The document discusses the formation of ionic bonds and compounds. It involves 3 steps: 1) drawing the electronic configuration for each atom, 2) filling in the new electronic configuration for ions by gaining or losing electrons, and 3) labeling the charge on each ion. Ionic bonding results from electrostatic attraction between positive and negative ions in a giant ionic lattice structure. This ionic compound is stable and its properties differ from the original atoms.
