What does IONIC mean in Scrabble?
adjective
chemistry
Relating to, formed by, or involving ions, atoms or groups of atoms that carry an electric charge.
Chemists use ionic to describe bonds, compounds, and reactions built around charged particles, as when table salt forms through an ionic bond between a positively charged sodium ion and a negatively charged chloride ion. An ionic compound typically dissolves readily in water and can conduct electricity once dissolved, properties that set it apart from compounds held together by other kinds of bonding. The word is unrelated to the identically spelled but separate architectural term for a classical Greek column style.
