What families tend to form ionic compounds?
i dunno my dumb teacher wants me to find out she should ask a dam scientist!
Why do some elements exist without ionic radius?
The elements that do not have quoted ionic radii are the noble gases. These elements do not form ionic compounds and therefore there is no crystallographic data. All of the other elements have ionic radii, these are either an "estimate" from the apparent size of the ion in different compounds, or a calculated value. Ionic radius is a useful idea but it should not be taken to literally, comparatively few compounds are truly ionic, most of them have some covalent character. The best examples of elements where the ionic radius is meaningful are the group 1, 2 metals, oxide ion and the lighter halogens.
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 do most ionic compounds form?
Ionic bond.

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 are most things elements or compounds?
Compounds.
The name for most ionic compounds other than oxides?
A "salt" is another name for ionic compounds
What elements are most likely to form an ionic compound?
Members of groups 1, 2, 6, 7 in the Periodic Table are most likely to form ionic compounds. It depends on what pair of elements are involved, for instance one rule of thumb is metal with nonmetal. Another, more systematic way, to assess this is to consider the difference in electronegativity between the two elements. If the electronegativity difference is 2 or more then the bond will be ionic. If the difference is less than 2 but more than 1.6 and one of the elements is a metal then there can be an ionic bond.
What is an atom is it a molecule an element or a compound?
Atoms are the building blocks of all matter. Atoms are the most basic units of an element that have the properties of that element. Atoms of elements combine to form molecules, which can be molecular compounds, and atoms of elements can combine to form ionic compounds, as well. Compounds contain atoms of two or more elements chemically combined.
What sorts of elements react to form ionic compounds?
highly electropositive elements react with highly electronegative elements to form ionic compounds. The former forms cations and the latter forms anions and the force of attraction between the positively charged cation and the negatively charged anion is the ionic bond.
