When a retirement plan is fully funded, it's the result either of money you've contributed or of cash deposited by your employer. A fully funded retirement plan is one in which the participants -- either the plan member or plan sponsor -- are maximizing the available resources to adequately prepare for your retirement.
Types of Compounds. Ionic compounds are compounds composed of ions, charged particles that form when an atom (or group of atoms, in the case of polyatomic ions) gains or loses electrons. 1  A cation is a positively charged ion. 2  An anion is a negatively charged ion.olyatomic Ions. Polyatomic ions are ions that are composed of two or more atoms that are linked by covalent bonds, but that still have a net deficiency or surplus of electrons, resulting in an overall charge on the group. A metal plus a polyatomic ion yields an ionic compound.
Structure of Ionic Compounds. Ionic compounds are special because they form lattice or crystalline structures. This formation comes from the ionic bonds that hold the ions together in the compound. Ionic bonds are very strong, which makes them difficult to break apart.
