What does non-ionic mean?

Non-ionic means not carrying an electric charge. Non-ionic compounds or molecules do not contain positively or negatively charged ions, unlike ionic compounds which do. This property allows non-ionic substances to have different solubility and chemical characteristics compared to ionic compounds.


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.


What are the characteritics of covalent compounds?

Covalent compounds are formed by the sharing of electrons between atoms. They typically have lower melting and boiling points compared to ionic compounds. Covalent compounds are often insoluble in water and non-conductive in their solid state.


Is ionic compounds polar or non-polar?

Ionic compounds are non-polar because they consist of ions (charged particles) held together by electrostatic forces. These compounds do not have a separation of charge within the molecule, which is characteristic of polar compounds.


Are ionic compounds metal?

Ionic compounds are typically made up of a metal cation and a non-metal anion. The metal cation provides the positive charge, while the non-metal anion provides the negative charge. So, while not all ionic compounds contain a metal, they often do.

Is dichloromethane conductive?

No, dichloromethane is a non-conductive compound. It is a polar solvent but lacks ionic characteristics, so it does not conduct electricity.


Covalent compounds display which of these properties?

Covalent compounds are neutral. Covalent compounds share electrons. apex:)
