What elements are most likely to form an ionic compound?
Members of groups 1, 2, 6, 7 in the Periodic Table are most likely to form ionic compounds. It depends on what pair of elements are involved, for instance one rule of thumb is metal with nonmetal. Another, more systematic way, to assess this is to consider the difference in electronegativity between the two elements. If the electronegativity difference is 2 or more then the bond will be ionic. If the difference is less than 2 but more than 1.6 and one of the elements is a metal then there can be an ionic bond.
Why ionic compound exist in solid form?
because the ionic compounds are held more strongly so thwy are solids .simple
What compound is most likely to contain an ionic bound?
Ionic bonds generally form between metals and non-metals. So, ionic compounds feature ionic bonds. The greater the electronegativity difference (usually the farther apart they are on the periodic table), the more ionic the bond is. The most ionic compound possible is cesium fluoride (CsF) because those two elements have the greatest possible electronegativity difference.
A combination of two or more atoms?
A compound. It can be an ionic compound or a covalent/molecular compound, depending on what elements are being combined. If one element is a metal and the other is a nonmetal, then the compound is most likely ionic. If both elements are non_metals, then the compound will be covalent, or molecular.
Can Cs and O form a covalent bond?
Covalent bonds are formed between a metal and a non-metal. Co is cobalt, a metal, so it will react with O to form CuO, a compound with ionic bonds.
What would fluorine have to combine with to form an ionic compound?
If fluorine combines with an element such that their electronegativity difference is more than 1.7, then they will form an ionic compound. Example:- Hydrogen fluoride is an ionic compound. Hydrogen has electronegativity of 2.1 and fluorine has 4.0. So, the difference is 1.9. Therefore, it is an ionic compound.
Why would ionic compound be more likely to dissolve in water in oil?
An ionic compound can form interactions with water. Water happens to be a polar molecule. The positive ions are going to react with the partially charged negative ions (that are in the water). The negative ions will react with the partially positive charged hydrogen atoms in the water. But the ionic compound won't dissolve in oil because it can't form the same reaction.
Why would an ionic compound be more likely to dissolve in water than oil?
An ionic compound can form interactions with water. Water happens to be a polar molecule. The positive ions are going to react with the partially charged negative ions (that are in the water). The negative ions will react with the partially positive charged hydrogen atoms in the water. But the ionic compound won't dissolve in oil because it can't form the same reaction.

What kind of compound is sodium chloride?
Metal (More specifically Ionic compound)

When 2 or more atoms combine chemically they form an?
Chemical compound, which may be molecular or ionic.

What is different about the solubility of a covalently bonded compound and an ionic compound?
An ionic compound is more soluble than a covalently bonded compound.
When two or more atoms form different elements join they form?
When two or more atoms from different elements join together chemically they form a compound. The compound can be ionic or covalent/molecular depending on the elements that are combined.
Is the composition of an ionic compound formed by two or more nonmetallic elements?
Ionic compounds do not form between nonmetallic elements. Nonmetallic elements form covalent bonds, and form molecular compounds. Ionic compounds are generally formed by metals and nonmetals.
