I'm assuming you're using water as a solvent. Ionic bonds are not like covalent bonds in that two ions in an ionic compound are only greatly attracted to each other without an real "bonding" per se. Water itself is a polar compound (that is, one side carries a slight positive charge around the hydrogens and one side carries a slightly negative charge around the oxygen). Ionic compounds, when added to water, dissociate into their base ions when they come into contact with the polar water molecules. This holds true for most other solvents as well.
What else can I help you with?
What ionic compound will dissolve in water to release exactly three ions?
Not quite sure what the questioner is aiming at. Group 2 halides , such as MgCl2 dissolve to give 3 ions. Compounds such as alum, KAl(SO4)2.12H2O which dissolves to give K+, Al3+, SO42- dissolve to give 3 different sorts of ions.
Why should you not expect the halides ions to dissolve in mineral oil?
halide ions strongly interact with the counter-ions. However, mineral oil is non-polar. To dissolve the halide ions (and the counter-ions) into mineral oil would drastically raise system energy. Thus it does not work. More simply, halide ions have a charge and won't easily dissolve in non-polar substances, since like-dissolves-like.
What will happen to the sodium nitrate when it is put in water?
When sodium nitrate is put in water, it will dissociate into sodium ions and nitrate ions. This process is known as dissolution. The compound will fully dissolve in water, forming a clear, colorless solution.
Acids or bases dissolve in water to produce H?
Acids dissolve in water to produce H+ ions, while bases dissolve in water to produce OH- ions. This process is known as ionization or dissociation, and it is a key characteristic of acidic and basic solutions.
What will dissolve in water copper electrode and silver electrode?
Copper electrode will dissolve in water to form copper ions, while silver electrode will not dissolve in water as silver is relatively unreactive. Copper ions will be present in the water solution after dissolving the copper electrode.
MgCl2 will dissolve in water to form?
MgCl2 will dissolve in water to form magnesium ions (Mg2+) and chloride ions (Cl-) in solution.
What ions are formed when hydrochloric acid dissolve in water?
These ions are H+ and Cl-.
When salts dissolve in water they undergo?
when salts dissolve in water they undergo dissociation into corresponding ions.

What will you see when you dissolve potassium chloride with water?
Potassium chloride is soluble in water, so when you dissolve it, a colourless solution will be observed. I hope this helps!
