Explanation:

An ionic compound is composed of oppositely charged ions held together in a crystal lattice. The lowest whole-number ratio of ions in an ionic compound is known as the formula unit.  The number of ions of opposite charge that surround each ion in a crystal is called the coordination number. Ions of the halogen atoms  are negatively charged and are called halide ions

Elements are composed of atoms, the electron(s) in the highest occupied energy level of an atom are called valence electrons. In metals, the attraction of the free-floating valence electrons for the positively charged metal is called the metallic bond. For atoms of elements, a depiction of the valence electrons as dots around the symbol for an element is called the electron dot structure or Lewis structure.

A combination of elements may be a compound or an alloy. An alloy usually contains at least one metal. For compounds, the chemical formula Shows the kinds and numbers of atoms in the smallest representative unit. Atoms form compounds because atoms in a compound tend to have the electron configuration of a noble gas this is the octet rule.
