Do binary ionic compounds have bonds that share two valence electrons?
No. Ionic compounds are held together by ionic bonds.
What do you call a compound that is held together by an ionic bond?
most ionic compounds are salt
Organic compounds are usually held together by what kind of bond?
Ionic Bonds.
Why ionic compounds are in solid state?
They are held together by strong electrostatic forces of attraction.
Why is so difficult to melt ionic compounds?
Melting a crystal implies that the lattice structure has to be broken down. Ionic compounds have strong lattices held together by electrostatic ionic bonds and generallly have high melting points.
Do binary ionic compounds have bonds that share two valence electrons?
No. Ionic compounds are held together by ionic bonds.
What properties charaterize ionic compounds?
Ionic bonds are very weak, and ionic compounds are very weakly held together chemically.

Why ionic compounds are in solid state?
They are held together by strong electrostatic forces of attraction.
What compounds is held together by electrostatic force between two ions?
A ionic compound
What are atoms held together by a atratction between what?
The electrostaic attraction between atoms (a metal and a nonmetal) occur in ionic compounds.
Is magnesium ionic or covalent bond?
Magnesium itself is held together by metallic bonds, which are neither ionic nor covalent. Its compounds would tend to have ionic bonds.
Why is so difficult to melt ionic compounds?
Melting a crystal implies that the lattice structure has to be broken down. Ionic compounds have strong lattices held together by electrostatic ionic bonds and generallly have high melting points.
What is the force that holds compounds together?
Anions and cations are held together by ionic bonds. Metal atoms are held together by metallic bonds. Nonmetals are held together by covalent bonds.
Why are atoms and compounds held together?
The atoms in compounds are held together by chemical bonds
Lonci compounds are held together by?
