an Ionic compound is a chemical compound composed of ions held together by electrostatic forces termed as iconic bonding
Ionic Compounds have high boiling and melting points as they're very strong and require a lot of energy to break.
The electrostatic forces of attraction between oppositely charged ions lead to the formation of ions. Ionic compounds form crystals.
