What accounts for the observed differences in the properties of ionic and molecular compounds?

t Answer Well firstly, ionic compounds form from metals bonding with non metals. Molecular/covalent form from non metals bonding with non metals. A strong electrostatic force between ionic compounds results in them having high melting points. A weaker electrostatic force between molecular compounds results in them having lower melting points and thus weaker bonds. Ionic compounds are made up of ions, so will conduct electricity. Covalent compounds only share electrons and so are not ions, and will not conduct electricity.


The attraction between a positive metal ion and the electrons surrounding it is an?

Metals can be thought of as a lattice of metal ions surrounded by electrons. Again the force of attraction is electrostatic. These electrons are delocalised and metals get their conductiity from thir movement under an applied electric field. Positive metal ions in chemical compounds are surrounded by negativelly charged anions. The force between the oppositely charged ions is electrostatic.


Why is energy needed to split compounds?

Energy is required for just about any process. In the case of splitting compounds, the atoms attract one another with a certain force; this force must be overcome to tear them apart. Since the force is also applied over a positive (non-zero) distance, that requires work, i.e., energy.


When a force is applied to an ionic compound and the ions are repositioned so that like charged ions are located next to each other whathappens to the compound?

it can withstand much force but when a strong enough force is applied it will break


What force holds ionic compounds together?

Electrostatic Force . It is an attractive force between oppositely charged ions. The analogy is the north and south poles of a magnet. NB NaCl (Sodium chloride) is ionic. It splits into the ions Na^(+) & Cl^(-) Notice the charges are opposite (+/-) and there is the same number of charges on each side, viz ; '1'

What is the difference between impulse and force?

Impulse is the force applied on an object multiplied by the time during which the force is applied. To illustrate the difference, a large force applied during a short time may have a lower impulse than a smaller force applied for longer.


What is the difference between shock load and gradually applied loads and suddenly applied Load?

The only difference between a shock load and a gradually applied load is something called an impulse; defined as the integral of a force with respect to time. When a force is applied to a rigid body it changes the momentum of that body. A small force applied for a long time can produce the same momentum change as a large force applied briefly, because it is the product of the force and the time for which it is applied that is important.


If the same force is applied to two different objects what will determine the difference in their motion?

the mass and the amount of force

Do non-metals elements which are solid at room temperature break when they are hit?

Some do break, depending on the strength of the force applied.

What is the difference between axial load and radial load?

Axial load (or thrust load) is a force applied parallel to the longitudinal axis, whereas, a radial load is a force applied transverse to this longitudinal axis.


What is the definition of applied force?

a force which is applied to an object by a person or another object a force which is applied to an object by a person or another object


When a ramp is at a angle of 10.5 degrees what will be the applied force?

The applied force will depend on the required force, and the angle to the ramp (or the horizontal) at which the force is applied.

What is the difference between stress and strain and tension?

Stress is the tension/compression force per unit area.Strain is the ratio of change of length to the original length, due to applied force.Tension is the applied force which tends to elongate the body.


Does The Law of Applied Force state that a body's change in mass is proportional to the amount of force applied to it?

The Law of Applied Force states that a body's change in mass is proportional to the amount of force applied to it.
