Explain how a water molecule can be attracted to both a positive ion and a negative ion when dissolving an ionic compound?
The shape and charge distribution in a water molecule cause it to have a permanent dipole moment, which consist of a positive electric charge and a negative charge separated by a distance in space. Therefore, the part of a water molecule that corresponds to the negative charge of its dipole moment is attracted to positive ions, and the part of a water molecule that corresponds to the positive charge of its dipole moment is attracted to negative ions.
What type of ionic compound does the positive ion of a base and the negative ion of an acid combine to form?
When the positive ion of a base combines with the negative ion of an acid, they form a salt compound. The positive ion from the base combines with the negative ion from the acid through an ionic bond to create a neutral compound known as a salt.
Which liquid solvents are best for dissolving ionic compounds and why?
Polar solvents such as water, alcohols, and acetone are best for dissolving ionic compounds because they have the ability to break apart the strong ionic bonds in the compound due to their positive and negative charges. This allows the individual ions to be surrounded and solvated by the solvent molecules, leading to the dissolution of the ionic compound.
What type of compound has positive and negative charges?
The material you are referring to is called a zwitterionic material, or on ocassion and amphoteric laterial. These materials carry both a positive and negative point charge on the same molecule.
How can ionic compounds be neutral if they consist of positive and negative ions?
Ionic compounds are neutral because, even though they consist of positive and negative ions, the relative proportions between those ions are such that the total number of negative charges is the same as the total number of positive charges, thus summing to zero.
Is the lattice energy of a compound positive or negative?
The lattice energy of a compound is always negative.

What is the purpose of a compound gauge?
The compound gauge is an instrument to measure pressures, positive or negative.
Does a covalent compound have balanced negative and positive charges?
Yes
What does zero mean?
Zero is an integer separating positive from negative numbers. Thus literally it means "nothing"

What is the electric charge of an ion compound?
The total positive charge of an ionic compound equally balances the total negative charge; therefore, the ionic compound is electrically neutral.
The Compound potassium iodide the positive component?
Potassium iodide is a compound made of K+ and I- ions. So potassium is the positive part of it.
How can ionic compounds be neutral if they consist of positive and negative ions?
Ionic compounds are neutral because, even though they consist of positive and negative ions, the relative proportions between those ions are such that the total number of negative charges is the same as the total number of positive charges, thus summing to zero.
When ions having a positive charge form bonds with ions having a negative charge the charge on the resulting compound is what?
The charge is 0 if the positive and negative charges were equal
