Ionic compounds conduct electricity as liquids and in solution.
Compounds that can exist in all three states of matter (liquid, solid, gas) are called volatile compounds. Examples include ethanol, water, carbon dioxide, and ammonia. These compounds have varying boiling and melting points which allow them to exist in different states under different conditions.
Molecular compounds are not always written in their lowest ratio because the ratio may not simplify further without changing the identity of the compound. Additionally, different ratios can exist due to isomers, which are compounds with the same molecular formula but different structural arrangements.
Compounds that can exist in solid, liquid, or gas states are typically those that have a range of intermolecular forces. This includes substances like water, carbon dioxide, and ammonia, which can transition between states depending on temperature and pressure. These compounds often exhibit properties such as hydrogen bonding or van der Waals forces, enabling their phase changes under different conditions. Additionally, many organic compounds, particularly those with lower molecular weights, can also exist in all three states.
Molecular compounds are most commonly found in the solid and liquid phases of matter. In the solid phase, they typically form crystalline or amorphous structures, while in the liquid phase, they exist as discrete molecules interacting through intermolecular forces. Some molecular compounds can also exist in the gaseous phase under certain temperature and pressure conditions, but they are less stable as gases compared to ionic compounds.
Covalent.. A+
No, covalent compounds can exist in various physical states at room temperature, not just as crystalline solids. They can also be found as liquids or gases depending on their molecular structure and intermolecular forces. Examples include water (liquid) and methane (gas).
Molecular compounds can exist in various states at room temperature, including gases (e.g. oxygen and nitrogen), liquids (e.g. water and ethanol), and solids (e.g. sugar and salt). The state of a molecular compound at room temperature depends on factors such as the intermolecular forces present and the molecular structure.
Ionic compounds conduct electricity as liquids and in solution.
The properties of both ionic and molecular compounds are related to their chemical bonding. Ionic compounds have strong electrostatic interactions between positively and negatively charged ions, resulting in high melting points and conductivity when dissolved in water. Molecular compounds have covalent bonds between atoms and tend to have lower melting points, are usually not conductive, and can exist as gases, liquids, or solids at room temperature.
Ionic compounds typically exist as solids at room temperature, regardless of the state of matter of other compounds. This is because ionic compounds have strong electrostatic interactions between positive and negative ions, which hold them together in a solid crystal lattice structure.
Not usually no. However, covalently bonded polymers will often have crystalline domains - these are called spherulites. So the polymer is rarely perfectly amorphous. PET is one such polymer. see related link for more information.
Yes, molecular compounds are formed through covalent bonding where atoms share electrons to form molecules. These molecules can exist as separate entities due to the strong bonds between the atoms.
Oh, dude, so like, ionic compounds are made up of ions, which are like charged particles, so they exist as ions in their pure state. And molecular compounds are made up of molecules, which are like groups of atoms held together by chemical bonds, so they exist as molecules in their pure state. It's like, basic chemistry, man.

Ionic compounds such as sodium chloride (NaCl) and metallic compounds like steel do not exist in independent molecular form. These compounds are made up of ions or atoms arranged in a lattice structure, rather than discrete molecules.
