something which acts as ionic mostly. Predominantly ionic means mostly ionic. For example 1st and 2nd group elements are predominantly ionic means these elements forms mostly ionic compounds. predominantly ionic means majorly ionic.
What are three examples of ionic?
Ionic bond examples include:
- LiF - Lithium Fluoride.
- LiCl - Lithium Chloride.
- LiBr - Lithium Bromide.
- LiI - Lithium Iodide.
- NaF - Sodium Fluoride.
- NaCl - Sodium Chloride.
- NaBr - Sodium Bromide.
- NaI - Sodium Iodide.
What type of compounds are ionic?
Ionic compounds are compounds composed of ions, charged particles that form when an atom (or group of atoms) gains or loses electrons. (A cation is a positively charged ion; an anion is a negatively charged ion.) Covalent or molecular compounds form when elements share electrons in a covalent bond to form molecules.
