Why do ionic compound have high elctrical conductivity in the molten state and in water solution?
Ionic compounds are the compounds with dissociate into cations and anions when dissolved in solution. For example regular table salt (NaCl) is a ionic compound when dissolved in water dissociate into Na+ and Cl- , such a solution then can conduct electricity. Pure water with no impurities (no dissolved ions) is a modest insulater. Ionic compounds are combination of a metal and a non-metal.
When magnesium and chlorine react what type of bond is formed?
Magnesium is an s-block element and it forms only ionic bonds with other elements.
Compound 1 has a melting point of 545 degrees celsius and dissolves well in water?
Well, isn't that just lovely? Compound 1 must be quite special with a high melting point like that. And the fact that it dissolves well in water means it can easily interact with other substances and create beautiful new mixtures. Remember, every compound has its own unique characteristics that make it special, just like each happy little tree in a painting.
Why does solid iodine not stick to fingerprints?
iodine is a covalent compound and no ionic properties. there are no free electrons on it. so it can not conduct electricity.
Is sodium carbonate molecular?
It contains both covalent and ionic bonds. In carbonate ion (CO32-) there are covalent bonds (C-O, C-O and C=O). Between carbonate ion (CO32-) and 2 sodium ions (Na-, Na-) there are ionic bonds. Na2CO3 is a salt.
