An ionic solute requires a very strong polar solvent such as water in which to dissolve.

Why would ionic solids most likely dissolve in water?

Ionic solids most likely dissolve in water because water is a polar solvent.


Will all solids dissolve water?

No, not at all. In fact most solids are INsoluble. Some solids (such as metals, stones, wood) don't dissolve while other solids like sugar or salt do dissolve. Water is a polar molecule, therefore it can dissolve only polar substances and many ionic compounds. However, it cannot dissolve non-polar substances.

A crystalline solid that is electrically neutral MOST likely has bonds?

Ionic bonds. All chemical compounds are electrically neutral, in that they do not posess an overall electrstaic charge. Crystalline solids could be either ionic or covalent. The most likely ones to be encountered in a laboratory or in the home are ionic solids. Most ionic compounds are crystalline solids at normal temperature. Ionic solids are generally the union of a metal and a non-metal. Examples include salt (sodium chloride), fluorite (calcium fluoride), and pyrite (iron sulfide). Ionic compounds are electrically neutral because the charges of their ions cancel out. So the answer is ionic bonds.


Nonpolar solvents will most easily dissolve solids that are?

Nonpolar solvents will most easily dissolve solids that are also nonpolar or have weak polar interactions. This is because like dissolves like, meaning substances with similar polarities are more likely to mix together. Examples of nonpolar solids that dissolve well in nonpolar solvents are hydrocarbons like fats, oils, and grease.


What do most ionic compounds form?

Most ionic compounds form crystalline solids. These solids have a repeating pattern of positively and negatively charged ions held together by electrostatic forces.


What is the meaning of water when solids will dissolve in it?

Water acts as a solvent in this case. When the solid is dissolved, it becomes a solution. The most common cases you will come across of a water soluble compound will likely be an ionic compound such as sodium hydroxide or potassium nitrate, or the likes of sucrose etc.


What are the most common solids that dissolve?

I Think it is salt and sugar:)


Are most ionic compounds solids?

Yes, most ionic compounds are solids at room temperature due to strong electrostatic forces holding the ions together in a fixed lattice structure. This structure is stable in the solid state but may break apart in the liquid or gaseous state.


Which solid is the strongest-ionic solids metallic solids covalent solids?

Ionic solids tend to be the strongest because they have strong electrostatic forces between positively and negatively charged ions. Metallic solids have a delocalized electron sea that allows for high conductivity but not necessarily the same level of strength as ionic solids. Covalent solids have strong covalent bonds but may not be as strong as ionic solids due to the lack of strong electrostatic interactions.


What are two properties of most salt?

They are ionic compounds and solids.
