In chemistry, an ionic compound is a chemical compound in which ions are held together in a structure by electrostatic forces termed ionic bonds.The positively charged ions are called cations and the negatively charged ions are called anions.onic compounds without the acidic hydrogen ion (H +), or the basic ions hydroxide (OH â) or oxide (O 2â), are also known as salts and can be formed by acid-base reactions. Ionic compounds containing hydrogen ions are classified as acids and compounds containing hydroxide or oxide ions are classified as bases.
1 The Definition of Ionic Compounds The word ionic refers to any compound between one or more cations and one or more anions. 2  A cation is an ion that has fewer electrons than protons, which makes it positive. 3  Aâ¦. 4  The Periodic Table of Elements Life is sustained by a number of chemical elements.
