H2O is a covalent compound. As hydrogen has only one electron in its outer most shell and oxygen has six electrons in its last shell. Oxygen needs two, while hydrogen requires only one electron to complete its last octave. So oxygen form two covalent bond with two hydrogen atoms. So, water is a covalent compound, but as oxygen is second most electronegative element in the Periodic Table so due to its high electronegativity the bond no more remains pure covalent, but converted to polar covalent. Hence, water molecule is a polar covalent compound.
An ionic compound dissociated in water is an electrolyte and is of course more conductive..
Sodium chloride is a polar compound as water.
The two types of compound are molecular and ionic. An ionic compound commonly used is table salt, or NaCl. A molecular compound commonly used is water, or H2O.
The physical association of water with a compound is called hydration. Water molecules surround and interact with the ions or molecules of the compound, forming a hydrated complex.
Zyban is not an ionic compound.
When ionic bonds are put in water, the ions in the compound dissociate due to the polar nature of water molecules. The positive ions are attracted to the oxygen atoms of water, while the negative ions are attracted to the hydrogen atoms. This results in the formation of hydrated ions and the compound dissolving in water.
Water contains no ionic bonds as it is a covalent compound.
ionic!!!
Yes, ionic compounds can form hydrates by attracting and binding water molecules within their structure. This results in the formation of hydrated compounds with a specific number of water molecules associated with each formula unit of the ionic compound.
A hydratd ionic solid is one that contains water. THis used to be called water of crystallisaion. Tthe formulae of such ionic solids is written as say CoCl2.(H2O)6. Sometimes the water molecules are grouped around the cation and are said to be coordiated to it. Sometimes water molecule(s) are not bound to the cation. An example of a salt with both sorts is CoCl2.(H2O)6. In this 4 water molecules and two chloride ions surround the Co2+ ion and two water molecules are not coordinated.
An ionic compound in water is dissociated forming ions.
It is an Ionic compound just as water is.
ionic However, it should be noted that not all ionic compounds are water soluble.
It is an ionic compound and also has a molecule.
No. Water is a polar covalent compound.
An ionic compound dissolved in water form cations and anions.
Table salt, which is sodium chloride, is an ionic compound.
