In chemistry, ionic is the property of a chemical that its molecules or atoms are ions or are like ions, i.e. have a surplus (positive) or deficit (negative) (but not an equilibrium) of electric chargeElectric charge is a fundamental property of some subatomic particles, which determines their electromagnetic interactions. It is one of the quantum numbers. Matter that possesses a charge is influenced by, and produces, electromagnetic fields. The intera, which is the result of adding or removing an electronThe electron (also called negatron commonly represented as e&minus is a subatomic particle. In an atom the electrons surround the nucleus of protons and neutrons in an electron configuration. Electrons have the smallest electrical charge and when they mov to the outermost electron shell of the atom or molecule.

They are typically the product of a chemi, ionic compoundIn chemistry, an ionic compound is a chemical compound in which ions are held together in a lattice structure by ionic bonds. Ions can be single atoms, as in common table salt sodium chloride, or more complex groups such as calcium carbonate. But to be co, ionic bondAn ionic bond can be formed after two or more atoms give up (or gain) electrons, so as to become ions. This type of bonding occurs between metals and non-metals. The atom that loses electron(s) is usually a metal whilst the atom that gains is usually a no, ionic crystal, ionic charge
