An unknown compound dissolves in water but the solution does not conduct electricity?
If a compound dissolves into water and allows for the conductance of electrical current its said to be ionic and an electrolyte. Sodium chloride (NaCl) or table salt exhibits this property. Sugar is a compound that will dissolve in water but not conduct current. Sugar is not an electrolyte or ionic; rather a covalent molecule.
Is water an ionic compound that can dissolve only ions?
No. Water is a largely covalent compound that spontaneously ionizes only to give concentrations of 10-7 molar for each of hydrogen and hydroxide ions. However water also has a high dielectric constant and for that reason can dissolve many ionic compounds. Water can also dissolve sufficiently polar organic compounds, such as sugar, with little or no trace of ionic character.
What is the bond types of ICl3 N20 and LiCl your choices are covalent ionic and metallic?
ICl3 is covalent N2O is covalent LiCl is ionic
Is H2CO3 ionic or covalent?
H2CO3 is a covalent compound. It is composed of nonmetals, which typically form covalent bonds by sharing electrons.
Is Co2 CO3 3 ionic or covalent?
Covalent; 2 non-metals bonded are covalent; a metal and a non-metal are ionic
Is sugar ionic polar covalent or non polar covalent?
Polar Covalent
Is table sugar an ionic substance?
No, table sugar (sucrose) is a covalent compound, not an ionic substance. It is composed of carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen atoms held together by covalent bonds.
Is sugar ionic covalent or metallic?
Sugar is a covalent compound. It is made up of carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen atoms bonded together through covalent bonds.
Is candle wax ionic polar covalent or nonpolar covalent also what type of bonding does sugar salt and olive oil have?
Candle wax is covalent! Olive oil is non polar covalent. Because it can not disolve in water and water is polar.
What is covalent water?
The water molecule has a covalent bond. Since there is no other kind of water, "covalent water" is redundant. That's what water is. There is no ionic water (although ionic compounds often dissolve in water).
What is the conductivity of an organic compound in water?
If it is a completely covalent compound, such as sugar, none; if it is ionic, such as acetic acid, it can conduct electricity.
Is sugar polar or ionic?
Sugar is polar because it has polar covalent bonds between its atoms. Ionic compounds have ionic bonds where electrons are transferred from one atom to another, creating positive and negative ions. Sugar does not have ions.
When salt or sugar is dissolved in water why is salt an eletrolyte and sugar is not?
Sugar is a covalent compound and doesn't separate into ionic constituents in water. Salt is an ionic compound and the constituent ions in the solid are held in place by electrostatic attraction. In water, the ions of the salt dissociate and disperse into the sugar/water matrix. These dissociated ions then support electric current.
Is water a ionic?
No. Water is a polar covalent compound.
Is water a covalent or ionic compound?
Mainly covalent see external link
Is Water is an example of an ionic compound?
Water contains no ionic bonds as it is a covalent compound.
Why can both salt and sugar dissolve in water, despite salt being ionic and sugar being covalent?
Both salt and sugar can dissolve in water because water is a polar molecule, meaning it has a positive and negative end. This allows water to interact with the positive and negative ions in salt, breaking them apart and dissolving the salt. Similarly, water can interact with the polar covalent bonds in sugar, breaking them apart and dissolving the sugar.
