What are the examples of common ionic compounds?
Posted February 14, 2024

Answer

Ionic compounds are formed when ions with opposite charges, typically from a metal and a nonmetal, are attracted to each other, creating an ionic bond. Some examples of common ionic compounds include: 

  • potassium chloride (KCl)
  • sodium chloride (NaCl)
  • sodium fluoride (NaF)
  • calcium carbonate (CaCO3)
