Ionic compounds have very strong forces holding them together, so the molecules wouldn't easily "break off" and float in the air, which is what you're smelling when you smell perfume.

What are 3 uses of ionic compounds?
It is used to make table salt.
Why is Al2O3 is named aluminum oxide without prefixes?
Aluminum oxide is an ionic compound. Prefixes are not used in naming ionic compounds, but are used in naming binary molecular compounds.
How is EN used in determining the ionic or covalent character of the bonding between two elements?
Usually ionic compounds are electronegative.
In what areas are ionic compounds used?
All over... your kitchen for one. Table salt in an ionic compound (sodium chloride, NaCl).
What properties can be used to form ionic compounds?
electronegativity. the greater the difference in electronegativity of the elements the greater the likelihood of them forming ionic bonds.
What are 3 uses of ionic compounds?
It is used to make table salt.
What can be used to represent an ionic compound?
formula mass can be used for ionic compounds.
Why are ionic liquids used in batteries but ionic compounds are not?
Ionic solids are not dissociated in ions.
Why is Al2O3 is named aluminum oxide without prefixes?
Aluminum oxide is an ionic compound. Prefixes are not used in naming ionic compounds, but are used in naming binary molecular compounds.
What kind of compounds is used to transmit impulses between nerve and muscle cells?
ionic compounds
What are the examples of ionic compounds and their uses?
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).
What are good thermal insulators in buildings?
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.

Can all flowers used to make perfumes?
No. That statement is not properly formed. You could say it better:The little shop sells perfumes that smell of flowers.It would be better to say:The little shop sells perfumes that have the fragrance of flowers.
What is the compound Cd3N2?
It's cadmium nitride, not cadmium binitride because the prefix "bi" is not used in ionic compounds such as these, only in molecular compounds.
