Detailed Instructions: Given a scientific passage and an answer, generate a question for the given answer.
Problem:Passage: There are many other examples of redox reactions in which two neutral elements combine to make a compound. These often take the form of a metal being oxidized and a nonmetal being reduced, resulting in an ionic compound. Two nonmetallic elements can also undergo a redox reaction of this type, in which the less electronegative element is oxidized and the more electronegative element is reduced. Answer: ionic compound
Solution:
When a metal is oxidized and a nonmetal is reduced in a redox reaction, what is the resulting compound called?
