Answer:
Ionic compounds contain ions and are held together by the attractive forces among the oppositely charged ions
Explanation:
Common salt (sodium chloride) is one of the best-known ionic compounds. Molecular compounds contain discrete molecules, which are held together by sharing electrons (covalent bonding).
It could pass by a large enough object that has enough gravity to pull the object into its orbit and the object would stay in orbit because it has centripetal force.
