Are ionic compounds hydrophobic?
No. They are almost always hydrophilic and easily dissolve in water.
Which characteristic of water molecules makes water a good solvent?
The polarity of water results in the ability of water to dissolve other hydrophilic molecules
Give the properties of ionic compounds?
There is one very important property of ionic compounds. Ionic compounds are compounds that will conduct electricity when dissolved in water.
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?
1) Ionic compounds are not good heat conductors 2) Ionic compounds are not malleable
What is the ionic charge of chlorine in its compounds?
In ionic chlorine compounds, the ionic charge of chlorine is -1.
Hydrophilic compounds polar or non polar?
Hydrophilic compounds are polar or ionic and this is the reason for attraction of water towards these substances.
Are ionic compounds hydrophobic?
No. They are almost always hydrophilic and easily dissolve in water.
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.

In ionic chlorine compounds, the ionic charge of chlorine is -1.
Common substances that form ionic compounds?
substances such as sodium and chlorine for ionic compounds basically it is neutral elements that form ionic compounds
Compounds that release ions when they dissolve in water are called?
Substances that form ions when dissolved in water are electrolytes.
How can molecular compounds be distinguished from ionic compounds?
Many ionic compounds exist as crystals but covalent compounds as molecules (there are exceptions as diamond though). Ionic compounds would be good electrical conductors unlike molecular compounds.
