If it is ionic, it has a charge. You can figure this out by subtracting the electronegativity values of the atoms involved. The absolute value of the answer will be over 1.7 if the substance is ionic. If it is ionic, it has a charge.

How do you identify if a substance is an ionic compound or an molecular compound?
Ionic Compound is There two opposite charge that attracts to each other (+) (-) they transfer electrons to each other . METALS + NON- METALS = IONIC COMPOUND-madlakerz zarceus@yahoo.com
Is KCl a molecular or ionic substance?
It is ionic
Is sodium hydroxide an ionic substance?
Yes. All sodium compounds are ionic.
What is the substance that would not dissolve well in water and why?
A nonpolar substance, such as vegetable oil, would not dissolve well in water because water is a polar molecule and dissolves other polar molecules and many ionic compounds, but not nonpolar substances.
What substance conducts electricity in aqueous state but not in solid state?
ionic substance
Why does chemical formula help identify whether a substance is ionic or covalent?
Generally compounds formed between nonmetals are covalent.

Is KCl a molecular or ionic substance?
It is ionic
What is the identity of a substance that is a solid and its a ionic compound?
"an is an ionic"
Is soap an ionic substance?
yes because ionic has a o in it
Can a soluble substance become in soluble?
If there is no reaction occuring to change the molecular structure of the substance, you have to look at the ionic product of the substance. When the ionic product is more than the Ksp of the substance, there would be precipitation of the substance
Dose represents a molecular substance Al2O3?
No, it represents an ionic substance
Is sodium hydroxide an ionic substance?
Yes. All sodium compounds are ionic.
What is the substance that would not dissolve well in water and why?
A nonpolar substance, such as vegetable oil, would not dissolve well in water because water is a polar molecule and dissolves other polar molecules and many ionic compounds, but not nonpolar substances.
If the substance dissolves in water but the solution does not conduct electricity is the substance an ionic compound?
No.
What is a substance called form from metal and a non meatal?
An ionic substance, or a salt
What substance conducts electricity in aqueous state but not in solid state?
ionic substance
