Water "auto-ionises" - forming H+ and OH-
H2O <-> H+(aq) + OH-
the H+aq means that the H+ is attached to water molecules or hydrogen bonded "clumps" of water molecules"
Water contains no ionic bonds as it is a covalent compound.
An ionic compound in water is dissociated forming ions.
It is an Ionic compound just as water is.
ionic However, it should be noted that not all ionic compounds are water soluble.
No. Water is a polar covalent compound.
An ionic compound dissolved in water form cations and anions.
Table salt, which is sodium chloride, is an ionic compound.
A hydrate is an ionic compound that has water molecules attached to its crystal lattice, while an anhydrous ionic compound does not have water molecules attached. Hydrates can easily lose or gain water molecules depending on the conditions, while anhydrous compounds remain stable without water.
When a compound held together by ionic bonds dissolves in water, the ionic bonds are broken and the compound dissociates into its constituent ions. These ions are then surrounded by water molecules, which stabilize them and prevent them from re-forming the solid compound.
An ionic compound dissociated in water is an electrolyte and is of course more conductive..
