What is the ionic compound for K2O?

I guess that ur question refers to the K2O in solid state. Based on electronegativity their bond should be ionic. I guess that ur question refers to the K2O in solid state. Based on electronegativity their bond should be ionic.


When does an ionic bond form between a metal and a nonmeatal?

In the oxidation state


What is the ionic charge of solid copper metal?

Copper metal is not ionic. (The metallic bonding model of ions in a sea of electrons, is just a simplifification)


Is NiCL3 ionic or molecular?

NiCl3 is an ionic compound. Nickel (Ni) is a transition metal with a variable oxidation state, which in this case is +2, and chlorine (Cl) is a halogen with a -1 oxidation state. The combination of these elements results in an ionic bond between Ni and Cl atoms.


Why do roman numerals used for ionic compounds?

They are used to tell you which oxidation state the particular metal has when bonding to the non-metal. This is only done when the oxidation state can be more than one value.


How do you know is a compound is ionic?

Well, a covalent bond is a bond between anything. An ionic bond is a bond in which the non-metal takes an electron from the metal that it's bonding to. Since the metal has lost an electron, it becomes positively charged, and the non-metal, which has gained an electron becomes negatively charged. And so they bond together, as a polar molecule. So an ionic bond is always going to be a metal bonded to a non-metal. Make sense?


Is MgBr2 a metal?

Yes, MgBr2 is a chemical compound composed of magnesium (Mg) and bromine (Br), where magnesium is a metal. MgBr2 is an ionic compound where magnesium has a +2 oxidation state, making it a metal in this compound.


What is the oxidation number of Na in NaAlH4?

The oxidation number of Na in NaAlH4 is +1. This is because in ionic compounds, such as NaAlH4, the metal ion (Na) has a fixed positive oxidation state based on the charge it would have if it was an ion.


A substance that does not conduct electricity as a solid but does conduct electricity when melted is most likely classified as?

An ionic compound. Ionic compounds do not conduct electricity in their solid state because the ions are locked in place and cannot move to carry a charge. However, when melted, these ions are free to move and conduct electricity.


Why do ionic compound have high elctrical conductivity in the molten state and in water solution?

Ionic compounds are the compounds with dissociate into cations and anions when dissolved in solution. For example regular table salt (NaCl) is a ionic compound when dissolved in water dissociate into Na+ and Cl- , such a solution then can conduct electricity. Pure water with no impurities (no dissolved ions) is a modest insulater. Ionic compounds are combination of a metal and a non-metal.


Is cobalt 2 oxide a covalent or ionic bond?

Ionic. It would have to bind to a non-metal to do this. It can't be covalent because covalent is non-metal to non-metal. If it bonded to another metal though, it would be a metallic bond


Physical state of matter?

Could be in solid state, liquid or gas or ionic state. This ionic state is also known to be plasma state.
