What solvents are non-conductive?

Non-ionic solvents, as organic solvents.


What type of substance is conductive when dissolved in water?

These are ionic compounds dissociated in water.


What solvent does not dissolve ionic compounds?

Organic solvents, which are non-polar cannot dissolve polar compounds, such as ionic compounds.


Can CCL4 dissolve ionic compounds?

CCl4 is a non polar solvent and therefore dissole ionic compounds


What is the difference between ionic and nonionic compound?

ionic compounds can desociate into anion & cation.. non ionic compounds can not desociates into anion & cation..


Are sodium and magnesium are ionic or non ionic?

both are elements. but both form ionic compounds


What are ionic bond compounds?

Compounds that are formed from cations and anions, or ions with negative and positive charge. Ionic compounds are also compounds that are formed from a metal and a non-metal.


Examples of ionic and covalent compounds?

Ionic compounds: NaCl, KOH, CuSO4, etc. Any compound containing a metal and a non-metal. In ionic compounds, metals have positive ions (they lose electrons to the non metal) and non-metals have negative ions (as they gain electrons from the metal) Covalent compounds: CH4, BF3, NH3, all hydrocarbons/ all compounds containing only non-metals.


Is an ionic compound considered to be a polar or non polar compound?

ionic compounds are polar compounds because they have charge separation between them


What are ionic compounds between?

Ionic compounds are between a metal ion and a non-metal ion otherwise known as a cation and anion.


What accounts for the observed differences in the properties of ionic and molecular compounds?

t Answer Well firstly, ionic compounds form from metals bonding with non metals. Molecular/covalent form from non metals bonding with non metals. A strong electrostatic force between ionic compounds results in them having high melting points. A weaker electrostatic force between molecular compounds results in them having lower melting points and thus weaker bonds. Ionic compounds are made up of ions, so will conduct electricity. Covalent compounds only share electrons and so are not ions, and will not conduct electricity.


Is ionic compounds polar or non-polar?

Ionic compounds generally are more soluble in polar solvents than in non-polar. Strictly polar compound is a term applied to compounds with a polar covalent bond
