Why is it so difficult to melt ionic compounds?
Ionic compounds have strong electrostatic forces of attraction between their positively and negatively charged ions. These forces must be overcome in order to melt the compound, requiring a high amount of energy. Additionally, ionic compounds typically have high melting points due to their strong bonds.
Are you made of ionic or covalent compounds?
I am an artificial intelligence program running on a computer, so I am not made of either ionic or covalent compounds.
What statement best describes the properties of ionic compounds?
Ionic compounds are composed of cations (positively charged ions) and anions (negatively charged ions) held together by electrostatic forces. They tend to have high melting and boiling points due to strong ionic bonds. These compounds are often soluble in water and can conduct electricity when dissolved or melted.
What best describes the properties of ionic compounds?
There is not a statement available so it is difficult to answer this. Some properties of ionic compounds are high melting points, solid in room temperature, and they are brittle.
Are melting points of covalent compounds high or low compared to ionic compounds?
Melting points of covalent compounds are generally lower than those of ionic compounds. This is because covalent compounds have weaker intermolecular forces compared to the strong electrostatic forces present in ionic compounds, so they require less energy to break apart the molecules.

Are all compounds composed of molecule's?
some compounds are composed of molecules bound by ionic compounds so no
Why do people mix metals with nonmetals?
So that they can make ionic compounds.
Are melting points of covalent compounds high or low compared to ionic compounds?
Melting points of covalent compounds are generally lower than those of ionic compounds. This is because covalent compounds have weaker intermolecular forces compared to the strong electrostatic forces present in ionic compounds, so they require less energy to break apart the molecules.
Are ionic compounds metal?
Ionic compounds are typically made up of a metal cation and a non-metal anion. The metal cation provides the positive charge, while the non-metal anion provides the negative charge. So, while not all ionic compounds contain a metal, they often do.
Does strontium chloride have a ionic or covalent bond?
It is ionic as are all strontium compounds.
Can Li and Ca form ionic compounds?
Yes, lithium (Li) and calcium (Ca) can form ionic compounds. Lithium has a +1 charge, and calcium has a +2 charge, so they can combine to form compounds like lithium chloride (LiCl) or calcium fluoride (CaF2) through ionic bonding.
Do ionic compounds dissolve in nonpolar compounds?
Ionic compounds do not dissolve in non-polar compounds. They can dissolve only in polar compounds. Dissolution is actually dissociation of the ionic compounds and the polar solvent into constituent ions and development of weak forces of attraction called hydrogen bonds. The dissociation is not necessarily complete always.
Does ice melt in oily water?
NO.the chemical and ionic bonds WILL NOT allow so!Well, actually the ice will melt, it just wont mix into the oil.
