Ionic compounds tend to have very high boiling points. For example, table salt, sodium chloride (NaCl), has a boiling point of 1413 oC.

Do molecular compounds boil at a higher temperature than ionic compounds?

No


Do Covalent compounds boil at higher temperatures than ionic bonds or lower temperatures than ionic bonds?

'Covalently bonded' = 'Non polar' compounds have much LOWER boiling points than polar compounds and 'ion bonded' = 'Crystallic' compounds.(Compare: (all at STP)H2S (gas, linear, covalent H-S bonds) andH2O (liquid, non-linear, polar H-O bonds) andNa2O (solid, ionic, crystal, tetrahedrical(Na+) +cubic(O2-)


Ionic bonds are strong enough to cause almost all ionic compounds to be what at room temperature?

Ionic bonds are strong enough to cause almost all ionic compounds to be solid at room temperature.


At room temperature ionic bonds are strong enough to cause all ionic compounds to be what?

At room temperature, ionic bonds are strong enough to cause all ionic compounds to be in solid form.


In which state do ionic compounds usually exist at room temperature?

Ionic compounds typically exist as solids at room temperature, regardless of the state of matter of other compounds. This is because ionic compounds have strong electrostatic interactions between positive and negative ions, which hold them together in a solid crystal lattice structure.


Are ionic compounds usually liquids or gasses?

Ionic compounds are typically solid at room temperature. They have high melting and boiling points due to the strong electrostatic forces between the ions in the crystal lattice. However, there are some exceptions where ionic compounds can be liquids, like molten salts or certain ionic liquids.


At room temperature ionic bonds are strong enough to cause all ionic compounds to become?

they would be solids at room temperature.


Ionic compounds are normally in which physical state at room temperature?

Ionic compounds are typically in a solid state at room temperature due to strong attractions between positively and negatively charged ions. This solid state is characterized by a regular arrangement of ions in a crystal lattice structure.


What type of compounds can exist as liquids solids or gases?

Ionic compounds conduct electricity as liquids and in solution.


Increasing temperature of a liquid-solid will?

Boil or evaporate it depending on the compounds involved.


Ionic compounds tend to be what at room temperature?

Ionic compounds tend to be solid at room temperature due to their strong electrostatic interactions between ions, which hold them together in a rigid lattice structure.


How do ionic and molecular compounds differ in physical properties?

Ionic compounds have higher melting and boiling points than molecular compounds due to the strong electrostatic forces between ions. Ionic compounds are usually solid at room temperature, while molecular compounds can be solid, liquid, or gas. Ionic compounds conduct electricity when dissolved in water, while molecular compounds do not.
