Answer:
an ionic compound is a chemical compound composed of ions held together by electrostatic forces termed ionic bonding. The compound is neutral overall, but consists of positively charged ions called cations and negatively charged ions called anions.

Explanation:
Ionic compounds include salts, oxides, hydroxides, sulfides, and the majority of inorganic compounds. Ionic solids are held together by the electrostatic attraction between the positive and negative ions. For example, the sodium ions attract chloride ions and the chloride ion attracts sodium ions.the energy is conserved, so the energy that you loose is gained by the system(two magnets) and therefore, separating the two magnets require energy similar to breaking bonds.
example:
sodium chloride: NaCl, with Na+ and Cl- ions.
magnesium oxide: MgO, with Mg2+ and O2- ions.
