Question

A compound consisting of ions with opposite charges held together by electrostatic forces is called an ionic compound.

• A. True
• B. False

Answer 1

The correct option is A True

Any ionic compound consists of ions of opposite charges that are held together due to the electrostatic force of attraction between the opposite charges(namely positive and negative).
E.g. NaOH is an ionic compound consisting of the ions $N{a}^{+}$ and $C{l}^{-}$, held together by the electrostatic force.
