What else can I help you with?
Why wax is more stable in water and unstable towards heat but NaCl solid is less stable in water but highly stable in heat?
Wax is an organic molecule made up of nonpolar covalent bonds. So it is not soluble in water and has a reasonable melting point. NaCl is an inorganic salt made of ionic bonds. Because water is polar it can dissolve NaCl. Ionic bonds are very strong though, and so it has a high melting point.
Would it be correct to say molecule of NaCl?
No, it would not be correct to say "molecule of NaCl" because NaCl is an ionic compound composed of sodium (Na) cations and chloride (Cl) anions held together by ionic bonds. Instead of molecules, we refer to NaCl as a formula unit since it is not made up of discrete covalently bonded molecules.
What bonds are easily disrupted in aqueous solution?
Ionic bonds are easily disrupted in aqueous solution because water molecules can surround and separate the ions, breaking the bond. Hydrogen bonds can also be disrupted in water as the polarity of water molecules can interfere with the hydrogen bonding between molecules.
How is water equipped to break the relatively powerful ionic bonds making up crystals like sodium chloride?
Because of the phrase "like dissolves like". Both NaCl and water are made up of polar bonds and have a polar shape, so like dissolves like. If NaCl was nonpolar in its shape, the polar water would not be able to dissolve the nonpolar NaCl.
Is salt ionic compounds?
Yes.
Does ice contain ionic bonds?
No. they contain covalent bond and hydrogen bond
What is example of an ionic compound?
Table salt or Sodium Chloride (NaCL) is an ionic compound. NaCl, sodium chloride; An ionic compound made up of one or more positive ions (cations) and one or more negative ions (anions).
Does potassium hydroxide have ionic or covalent bonds?
Potassium hydroxide has ionic bonds. It is made up of a metal (potassium) and a non-metal (hydroxide), which typically form ionic compounds due to the transfer of electrons from the metal to the non-metal.
Is an ionic bond stronger than a covalent?
Covalent bond is made up of electrostatic attraction but ionic bond is made up of weak waalander's force of attraction
Is C2H4 an ionic compound?
No, C2H4 (ethylene) is not an ionic compound. It is a covalent compound because it is made up of nonmetal elements that share electrons to form bonds, rather than transferring electrons to create ionic bonds.
Are molecules covalent bonds or ions?
Molecules are made up of covalent bonds; however, search "ionic molecules" for more info.
Why there are no molecules in ionic compound?
Ionic compounds are made up of ions (positively and negatively charged atoms) held together by electrostatic forces. These ions do not form molecules with covalent bonds because they do not share electrons. Instead, the ions arrange in a crystal lattice structure.
