Solution
Compounds that possess ionic bonding are referred to as ionic compounds. They are created through the transport of electrons between atoms. Ionic compounds consist of cations, which are positively charged ions, and anions, which are negatively charged ions. Ionic chemicals are composed of ions rather than molecules.
Sodium chloride (NaCl) is an ionic compound, where sodium transfers one electron to a chlorine atom.
