Question

What are ionic compounds? List otwo properties these compounds.

Answer 1

Ionic Compounds

Each atom is unique because it is made of a specific number of protons, neutrons, and electrons. Usually, the number of protons and electrons is the same for an atom. 

Atoms that gain electrons and therefore have a net negative charge are known as anions. Conversely, atoms that lose electrons and therefore have a net positive charge are called cations. The opposite negative and positive charges of the ions hold together in ionic bonds, forming ionic compounds.

The opposite negative and positive charges of the ions hold together in ionic bonds, forming ionic compounds,like: compounds made of ions. The loss or gain from one atom matches the loss or gain of the other.

Potassium oxide, or K2O, is example of an ionic compound. 
Sodium and chlorine ions come together to form sodium chloride, or NaCl.
