Explanation:
An ionic compound is a compound composed of ions held together by electrostatic forces, the forces which hold them together are called as ionic bonds or electrovalent bonds. The compound is neutral overall, but consists of positively charged ions called cations and negatively charged ions called anions.
Metals tend to lose electrons, so they have a net positive charge and become cation. Non metals tend to gain electrons, creating a net negative charge and become anions.
Examples : NaCl , NaOH, NaHCO3, MgSO4
