they can't be used as electrolytes because the only way an ionic bond can conduct electricity is when you drop it in water. The water loosens up the space between the ions and allow them to glide which them allows them to conduct an electrical current.

∙ 13y agoAluminum oxide is an ionic compound. Prefixes are not used in naming ionic compounds, but are used in naming binary molecular compounds.
Mostly ionic solutions are the ones which are used as electrolytes. It is because of the concentration of the ions produced in the solution. So, they act as suitable electrolytes.
You can NOT dissolve 'covalent BONDS' because a bond is one couple of two electrons which hold their two 'parent' atoms together in one molecule.Try asking the question again with what you want to know, not what you have only 'heard of'.
It is used to make table salt.
All ionic compounds are solid at room temperature because ionic bonds are very strong and it takes a lot of heat energy to break them to turn them into a liquid or a solid. 400-1400 degrees can be used to break the bonds.
formula mass can be used for ionic compounds.
Ionic solids are not dissociated in ions.

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 .

Ionic compounds are also called salts. An example of their uses is sodium chloride (Na+Cl-), which is used in the kitchen (it is normal salt as we know it).
Ionic compounds are good thermal insulators. Magnesium carbonate, an ionic compound, is sometimes used. Ionic compounds have extremely high melting points and therefore, if they were heated they would not melt.

Usually ionic compounds are electronegative.
