Why do ionic compounds do not dissolve in organic solvent?
The typical rule for dissolving substances in one another is that substances most readily dissolve other substances with similar bonds. Alkanes are nonpolar because they have mostly nonpolar bonds. On the other hand, ionic compounds have ionic bonds, which are extremely polar. Therefore, because the difference in bond type, ionic compounds do not dissolve in any alkane.
Does calcium choride conduct electricity when a solid?
No, like most ionic compounds it does not.
A crystalline solid that is electrically neutral MOST likely has bonds?
Ionic bonds. All chemical compounds are electrically neutral, in that they do not posess an overall electrstaic charge. Crystalline solids could be either ionic or covalent. The most likely ones to be encountered in a laboratory or in the home are ionic solids. Most ionic compounds are crystalline solids at normal temperature. Ionic solids are generally the union of a metal and a non-metal. Examples include salt (sodium chloride), fluorite (calcium fluoride), and pyrite (iron sulfide). Ionic compounds are electrically neutral because the charges of their ions cancel out. So the answer is ionic bonds.
Is CsBr covalent or ionic?
CsBr is both polar and ionic, but is not covalent.
What are the typical properties of ionic compound?
low melting point. ionic compounds have high melting and boiling points. They conduct electricty in solution or in molten state unlike covalent compounds and carbon compounds which are poor conductors of electricity .
Most ionic compounds Are?
At room temperature, most ionic compounds are solids.
Are most ionic compounds solids?
At room temperature, most ionic compounds are solids.
What types of compounds are in most ores?
Oxides and silicates but sulphides are also present
What do most ionic compounds form?
Ionic bond.
Oxygen combines with most elements to from compounds called?
oxides
Is ZnO ionic or covalent?
It is ionic.
Which liquid solvents are best for dissolving ionic compounds and why?
Water, because it is polar, similar to most ionic compounds.
What families tend to form ionic compounds?
i dunno my dumb teacher wants me to find out she should ask a dam scientist!
Are molten covalent compounds better conductors than molten ionic compounds?
Almost all molten covalent compounds are much worseconductors than almost any molten ionic compounds. However, note that some ionic compounds contain covalently bonded polyatomic ions, and many of these can conduct electricity as well as most other ions in a melt.
The ions in most ionic compounds are organized into what?
crystals :)
What do you call a compound that is held together by an ionic bond?
most ionic compounds are salt
Is gasoline a primarily ionic compounds or convalent compounds?
Most gasoline is at least 99 % by mass covalent compounds.
