Ionic bonds are stronger than covalent bonds and therefore require more energy to break.


What happens when two ionic compounds mix?

it forms a cloudy mixture called suspension


Why are ionic compounds usually have high melting point while most simple covalent compounds have low melting point?

Ionic compounds are mad by ionic bonding The two parts of the compound ther for become one by means of moving electronioc and beoming stable there fore the bond and the compound is stronger that conalent compounds which just share the electrons needed for the two (or more ) elements to become a compound so they are weaker

Why ionic compounds are not used to make perfumes?

Ionic compounds have very strong forces holding them together, so the molecules wouldn't easily "break off" and float in the air, which is what you're smelling when you smell perfume.


Do ionic compounds shatter?

yes ionic compounds will shatter they are very brittle because when they form a crystal lattice each individual formula unit is not attracted to each other so they will break apart easily
