Answer:
Ionic bond is formed by the opposite ions attraction between the 2 atoms in an ionically bonded compound. The two ions i.e. Cation and Anions are formed by oxidation and reduction reactions respectively. General Ionic formula is as follow,
Mⁿ⁺ + Nⁿ⁻ → MN
where;
Mⁿ⁺ = Cation
Nⁿ⁻ = Anion
MN = Salt
Explanation:
Ionic bond is the electrostatic forces of attraction between positively charged cations and negatively charged Anions. These forces are very stronger resulting in increasing several physical properties of Ionic compounds like melting point and boiling point e.t.c.
Example:
Sodium Chloride:
NaCl is formed by Na⁺ cation and Cl⁻ anion as follow,
Oxidation of Na;
2 Na → 2 Na⁺ + 2 e⁻
Reduction of Cl₂;
Cl₂ + 2 e⁻ → 2 Cl⁻
Crystal Lattice formation is as follow,
Na⁺ + Cl⁻ → NaCl

Answer:
CO₃²⁻(aq) + 2H⁺(aq) → CO₂ (g) + H₂O (l)
Explanation:
The balanced reaction between Na2CO3 and HCl is given as;
Na₂CO₃ (aq) + 2 HCl (aq) → 2 NaCl (aq) + CO₂ (g) + H₂O (l)
The next step is o express the species as ions.
The complete ionic equation for the above reaction would be;
2Na⁺(aq) + CO₃²⁻(aq) + 2H⁺(aq) + 2Cl⁻(aq) → Na⁺(aq) + Cl⁻(aq) + CO₂ (g) + H₂O (l)
The next step is to cancel out the spectator ion ions; that is the ions that appear in both the reactant and product side unchanged.
The spectator ions are; Na⁺ and Cl⁻
The net ionic equation is given as;
CO₃²⁻(aq) + 2H⁺(aq) → CO₂ (g) + H₂O (l)
