Ionic Compounds

Ionic compounds are chemical compounds composed of ions held together by ionic bonds. These compounds form when atoms transfer electrons, producing positively charged ions (cations) and negatively charged ions (anions). The attraction between these opposite charges holds the ions...

Ionic compounds are chemical compounds formed when atoms transfer electrons, creating charged particles called ions.

These compounds form between metals and nonmetals.

For example, calcium chloride is an ionic compound where calcium gives away two electrons to two chloride atoms.

Ionic compounds have strong ionic bonds, forming...
