Ionic Ionic compounds do not exist as gases at 25°C and 1 atm, because cations and anions in an ionic solid are held together by very strong electrostatic forces; that is, forces between positive and negative charges. To overcome these attractions we must apply a large amount of energy, which in practice means strongly heating the solid. This is the reason for the question.

Compounds can exist in liquids solids or gases?
Covalent.. A+
What Compounds can exist in liquids and solids or gases?
A+...metallics.
Noble gases usually exist as what?
Noble gases exist in the nature as gases; only a small number of (all man made) compounds of noble gases are known.
Explain why Krypton and Xenon do not readily react to form compounds?
They are noble gases whose electron shells are full. They cannot, therefore, form ions.
Why do noble gases exist independently without forming compounds?
Yes they do.
Why elements and all compound exist as molecules?
All elements and all compounds do not exist as molecules. As examples, noble gases exist as individulal atoms and ionic compounds form lattices.
How many gases exist in the universe known to man?
All elements and compounds can exist as a gas if heated sufficiently.
What type of compounds can exist as liquids solids or gases?
Ionic compounds conduct electricity as liquids and in solution.
Why inert gases are gaseous in nature?
All inert gases exist as gases in nature; but today the name inert remain only traditional. The so-called noble gases has known compounds (excepting neon).
Why don't noble gases exist in the human body except for trace amounts?
Mainly because they do not readily form compounds.
What type of matter can exist in all three states?
Any chemical has that capacity, if you create the necessary conditions of temperature and pressure. All elements and all compounds can exist as solids, liquids, or gases.
The elements that do not ordinarily form compounds are?
Noble gases do not normally form compounds.
