What is electrolytic method?
Weak electrolytic solutions are solutions that do not conduct electricity very well. Weak bases, weak acids and molecular compounds are examples of weak electrolytic solutions. The two examples of these acids include HF and NH3. An example of one of these bases is Ch3COOH.
Ionic bonds occur in inorganic compounds?
Ionic bonds do hold many inorganic compounds together (there are many covalently bonded inorganic compunds too) and organic compounds all contain carbon which always participates in a covalent bond.
What is smallest unit of compound?
molecules Why Molecules? Did u tell that? Please improve this answer because I want to know why.
What happens to ionically bonds in water?

What is the generic term for a substance that is bonded ionically?
salt
What consists of?
Ionically bonded compounds.
What consists of ions?
Ionically bonded compounds.
Ionically bonded compounds tend to be brittle?
they are very brittle.
What happens when sodium and chlorine join into a molecule?
Sodium and chlorine do not technically form molecules, but instead an ionically bonded salt. The proper term for what corresponds to a molecule in covalently bonded compounds is "formula unit" for ionically bonded compounds.
Do ionically bonded materials conduct electricity?
Yes, in either the molten state or in solution
What compounds do not contain covalent bondS O2 Hl CBr4 LiCl SO2?
Methane -gas at room temperature. -does not conduct electricity.
Do sugars ionize to an appreciable extent when dissolved in water?
no, only ionically bonded compounds can, sugar is covalently bonded.
Molecular formula for potassium chloride?
Since potassium iodide is ionically bonded, it does not technically have a molecular formula. The corresponding characteristic for ionically bonded compounds is a "formula unit", and for potassium iodide, this is KI
Are all molecules considered compounds?
No. Ionically bonded compounds are not considered molecules.
Is a compound held together by opposite charges?
Ionically bonded compounds are held together by opposite charges on the anions and cations that constitute the compound. Covalently bonded compounds and metals are held together by other means.
Do ionic bonds conduct electrical?
Ionic bonding is simply a term referring to the attraction between the charged ions in an ionic compound. For a substance to conduct electricity, it must have free electrons or free ions. In a solid ionic compound, the electrons cannot move freely throughout the solid, but instead, they are restricted to their own ions. Also, the ions are fixed in their own positions, and thus, they too cannot move freely. Therefore, ionic compounds in the solid state do not conduct electricity. However, if this ionic compound was dissolved in water or in molten state, the electrons would still be restricted to their own ions. But now, the ions can move freely. This means that ionic compounds CAN conduct electricity when in solution or when molten, but not in the solid state.
Why water is called good solvent?
It dissolves a very wide variety of chemicals. Much of this has to do with the fact that water is polar which helps dissolve ionically bonded compounds.
