Compounds composed of ions held together by electrostatic forces are called ionic compounds & are made up of positively charged ions (cations) & negetively charged ions(Anions). Examples Sodium chloride, Magnesium oxide.

Properties of ionic compounds

1.They are solid & hard at room temperature due to strong electrostatic forces between the positive & negetive ions.

2. They have high melting & boiling point as considerable amount of energy is required to break the strong inter-ionic attractive forces.

3.They conduct electricity in molten condition because in molten state the electrostatic forces of attraction between oppositely charged ions are overcome by heat.

4.They are soluble in water.
