Answer:

Ionic compounds differ from ions in that the overall charge in ionic compounds equals zero while the overall charge in ions is less than or greater than zero. Ions have a superscript number followed by a either a positive or a negative sign. Where both signs appear in the same formula they make it an ionic compound.
