ionic
Having electrical charge
Ionic describes things relating to ions—atoms or molecules carrying an electric charge.
An ionic bond forms when electrons transfer between atoms, creating opposite charges that attract.
Ionic compounds like table salt dissolve readily in water.
The term appears frequently in chemistry and physics: ionic strength, ionic radius. (Capitalized Ionic relates to ancient Ionia or its architectural order.)
