A compound contains two or
more elements chemically
combined together. It has a
specific formula.
Ionic compound is formed when the
metal transfers its outer shell electron to
the non- metal. The metal forms a
positive ion while the non- metal forms a
negative ion. Both ions formed have
complete outer shell of electrons.
