Solution

To identify an ionic compound:

  • The compounds formation takes place with the two elements. The compound may have ionic bond or covalent bond. The elements in the compound are metal and non-metal, then the bonding will be ionic.
  • This bonding takes place between these groups (group1,2or3andgroup5,6,or7).The naming of compound is done as the name of metal will be in the first place while non-metal will be second. For example NaCl-Sodiumchloride

Thus, by the type of bonding and name of the compound, an ionic compound can be identified.
