Aqueous. represented by an "aq" next to an element or in a compound.
When naming binary ionic compounds, the suffix of the anion's name is changed to "-ide." For covalent compounds, the suffix of the anion's name does not change.
Binary ionic compounds are named by first stating the name of the cation (metal) followed by the name of the anion (nonmetal) with an -ide ending.
The correct ionic name for potash is potassium ions. Potash typically refers to potassium-rich compounds such as potassium chloride or potassium carbonate that release potassium ions when dissolved in water.
Metals in ionic compounds are named by using the metal's elemental name followed by the nonmetal's name with an "-ide" ending (e.g. sodium chloride). Nonmetals in ionic compounds use the nonmetal's elemental name followed by the metal's name with an "-ide" ending (e.g. oxygen and magnesium make magnesium oxide). Polyatomic ions maintain their specific names in ionic compounds (e.g. sulfate, nitrate, carbonate).
No, the metal is named first in binary ionic compounds. The name of the metal cation is followed by the name of the nonmetal anion, with the nonmetal's name ending in "-ide". For example, NaCl is named sodium chloride.
A "salt" is another name for ionic compounds

There are two main types of compounds: molecular compounds and ionic compounds. Molecular compounds are formed by sharing electrons between atoms, while ionic compounds are formed through the transfer of electrons between atoms. Examples of molecular compounds include water (H2O) and carbon dioxide (CO2), while examples of ionic compounds include sodium chloride (NaCl) and potassium iodide (KI).
- all metal salts are ionic compounds - many salts are soluble in water and are dissociated
potassium nitrate
The correct ionic name for potash is potassium ions. Potash typically refers to potassium-rich compounds such as potassium chloride or potassium carbonate that release potassium ions when dissolved in water.
Many ionic compounds share several key physical properties, including high melting and boiling points due to the strong electrostatic forces between ions. They are typically crystalline solids at room temperature, forming structured lattices. Additionally, ionic compounds are usually soluble in water and conduct electricity when dissolved in water or melted, as the ions are free to move.
A substance that does not dissolve in water is called insoluble.
oil does not dissolve at all in water.
Ionic compounds are the most common compounds that dissolve in water because they have positive and negative dipoles. The positive and negative dipoles of water attract the negative and positive dipoles of the ionic compound, pulling it apart between the dipoles. However, certain non-ionic substances also dissolve easily in water. For example, sugar and alcoholic beverages made with alcohols such as ethanol are also soluble in water. Ethanol is especially soluble in water because the molecule contains a polar O—H bond like those in water. Because it is similar to the form of an H20 molecule, it bonds to the H20 as if it were one. Similarly, the sugar molecule has many polar O—H molecules that can also bond with water molecules.
This is called lead(II) iodide.
