Ionic bonds are strong enough to cause all ionic compounds to be?

Solid


At room temperature ionic bonds are strong enough to cause all ionic compounds to become?

they would be solids at room temperature.


At room temperature ionic bonds are strong enough to cause all ionic compounds to be what?

liquid or gases


What are two physical characteristics of ionic compounds What is one chemical characteristics of ionic compounds?

Ionic compounds are hard and rigid due to strong forces of attraction between the oppositely charged ions. Ionic compounds have high melting and boiling points, again due to strong forces of attraction between the ions. Ionic compounds dissolve easily in water.


Are all ionic compounds Almost all ionic compounds are soluble in water?

Almost all. Some such as calcium carbonate, silver chloride are not soluble. Generally ionic compounds are soluble in water due to their ionic bonds which makes them easy to dissociate in polar solutions such as water.


When are ionic compounds at boiling point?

when they get hot enough


What do strong acid have in common with ionic compound?

Like most ionic compounds a a strong acid dissociates into ions when mixed with water.


Are ionic bonds generally found in organic compounds?

No. Organic compounds are almost exclusively covalent.


Are melting points of covalent compounds high or low compared to ionic compounds?

Ionic compounds have strong electrostatic force of attraction and hence have higher melting points than covalent compounds.


In which state do ionic compounds usually exist at room temperature?

due to strong electrostatic forces ionic compounds usually exist as solids at room temperature.


Are molten covalent compounds better conductors than molten ionic compounds?

Almost all molten covalent compounds are much worseconductors than almost any molten ionic compounds. However, note that some ionic compounds contain covalently bonded polyatomic ions, and many of these can conduct electricity as well as most other ions in a melt.


Do covalent compounds have lower boiling point than ionic compounds?

yes. the boiling point of ionic compounds is high due to the presence of strong electrostatic force of attraction between the ions.
