What else can I help you with?
Are ionic compounds hydrophobic?
No. They are almost always hydrophilic and easily dissolve in water.
Is detergent ionic compound or covalent compound?
Detergent is typically composed of both ionic and covalent compounds. The surfactant molecules in detergents contain both hydrophilic (ionic or polar) and hydrophobic (covalent) parts, allowing them to interact with both water and oils/grease to remove them from surfaces.
Compounds that release ions when they dissolve in water are called?
Substances that form ions when dissolved in water are electrolytes.
What do you call a compound that is held together by an ionic bond?
most ionic compounds are salt
Ionic compounds often have higher melting point than metals. Using at least 2 properties of ionic compounds explain why is cookware not made from ionic compounds?
Cookware needs to have good thermal conductivity, while ionic compounds have poor conductivity. Additionally, ionic compounds are brittle and prone to shattering when subjected to mechanical stress, making them unsuitable for cookware that requires durability and resistance to impact.
Are ionic compounds hydrophobic?
No. They are almost always hydrophilic and easily dissolve in water.
Hydrophilic compounds polar or non polar?
Hydrophilic compounds are polar, meaning they have a charge separation within the molecule due to the uneven distribution of electrons. This polarity allows them to interact with water molecules, forming hydrogen bonds and dissolving easily in water. Non-polar compounds, on the other hand, repel water and do not mix well with it.
What does hydrophilic mean and how do you determine if a molecule is hydrophilic or hydrophobic?
Hydrophilic, or 'water loving' refers to molecules that are easily miscible in water. Polar molecules and ionic compounds are generally hydrophilic, and non-polar molecules are generally hydrophobic.See the Related Questions to the left for more information about how to determine if a molecule is non-polar, polar, or ionic.
What is the nature of solute?
the nature of interaction depends on whether they are lipophilic or hydrophilic. if both are hydorphilic ionic interaction, both lipophilic hydrogen bonding. ionic if lipophilic-hydrophilic.

What is the nature of solute-solvent interaction?
the nature of interaction depends on whether they are lipophilic or hydrophilic. if both are hydorphilic ionic interaction, both lipophilic hydrogen bonding. ionic if lipophilic-hydrophilic.

What do you call compounds that have been formed through ionic bonding?
Ionic compounds.
Is sodium hydroxide hydrophilic?
Sodium Hydroxide is hydrophilic. It is an ionic compound and will readily dissolve in water forming Na+ and OH- ions.
How does the melting point of ionic compounds compared to that of covalent compounds?
Ionic compounds generally have higher melting and boiling points.
