Why are copper pipes used in place of old lead pipes for plumbing systems?

Ionic compounds are made of ions, and yet the overall charge of an ionic compound is neutral. why?

An object becomes electrically charged when: electrons are created in it electrons from it are destroyed electrons are transferred to it protons from it are destroyed protons are created in it

The atom fluorine generally will become stable through the formation of an ionic chemical compound by accepting electron(s) from another atom. this process will fill its outer energy level of electrons.
