1. An ionic bond is a type of linkage formed from the electrostatic attraction between oppositely charged ions in a chemical compound.
2. Such a bond forms when the valence electrons of one atoms are transferred permanently to another atom.
3. An ionic compound is a neutral compound composed of positively and negatively charged ions.

ADDRESS the following by creating posts with media, with the question as the title of the post.

1. What types of ions are involved in an ionic bond? I'm looking for charge and kind.

2. What kinds of chemical and physical properties do ionic bonds cause?

3. Provide an example of an ionic compound, identifying the ions involved and specifying a common use.

1. Cations and Anions
2.  They can cause them to dissolve in water
3.In order to achieve noble gas configurations, the magnesium atom needs to lose its two valence electrons, while the bromine atom, which has 7 valence electrons, requires one additional electron to fill its outer shell. Therefore, for the resulting compound to be neutral, two bromine anions must combine with one magnesium cation to form magnesium bromide (MgBr2). In addition, though any ratio of 2 bromine atoms to 1 magnesium atom will satisfy the two requirements above, the formula for ionic compounds is typically presented as the empirical formula, or the simplest whole-number ratio of atoms with positive integers.
