The compounds which are formed by the transfer of electrons from metals to non-metals are called Ionic compounds. Ionic compounds are compounds consisting of ions.

Ionic compounds not conduct electricity in solid state because the ions are not free to move in their rigid structures, but in liquid state ions move freely.
