Is an ionic compound an example of a chemical compound or is a chemical compound an example of an ionic compound?
An ionic compound is a type of chemical compound. Chemical compounds can be classified into different categories based on their composition and properties, with ionic compounds being one of these categories.
Is an ionic compound soft?
No, ionic compounds are hard.
What do you call a compound that is held together by an ionic bond?
most ionic compounds are salt
Why do all ionic compounds dissolve in water?
Many ionic compounds do NOT dissolve in water- such as calcium carbonate. The majority do and that is because the solvation of the ions is energetically favourable in those compounds.
Are Ionic compounds named using numerical prefixes?
No, Ionic compounds are named using the names of the individual ions that make up the compound. Numerical prefixes are used in naming molecular covalent compounds.
Are salts an example of an ionic compound?
Salts are ionic compounds.
Is an ionic compound considered to be a polar or non polar compound?
ionic compounds are polar compounds because they have charge separation between them
Which liquid solvents are best for dissolving ionic compounds and why?
Polar solvents such as water, alcohols, and acetone are best for dissolving ionic compounds because they have the ability to break apart the strong ionic bonds in the compound due to their positive and negative charges. This allows the individual ions to be surrounded and solvated by the solvent molecules, leading to the dissolution of the ionic compound.
Is ammonia a molecular compound or an ionic compound?
Ammonia is a molecular compound. It consists of individual molecules made up of covalently bonded atoms (one nitrogen and three hydrogen). It does not contain ions like in ionic compounds.
Is a brittle compound a molecular compound?
No, a brittle compound does not necessarily indicate it is a molecular compound. Brittle compounds can be either molecular or ionic, depending on their chemical bonding. Brittle molecular compounds typically have covalent bonds, while brittle ionic compounds have ionic bonds.
Is a telephone receiver an ionic compound a ionic compound or a covalent compound?
A telephone receiver is not a compound itself, but the materials used to make it can be either ionic or covalent compounds. The components of a telephone receiver, such as plastics and metals, are typically made of covalent compounds.
Compounds that have ionic bonds are called?
This is an ionic compound, for example a salt as potassium chloride.
