Plating one metal onto the surface of another by passing electric currents through an ionic solution is called?
Electroplating
What is plating one metal onto the surface of another by passing electric currents through an ionic solution called?
electrolysis
Is aluminum chloride a binary ionic compound?
yes. Aluminum is a metal and chlorine is a non-metal making this a ionic compound!
Can any solid material be electroplated?
No - neither as the plating nor the item being plated. For it to be electro-plating the solid item being plated must be conductive and the material being deposited must exist in an ionic form. Plastics (including circuit boards) are plated either via one of several vacuum deposition methods, or, in the case of circuit boards, via wet electro-less plating techniques.
Is NaCl an ionic or a molecular compounds?
NaCl is an ionic compound. Na ions are positive charged and Cl ions are negative charged. A Coulomb force is existing between the two kinds of ions, making NaCl an ionic compound.
Is carbon monoxide ionic or covanlent?
carbon monoxide has covalent bonds making it a covalent compound.
What part of an atom is involved in an ionic bond?
Its outer shell electrons. In ionic bonding, an atom loses one or more of its outer shell electrons (making it a positively charged ion) to the outer shell of another atom; making this a negatively charged ion.
Is KOH ionic or molecular compound?
its ionic, its cation(first letter) is a metal making it ionic
What is ionic plating?
Ionic plating is a process that occurs, if conditions otherwise allow, when a metal is in contact with a solution of a salt of a different metal that is lower in the electromotive series than the elemental metal in contact with the solution. Under such conditions, the surface atoms of the elemental metal dissolve to form the salt of that metal, and an electrochemically equivalent mass of the originally dissolved metal ions are reduced to elemental metal that adheres to the surface of the remaining elemental metal. After the entire surface of the originally elemental metal is covered in this way, no more of the elemental metal can dissolve because it is no longer in contact with the solution, being separated from it by a layer of the metal originally dissolved in salt form. Ionic plating is relatively little used in practice, because it can not be controlled as readily as electroplating. There is also a more general process called "electroless" plating in which ions of the metal desired to be plated are dissolved in a solution together with a reducing agent that does not react readily with the dissolved metal ions directly but does so at the surface of a contacting elemental metal, because the elemental metal catalyzes the reaction between the dissolved metal ions and the dissolved reducing agent. This is widely used in practice for plating objects that are too small to be conveniently connected to an electrode to permit electroplating.
Which ionic compounds would be good for making purple fireworks?
I think to lithium, strontium, strontium+copper.
Is ammonium nitrate covalent or ionic bond?
Ammonium nitrate has an ionic bond. Ammonium has an overall charge of 1+, making it a positive cation. Nitrate has an overall charge of 1-, making it a negative anion. When bonded together, nitrate gives ammonia an electron, resulting in an ionic bond being formed between them.
Why are covalent bonds more volatile than ionic bonds?
Covalent bonds are weaker. They simply share an electron making them sort of stick together. Ionic bonding works by energy transfer and then sticking together electromagnetically.
