Ionic compounds are those that are formed between a positively charged ion and a negatively charged ion. An example is common salt which is Sodium Chloride.

an atom with one or more electrons stripped away is a positive ion. an ionic compound is two or more atoms that that are bound but share one or more electrons in the bound. ionic bonds are weaker than normal compound bonds because the attraction is based on positive and negative charges of the atoms that are negatively charged or positivly charged. Salt is an excallent example.

An ionic compound is formed when a metal and a non-metal react with the transfer of electrons from the metal to the non-metal.

The previous answers were answered by morons. It is a compound that has an uneven sharing of electrons...er, to say very uneven.

when a metal and a nonmetal bond.
the metal gives up or loses electrons to a nonmetal, thus both become ions. Metal being + and nonmetal being -.
+ and - are highly attracted to each other therefore a very strong bond giving them higher melting points etc.
