What are three properties of ionic compounds?

Answer 1

1) High Melting and Boiling Points. Ionic Compounds and bonded together by strong Ionic Bond. This results in a very strong bond requiring a lot of energy (in the form of heat energy) to overcome. Thus causing High Melting and Boiling points.

2) Conducts electricity in liquid state and in molten state. Ionic Compounds have a Crystal Latice Structure which causes their ions to be at fixed points thus making them unable to conduct electricity when in solid state. However when in liquid state or in molten state, Ions can move freely and thus they can conduct electricity in those two states.

3) Soluble in water but not soluble in organic solvent such as oil.

Answer 2

Ionic compounds are usually hard, brittle, and they conduct electricity when molten or dissolved. Also, they have high melting and boiling points. Most are soluble in polar solvents such as water. Also they have a crystal structure or crystal lattice.

Answer 3

The properties of an ionic compound are simple. My science teacher put it in a way that was easy to understand. An ionic bond is when an element gives up one or more electrons to another atom so that they will both have a maximum of 8 valence electrons. A covalent bond is when the two atoms share electron clouds and share 8 valence electrons. Co- sharing Valent- valence.

Answer 4

Properties of ionic compounds:

1. Are formed by the joining of a metal and a non-metal.
2. Has high boiling and melting points due to high force of attraction.
3. Are eloctrolyte ... they can conduct electricity when they are melted and dissolved in an aqueous solutions.
4. Can dissolve in polar substances ( example: water )

Answer 5

Oppositely charged ions (metals and non-metals) have a strong attraction for one another and, as a result, are held tightly together. This is known as ionic bonding and serves to build atoms into compounds called ionic compounds.

Answer 6

Ionic compounds have:

• High melting and boiling points

• Solubility: Usual soluble in water but not in organic solvents

• Electrical conductivity: conducts in molten and aqueous states; they do not conduct electricity in the solid state.

Answer 7

• High melting and boiling points
• Conduct electricity when molten or dissolved only
• Soluble in polar solvents such as water
• Brittle

Answer 8

A metal and a nonmetal
