Ionic or metallic compounds do not contain covalent bonds.

Ex. Salt (ionic) or steel/iron/lead (metallic)

Which of these compounds is not likely to have ionic bonds LiF CH4 NaC1 or MgF2?

CH4 (methane) is not likely to have ionic bonds. This compound is composed of covalent bonds between carbon and hydrogen atoms. The other compounds listed contain ions and are more likely to have ionic bonds.


How many ionic bonds does carbon form in its compounds?

Carbon normally forms four covalent bonds in its compounds, not ionic bonds.


Are substances with ionic or covalent bonds more likely to dissociate in water?

Substances with ionic bonds are more likely to dissociate in water compared to those with covalent bonds. Ionic bonds are weaker when dissolved in water, leading to the dissociation of ions, while covalent bonds tend to remain intact.


Do ionic bonds create ionic compounds?

yes


Are covalent bonds more soluble than ionic bonds?

Covalent bonds are generally less soluble in water compared to ionic bonds. Ionic compounds dissolve in water because of the attraction between the ions and the polar water molecules. In contrast, covalent compounds are usually nonpolar or have weaker polar bonds, making them less likely to interact with polar water molecules and dissolve.


What compound is not likely to have ionic bonds?

Methane (CH4) is not likely to have ionic bonds because it is composed of nonmetallic elements (carbon and hydrogen) that tend to form covalent bonds by sharing electrons rather than transferring them. Ionic bonds typically form between a metal and a nonmetal.


Which element is likely to form an ionic compound with chlorine iodine cesium helium or iron?

Metals form ionic compounds with non metals. Fe is a metal. So it is likely to make ionic bonds with Cl.


Ionic bonds are strong enough to cause almost all ionic compounds to be what at room temperature?

Ionic bonds are strong enough to cause almost all ionic compounds to be solid at room temperature.


Are organic compounds formed with ionic bonds?

Organic compounds tend NOT to be ionic - there are exceptions. Organic Chemistry is defined as the Chemistry of Compounds of Carbon. Ionic forces tend to intercede when we add Oxygen.


What properties charaterize ionic compounds?

Ionic bonds are very weak, and ionic compounds are very weakly held together chemically.


A crystalline solid that is electrically neutral MOST likely has bonds?

Ionic bonds. All chemical compounds are electrically neutral, in that they do not posess an overall electrstaic charge. Crystalline solids could be either ionic or covalent. The most likely ones to be encountered in a laboratory or in the home are ionic solids. Most ionic compounds are crystalline solids at normal temperature. Ionic solids are generally the union of a metal and a non-metal. Examples include salt (sodium chloride), fluorite (calcium fluoride), and pyrite (iron sulfide). Ionic compounds are electrically neutral because the charges of their ions cancel out. So the answer is ionic bonds.


Do binary ionic compounds have bonds that share two valence electrons?

No, binary ionic compounds do not have covalent bonds where electrons are shared. Instead, they have ionic bonds where electrons are transferred from one atom to another. This results in the formation of positively charged cations and negatively charged anions that are attracted to each other due to their opposite charges.
