1)brittleness
2)high melting points
3)high boiling points
They are ionic compounds and solids.
Sodium Chloride Magnesium Oxide
Ionic bonds are very weak, and ionic compounds are very weakly held together chemically.
There are two elements. Those are sodium and chlorine.
- all metal salts are ionic compounds - many salts are soluble in water and are dissociated
Molecular (covalent) compounds are not dissociated in water.
the properties of an ionic compound can be explained by ht e strong attractions among ions within a crystal lattice.
It is possible for two different ionic compounds to contain the same elements because the way the elements are bonded and arranged with other elements can result in different chemical compounds with distinct properties. For example, sodium chloride (NaCl) and sodium carbonate (Na2CO3) both contain sodium and chlorine ions, but in different proportions and arrangements, leading to different compounds with unique properties.
Ionic compounds have higher melting and boiling points than molecular compounds due to the strong electrostatic forces between ions. Ionic compounds are usually solid at room temperature, while molecular compounds can be solid, liquid, or gas. Ionic compounds conduct electricity when dissolved in water, while molecular compounds do not.
Cookware needs to have good thermal conductivity, while ionic compounds have poor conductivity. Additionally, ionic compounds are brittle and prone to shattering when subjected to mechanical stress, making them unsuitable for cookware that requires durability and resistance to impact.
Type 1 binary ionic compounds are those in which the cation has only one form, or charge. Type 2 binary ionic compounds are those in which the cation can have multiple forms.
Ionic bonding results in the formation of a crystal lattice structure, which makes ionic compounds hard and brittle. Due to their charged nature, ionic compounds have high melting and boiling points. They also conduct electricity when dissolved in water or when melted due to the movement of ions.
