Question:
What are ionic compounds?
Answer:
Compounds which are made up of ions (cation + anion) are called ionic compound. In ionic compounds (e.g. NaCl), the positively charged ions (cations, e.g. Na1+) and negatively charged ions (anions, e.g. Cl1-) combine together due to strong forces of attraction between them.
