Ionic compound is formed by negative and positive ions, these ions form ionic bond
Explanation:
Sodium has 1 electron in its outermost shell, and chlorine has 7 electrons. It is easiest for sodium to lose its electron and form a +1 ion, and for chlorine to gain an electron, forming a -1 ion.
<em>Now ionic bonds areIons are formed by atoms that have non-full outermost electron shells in order to become more like the noble gases in Group 8 of the Periodic Table,</em>
<em>Now ionic bonds areIons are formed by atoms that have non-full outermost electron shells in order to become more like the noble gases in Group 8 of the Periodic Table,Some atoms add electrons to get a full shell, thus becoming a negative ion. Other atoms subtract electrons from their outermost shell, leaving a full </em><em>shell and an overall positive charge..</em>
<em>shell and an overall positive charge..therefore it is an</em> ionic bond
