How are the ions held together in the compound magnesium chloride?
In any ionic compound including magnesium chloride, the ions are held together by ionic bonds.
A compound held together by ionic bonds is?
releases ions into the substances
What type of ions bond together to form a compound?
When discussing ions, remember that opposites attract. Therefore, when ions bond together, you will find positive ions interacting with negative ions so the final molecule has no charge overall.
What is the formula of the compound containing potassium ions sulfur ions and oxygen ions?
Unless someone knows better I don't think such a compound could exist. All these elements are pretty electronegative and probably would not be able to combine together.
What holds the ions in an ionic compound together?
the force of attraction the force of attraction

If ions of calcium and phosphate were to join together to make a solid ionic compound what is the formula of the compound that would result?
Ca3(PO4)2
What holds the ions in an ionic compound together?
the force of attraction the force of attraction
What are the ions present in the compound CH4?
no ions
What are the ions present in the compound CO2?
Carbon dioxide is a covalent compound, it contains no ions.
How do ions form electrically neutral compounds-?
When ions come together, they do so in a way that balances out the charges on the ions.
What is an ioni compound?
In chemistry, an ionic compound is a chemical compound in which ions are held together in a lattice structure by ionic bonds. Usually, the positively charged portion consists of metal cations and the negatively charged portion is a halogen or polyatomic ion. Ions in ionic compounds are held together by the electrostatic force between oppositely charged bodies. Ionic compounds have a high melting and boiling point, and they have a high hardness and are very brittle.lattice structure where ions are held together by ionic bonds. contains cations and anions which are held together because they are opposite charges.A Compund made up of one or more positive metal ions(cations) and one or more negative iones(anions).
Is copper considered as an ionic compound?
Copper is not considered an ionic compound. The only ions it it are cations, which are held together by the metallic bonds of delocalized electrons. Furthermore, copper is an element, not a compound at all.
