What are two statements about salts?

- salts are ionic compounds - salts are products of neutralization reactions


It is true for all compounds Composition of ionic compounds Which is NOT true of compounds Which is?

The statement that all compounds have a composition of ionic compounds is false. Many compounds can be covalent in nature, where atoms share electrons instead of transferring them. On the other hand, it is true that compounds have a definite composition with fixed ratios of elements and compounds are formed by the bonding of two or more different elements.


Most salts are binary ionic compounds. A. True?

True. Most salts are binary ionic compounds composed of a cation from a metallic element and an anion from a nonmetallic element.


Why do ionic compounds need at least one metal?

Ionic compounds do not require the presence of a metal, for example ammonium chloride is ionic and does not contain a metallic element. What is true is that the majority of ionic compounds involve at least one metal.


True or false ionic compounds such as sodium chloride dissolve easily in water?

True


True or false binary ionic compounds consist of two metal elements?

True


Do ionic compounds such as chloride dissolves easily in water?

I classify that as an overstatement. It is true that a great many ionic compounds are highly soluble in water, but not all of them.


Most salts are binary ionic compounds. A.True?

True. Most salts are binary ionic compounds composed of a metal cation and a nonmetal anion.


An ionic compound is made of a nonmetal and a metal true or false?

True. Ionic compounds form between a metal and a nonmetal. The metal loses electrons to become a cation (positively charged ion), while the nonmetal gains these electrons to become an anion (negatively charged ion).


True or false A common ion is common to one or more ionic compounds?

True. A common ion is an ion that is found in more than one ionic compound. These ions are shared among different compounds, which can affect their solubility and reactivity in solutions.


What does it mean when a solution is being neutral?

true


Dipole attraction form bonds in an aqueous solution of ionic compounds true or false?

True. In an aqueous solution of ionic compounds, the positive and negative ions will attract each other due to their opposite charges, forming electrostatic bonds known as dipole attractions.
