Example
salts are the examples of ionic bond .
NaCl, KCl ,CaCl2, MgCl2 etc
Properties of ionic compounds
The most important and common properties of ionic compounds are as follows
They have definite shape and crystalline solid structure
They are solid at room temperature
Their melting point is very high
They conduct electricity only in molten and liquid forms
They are soluble in water
