because living bodies contain water and most of the ionic compounds are soluble in water and are secreted in urine but some are always kept in body for working of the brain and other organs.

What is three ionic compound?

four properties of ionic compound are: 1-All ionic compounds form crystals 2-Ionic compounds are very hard and very brittle 3-Ionic compounds conduct electricity when they dissolve in water 4-Ionic compounds tend to have high melting and boiling points and 3 ionic compounds are: Sodium Chloride - Na Cl Potassium Fluoride - KF Magnesium Chloride - MgCl2


Give the properties of ionic compounds?

Ionic compounds are typically formed between a metal and a nonmetal. They have high melting and boiling points, are soluble in water, and conduct electricity when dissolved in water or as a molten state due to the presence of free ions. Additionally, they tend to have a crystalline structure and are usually hard and brittle.


What temperature do ionic compounds boil?

Ionic compounds do not have a specific boiling temperature as it depends on the specific compound. The boiling point of an ionic compound will generally be higher than that of covalent compounds due to the strong electrostatic forces between the ions.


Why are ionic compounds insoluble in organic compounds?

It isn't strictly true, but generally ionic compounds are not highly soluble in organic solvents because ionic compounds need a highly polar solvent to dissolve well (such as water) and in general organic compounds are not as polar as water. Remember, like dissolves like. However, many ionic compounds are very soluble in a variety of organic solvents, just not as much as in water.


What can be said about the melting point of ionic compounds in general?

Ionic compounds typically have high melting points due to the strong electrostatic forces between the positively and negatively charged ions. These forces require a significant amount of energy to break the ionic bonds and transition the compound from a solid to a liquid state.

Why are ionic compounds not commonly found in living systems?

Ionic compounds are found very frequently in living systems. All of the salt, buffers, blood, etc. contain ionic compounds such as NaCl, KCl, Na3PO4, CaCl2, MgSO4, and on and on.


What properties charaterize ionic compounds?

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

Is potassium iodide ductile?

No. Very few ionic compounds are ductile.


Do ionic compounds make crystalline exist?

To the extent the question makes any sense (i.e. very little): no.Crystals of both ionic and covalent compounds exist.

Ionic compounds generally have higher melting and boiling points.


Are alkali metals found in their uncmobined form?

No. they are all very reactive and are always found as ionic compounds.


Can you list properties of ionic compounds?

Ionic compounds are formed by the attraction between positively and negatively charged ions. They have high melting and boiling points. Ionic compounds are usually solid at room temperature. They conduct electricity when dissolved in water or melted.
