    When Ionic compounds dissolve, they split up into ions. For example, AB(s)= A+(aq) + B-(aq). Ions can be found on your periodic table of elements. When you break up an ionic structure into its ions it is called dissociation. There are positive and negative ions-Negative being Anion and Positive being Cation. For example, Sodium is Na+ and Chlorine(I think thats what you mean, not chloride) is Cl- if you put them together. (NaCl= >Na+1 + Cl-1)

    Sodium ion = Na+

    aluminum ion= Al3+

    chloride ion= cl-

    iron(II) ion= Fe2+

    iron(III) ion= Fe3+
