Explanation:
Ionic bonds are defined as the bonds which are formed by the complete transfer of electrons from one atom to another atom. The compounds having ionic bonds are known as ionic compounds.
In this bond formation, the atom loosing its electrons is known as electropositive atom and the atom gaining electrons is known as electronegative atom.
In these compounds, oppositely charged ions are attracted towards each other to form a compound.
For Example: KCl is an ionic compound which is formed with the combination of [tex]K^+\text{ and }Cl^-[/tex] ions.
