How do ionic compounds form crystals?
When positive ions and negative ions are nearby they are attracted and pair up building an Ionic Crystal.
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.
Are borax crystals ionic compounds?
yes. borax crystal ia ionic compound.
What is three ionic compound?
four properties of ionic compound are: 1-All ionic compounds form crystals 2-Ionic compounds are very hard and very brittle 3-Ionic compounds conduct electricity when they dissolve in water 4-Ionic compounds tend to have high melting and boiling points and 3 ionic compounds are: Sodium Chloride - Na Cl Potassium Fluoride - KF Magnesium Chloride - MgCl2
Common substances that form ionic compounds?
substances such as sodium and chlorine for ionic compounds basically it is neutral elements that form ionic compounds

The ions in most ionic compounds are organized into what?
crystals :)

Is atmosphere ionic or covalent molecules?
Covalent molecules with small amounts of argon which is monatomic. All molecules are covalent. Ionic compounds form crystals, not molecules.
Are borax crystals ionic compounds?
yes. borax crystal ia ionic compound.

What are the examples of isomorphism of ionic crystals?
Compounds are said to be isomorphic when the crystals have the same form. In crystallographic terms this means having the same space group. The best known examples are perhaps the alums and the double sulfates, Tutton's salts. The crystals of the different compounds are very similar.
Does iron and chlorine make ionic compounds?
Yes they can form ionic compounds
What has positive ions and can form ionic compounds?
Metals form positive ions and form ionic compounds with negative ions.
What is a property of salt?
Salt is made of crystals.
What is the difference between and ionic and covalent bond?
Compounds with covalent bonds form molecules. Compounds with ionic bonds form ionic lattices.
