What is different about the solubility of a covalently bonded compound and an ionic compound?
An ionic compound is more soluble than a covalently bonded compound.
Why does 0.300 M KCl have a higher boiling point that 0.500 M glucose?
KCl is an ionic compound and glucose is a molecular compound. Ionic compounds have higher boiling points than molecular compounds.
Why would an ionic compound be more likely to dissolve in water than oil?
An ionic compound can form interactions with water. Water happens to be a polar molecule. The positive ions are going to react with the partially charged negative ions (that are in the water). The negative ions will react with the partially positive charged hydrogen atoms in the water. But the ionic compound won't dissolve in oil because it can't form the same reaction.
Why CuS is covalent compound while CuO is ionic compound?
Not sure about your examples but electronegativity variance is a good rule of thumb for deciding ionic from covalent bonds. Electronegativity variance less than 1.4, generally much less, indicates a covalent bonding. Electronegativity variance greater than 1.4 indicates ionic bonding.
Ion that contains more than one atom?
No, an ion can be made up of one or more atoms; and is classed as an ion when there is a difference in the total number protons in the nucleus/nuclei of the atom/compound and the total number of electrons orbiting the atom ( /atoms if it's a compound.)
What is different about the solubility of a covalently bonded compound and an ionic compound?
An ionic compound is more soluble than a covalently bonded compound.
IS Cr2O3 molecular or ionic compound?
It is ionic compound as the difference in the electronegativity between chromium and oxygen is more than 1.7
Why CsF is more soluble in water than CsI?
Solubility of an ionic compound in water depends on the extent of dissossiation of ions. CsF is more ionic than CsI due to greater electronegativity of F.The more ionic a compound, the more is the extent of dissossiation of ions, so CsF is more soluble in water than CsI
What would fluorine have to combine with to form an ionic compound?
If fluorine combines with an element such that their electronegativity difference is more than 1.7, then they will form an ionic compound. Example:- Hydrogen fluoride is an ionic compound. Hydrogen has electronegativity of 2.1 and fluorine has 4.0. So, the difference is 1.9. Therefore, it is an ionic compound.
Is aluminum selenide ionic or covalent?
This compound is not ionic compound because the absolute difference in electronegativity between its both elements is less than 1.8. in ionic compounds the electronegativity difference should be more than 1.8 on pauling scale.
Is CrO2 an ionic or covalent bond?
Chromium oxide (Cr2O3) is an ionic compound, since it is made up of a metal and a nonmetal.
What are the two parts of an ionic compound?
Cation and anion. There can be more than one of each of these.
Does It require more energy to melt one mole of an ionic compound than one mole of a molecular compound?
Yes.
Is HF a ionic compound?
Yes, HF is an ionic compound. Electronegativity of H is 2.1 and that of F is 3.98. As the electronegativity difference is greater than 1.4 it is a ionic compound.
Why would the melting point of a molecular compound generally be lower than an ionic compound?
The ionic bond is stronger.
If the lattice energy of compound A is greater than compound B is A an ionic compound?
The bonds in compound A are stronger than the bonds in compound B.
Is SO4 a molecular or ionic compound?
Ionic because Ionic has metals or metal and non metals and for it to be molecular it can not contain metal
