Question

Why is the formation of ionic compounds is exothermic?

Answer 1

here is your answer

The quick answer is that the resultingionic compound is more stable than the ions that formed it. The extra energy from the ions is released as heat when ionic bonds form. When more heat is released from a reaction than is needed for it to happen, the reaction is exothermic.
