Explanation:

Ionic compounds are made of positive and negative ions. For the compound to be neutral, the positive and negative charges must balance. This is achieved when the charges cancel each other. The size of the charges is not ignored (ions have significant charges), and the charges are permanent (not short - lived).

Answer:

cancel each other
