Three characteristics of ionic compounds are listed here.
1) They are solid at room temperature.
2) As solids they do not conduct electricity (however, when molten they do)
3) They have low thermal conductivity.

What does ternary ionic compound mean?
"Ternary" means that the compound contains three elements.
Is CrO3 ionic?
Yes it is.
What is the ionic compound of aluminum and chlorine?
The ionic compound formed between aluminum and chlorine is aluminum chloride (AlCl3). In this compound, aluminum donates three electrons to each chlorine atom to form a stable ionic bond.
What is the difference between a binary ionic compound and a teranry ionic compound?
No. Not all binary compounds are ionic and not all ionic compounds are binary. An ionic compound is a compound formed by the exchange rather than the sharing of electrons. A binary compound is any compound of exactly 2 elements. Examples: Sodium chloride (NaCl, compound sodium and chlorine) is both binary and ionic. Potassium hydroxide (KOH, compound of potassium, hydrogen, and oxygen) is ionic but not binary. Water (H2O, compound of hydrogen and oxygen) is binary, but covalent, not ionic.
What is a three-dimensional arrangement of particles in an ionic solid?
It varies with the compound.
Is PC13 an ionic compound?
Yes, PC13 is an ionic compound. It is composed of a polyatomic ion, phosphorus trichloride (PCl3), which consists of a phosphorus atom bonded to three chlorine atoms through ionic bonds.
An ionic compound is not represented by a molecular formula because an ionic compound?
An ionic compound is not represented by a molecular formula because it does not exist as discrete molecules. Instead, it exists as a three-dimensional array of positively and negatively charged ions held together by ionic bonds. The formula for an ionic compound represents the simplest ratio of the ions present in the compound.
What is the formula for the ionic compound aluminum chloride?
The formula for the ionic compound aluminum chloride is AlCl3. This indicates that one aluminum atom combines with three chlorine atoms to form the 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.
What happens in an ionic compound?
The positive and negative ions pack up alternately and create a three dimensional ionic lattice.
Is Sr3N2 an ionic or covalent compound?
Sr3N2 is an ionic compound. It is composed of strontium (Sr) and nitrogen (N) ions, where strontium loses three electrons to become a 3+ cation and nitrogen gains two electrons to become a 2- anion, resulting in an ionic bond.
An ionic compound forms a solid with an orderly three dimensional pattern called what?
A lattice.
