How would you compare the crystal lattice energy compared to the energies of the neutral atoms forming the ionic compound?
I don't know I have no arms :(
In forming a water solution what process does an ionic compound undergo?
hydration of the ions- this forms aqua complexes. The energy of formation of the aqua complexes has to be greater than the energy holding the crystal together. This is true for NaCl which is a soluble compound, but untrue for calcium chloride which has very low solubility.
What kind of structure does an ionic compound have?
crystal compounds
The ions in an ionic compound are arranged in a repeating threedemsional pattern called?
It's called a crystal lattice. It's called a crystal lattice.
How do you hasten the formation of crystals in crystallization?
Add a seed crystal (typically made of the same material as the target crystal) to the solution, and reduce the temperature of the solution.
What are the differences of crystal and mineral formation?
Mineral crystal formation is a naturally occurring process of inorganic material. Crystal formation can occur in organic material as well, but would not be considered mineralogical crystal formation.
How would you compare the crystal lattice energy compared to the energies of the neutral atoms forming the ionic compound?

One of the first steps in the formation of an aqueous solution of an ionic compound is disruption of the ionic bonds holding the compound together in a crystal lattice?
This step alone cannot be used to predict solubility.
What is the empirical formula of MgO?
MgO is an ionic compound and all the ionic compounds are represented by their emperical formula because actual no of atoms can not be represented due to a very huge crystal formation.(crystal lattice).
Mixed crystal formation?
mixed crystal formations are mixed with two types of crystals
How is matter element atom crystal compound and molecule the same?
An element, atom, crystal, compound, and molecule are all forms of matter.
Is AgMnO4 a molecular compound?
Silver permanganate is an inorganic compound with the chemical formula AgMnO4. It is a purple crystal adopting monoclinic crystal system.
What is added to ice cream to prevent crystal formation?
your head
How can you tell how old a crystal is?
Radioactive isotope analysis &/or other measurements & calculations on the crystal itself or on its source formation.
Is table salt crystal a compound?
Table salt is a compound - sodium chloride (NaCl).
What is name given to the regular pattern in which an ionic compound is arrange?
crystal lattice
In forming a water solution what process does an ionic compound undergo?
hydration of the ions- this forms aqua complexes. The energy of formation of the aqua complexes has to be greater than the energy holding the crystal together. This is true for NaCl which is a soluble compound, but untrue for calcium chloride which has very low solubility.
