What type of compound conducts electricity when dissolved in water?
Ionic compounds conduct electricity when dissolved. Sodium chloride is an example
What type of substance is conductive when dissolved in water?
These are ionic compounds dissociated in water.
Can inorganic compounds dissolved in water conduct electricity?
yes
Can dissolved particles be removed by filter?
Not if they are dissolved - if they are then they're of molecular size.
Are molecular compounds formed from semimetals?
Molecular compounds certainly can be formed from semimetals, but not all the compounds of semimetals are molecular.
Why don't molecular compounds dissolved in water conduct electricity?
There are no ions present
Do ionic compounds and molecular compounds behave similarly when they are dissolved?
Ionic compounds eg NaCl yield ions when dissolved in water, NaCl (in water) -> Na positive ions and negative Cl ions. Ions have electrical charges & conduct electricity. All compounds are "molecular", ie they are made up of more than one atom in combination. Some molecules are not ionic, eg common sugar, and when they are dissolved in water they do not yield ions and do not conduct electricity.
Is sucrose dissolved in water an ionic compound?
No, both sucrose and water are molecular compounds. When mixed together they form a solution or a homogeneous mixture.
When chloride compounds are dissolved in water what is the water?
The water is called solvent, the compounds to be dissolved are solutes
How do agueous solutions of ionic and molecular compounds difer?
Aqueous [note spelling] solutions of ionic compounds conduct electricity, but aqueous solutions of molecular compounds do not, unless the molecular compounds dissociate into ions when dissolved. Sugar, acetone, ethanol, and methanol, for example, do not dissociate, but acetic acid does.
How are the properties of molecular compounds different from those of ionic cmpounds?
Molecular (covalent) compounds are not dissociated in water.
How can water dissolve some ionic compounds as well as some molecular compounds?
Water can dissolve some ionic compounds as well as some molecular compounds because of its polarity. It is polar enough to dissolve ionic compounds into their ions. Water does not dissolve molecular compounds by breaking covalent bonds, but through intermolecular forces.
When ionic compounds are dissolved in water they are called?
Any other compounds dissolved in water may be properly called a "solute", and when the compounds are ionic they may also be called "electrolytes."
When dissolved in water what compounds are better conductors of electricity?
The conductivity difference between organic and inorganic compounds is carbon molecules. The Organic compounds have carbon molecules and inorganic do not.
How soluble in water?
Solubles are compounds able to be dissolved in water.
When chlorine compounds are dissolved in pool water what is water?
Chlorinated
When chlorine compounds are dissolved in pool water what is in the water?
the solution
