Why are salts called ionic compounds?
Salts contain ions, poistively and negatively charged--
Are ionic compounds metal?
Ionic compounds are not meatals: salts, acids, bases.
What is the example of binary covalent compounds?
A binary covalent compound is one that contains two substances joined by covalent bonds. For example, two nonmetals often join together to form covalent compounds. So, P2O5 (phosphorus pentoxide) is a binary covalent compound. H2O (dihydrogen monoxide) is another one. This is in contrast to binary ionic compounds, which are salts, and are formed by a metal combining with a nonmetal with ionic bonds.
Where are some places ionic compounds are found?
Ionic compounds can be easily found in salts (and in mineral ores when it comes to industrial level).
What are ionic bonds used to form?
Compounds formed by ionic bonds are called salts. This includes table salt, NaCl, but there are many other kinds as well.

Are salts an example of an ionic compound?
Salts are ionic compounds.
Are ionic compounds metal?
Ionic compounds are not meatals: salts, acids, bases.
Is table salt an example of a binary ionic compound.?
It is. It contains just the two elements, sodium and chlorine. The sodium forms positive ions, and the chlorides are negative.
Are salts nonionic compounds?
Salts are ionic compounds that are formed by neutrlization of an acid & a base.
Why Ionic hydride's are also known saline hydride's?
Ionic hydrides are called salt-like as salts are ionic. They are high melting and have crystal structures typical of ionic compounds. Hydrides are not straightforward salts, salts typically dissolve in water for instance, whereas hydrides react vigorously with water rather than dissolving in it.
How are salts bonded?
ionic compounds
What characteristics that all salts have in common?
Salts are ionic compounds.
Why are ionic salts soluble in water?
Because ionic salts are polar compounds as water, the solvent.
Are salts always ionic compounds?
Yes.
What are two statements about salts?
- salts are ionic compounds - salts are products of neutralization reactions
Are most binary compounds salt?
Yes, but there are also trinary (and may be quaternary) ionic salts like alum: KAl(SO4)2 potassium-aluminum sulfate
