When ionic bonds form compounds each atom has a stable octet and is electrically what?

Charged. For example sodium metal reacts with chlorine to produce sodium chloride. This reaction produces two atoms with an octet, sodium which has lost one electron and chlorine which has gained one. The sodium atom is now positively charged, and is called a sodium ion and the chlorine negatively charged and is called a chloride ion.

Are radicals electrically neutral?
Radicals have an electrical charge, hence why they do ionic bonds to form ionic compounds.
How is convalent compound different from an ionic compound?
Covalent bonds are different from ionic bonds because ionic bonds involve the sharing of electrons. Ionic bonds are also electrically conductive.
Is Ionic compounds are electrically neutral?
yes
Do binary ionic compounds have bonds that share two valence electrons?
No. Ionic compounds are held together by ionic bonds.
How are molecular compounds different from an ionic compound?
In molecular compounds, atoms are joined by covalent bonds, while in ionic compounds, they are joined by ionic bonds.

A crystalline solid that is electrically neutral MOST likely has bonds?
Ionic bonds. All chemical compounds are electrically neutral, in that they do not posess an overall electrstaic charge. Crystalline solids could be either ionic or covalent. The most likely ones to be encountered in a laboratory or in the home are ionic solids. Most ionic compounds are crystalline solids at normal temperature. Ionic solids are generally the union of a metal and a non-metal. Examples include salt (sodium chloride), fluorite (calcium fluoride), and pyrite (iron sulfide). Ionic compounds are electrically neutral because the charges of their ions cancel out. So the answer is ionic bonds.

How many ionic bonds does carbon form in its compounds?
Carbon normally forms four covalent bonds in its compounds, not ionic bonds.
What is the difference between and ionic and covalent bond?
Compounds with covalent bonds form molecules. Compounds with ionic bonds form ionic lattices.
Are organic compounds formed with ionic bonds?
Organic compounds tend NOT to be ionic - there are exceptions. Organic Chemistry is defined as the Chemistry of Compounds of Carbon. Ionic forces tend to intercede when we add Oxygen.
Do ionic bonds create ionic compounds?
yes
Is concrete made of ionic compounds or covalent compounds?
Concrete is made of covalent compounds with strong bonds. Non-metals and metals form ionic compounds only.
