All compounds are either positive or negative. Alkaline compounds are negative and acid compounds are positive. Look in the Periodic Table to find the compounds' chemical formula you are looking for. You want to form ionic compounds; so say you wanted to work out the formula for zinc nitrate. Zinc is Zn2+ and nitrate is NO3-. You use the Zn and take the 2 out. You don't with the nitrate because there is nothing to swap; the 3 is already converted so you don't swap that. You can't literally add the 2 from the zinc onto the 3 so you have to use brackets. Zn goes at the front of the formula because it isn't in brackets. So... Zn(NO3)2. The 2 goes outside the brackets because it cant be literally added on. Hope this helps but its not very clear, From MILLY
Ionic compound has a giant ionic structure in which there are strong ionic bonds between cations (positively charged ions) and anions (negatively charged ions).
[Ionic bonds are the strong non-directional electrostatic attractive forces between cations and anions. An ionic bond can be formed by the transfer of outermost shell electrons from one atom or a group of atoms to another.]
Ionic compounds form a definite crystal structure.
the compounds formed by ionic/electrovalent bonding are called ionic bonds .. was this what you needed ? or u need to know what is ionic/electrovalent bond ?
Ionic compounds are formed when two oppositely charged particles are attracted to each other.
they form a salt structure like a lattice and they use it for good purposes
Ionic compounds which consist of crystal lattices.
Molecules
There are ionic compounds which is a compound formed by a positive metal ion and a negative nonmetal ion. And there are convalent compounds which is a compound formed in which atoms share electrons.
It is an Ionic compound (as far as i guess)
are usually ions of the original elements
Molecular compounds are formed between two ionic bonds
When lithium and fluorine react, they form an ionic compound - lithium fluoride (LiF).
Ionic compounds.
No. Ionic compounds are formed by transfer of electrons Covalent compounds are formed by sharing of electrons
Compounds that are formed from cations and anions, or ions with negative and positive charge. Ionic compounds are also compounds that are formed from a metal and a non-metal.
Yes.
ionic compounds are formed by the complete transfer of electrons. If the electronegativity difference between the two atoms is above 1.7, then ionic bond is formed between the two atoms.
Organic compounds tend NOT to be ionic - there are exceptions. Organic Chemistry is defined as the Chemistry of Compounds of Carbon. Ionic forces tend to intercede when we add Oxygen.
Ionic Compounds are formed by complete transfer of electrons while Covalent compounds are formed by sharing of electrons. Ionic compounds have higher melting points while covalent compounds have lower.
Ionic compounds are formed when two oppositely charged particles are attracted to each other.
Ionic
(if you are talking about aqueous ionic compounds) when you mix 2 solutions containing ions from ionic compounds a solid is sometimes formed, which is called a precipitate
Ionic compounds do not form between nonmetallic elements. Nonmetallic elements form covalent bonds, and form molecular compounds. Ionic compounds are generally formed by metals and nonmetals.
Salts are ionic compounds that are formed by neutrlization of an acid & a base.
