolecular forces, and they hold the atoms of the molecule or formula unit together.

When ionic compounds form the ions come together in a way that balance out the charges on the ions?
Yes.
Are ionic compounds positivly charged?
no, as ionic compounds contain equal amounts of negative and positive charges and are neutral.
Do binary ionic compounds have bonds that share two valence electrons?
No. Ionic compounds are held together by ionic bonds.
What properties charaterize ionic compounds?
Ionic bonds are very weak, and ionic compounds are very weakly held together chemically.

No, they do not hold two compounds together. The forces that hold compounds together are intermolecular forces. Ionic and covalent bonds are intramolecular forces, and they hold the atoms of the molecule or formula unit together.
Do all ionic compounds have the same ratio of ions?
No. The ratio depends on the charges of the ions.
What do you call a compound that is held together by an ionic bond?
most ionic compounds are salt
What is the formula of the ionic compounds formed from aluminum and Lithium?
Aluminum and lithium are both metals and will not form any ionic compounds together.
