Ionic compounds are compounds made up of ions. Ions are charged atoms or molecules that are charged because the number of electrons do not equal the number of protons in a material. Therefore, Sr O, Li l, Cl, Nh4 are ionic compounds...
Sr+2 O-2, Li+1 l-, I+Cl-, NH4 +Cl

Answer:

RbI and SrO

Step-by-step explanation:

Ionic Compounds are compounds formed with metallic and non-metallic ions.

For the compounds we have:

N - Non-Metal

H - Non-Metal

Rb - Metal

I - Non-Metal

S - Non-Metal

Cl - Non-Metal

Sr - Metal

NH3, SO2, ICl and NH4Cl we have non-metallic ions bounding with non-metallic ions.

RbI and SrO we have metallic ions bounding with non-metallic ions, that are ionic compounds.
