Science anyone?
Please help its due in the morning lol
Answer:
Ionic compounds have strong electrostatic bonds between particles. As a result, they generally have high melting and boiling points. They have good electrical conductivity when molten or in aqueous solution. While ionic inorganic compounds are solids at room temperature and will usually form crystals, organic ionic liquids are increasingly of interest.
They are made up of more than one atom and share electrons.
Posotive and negative?
ionic compounds have high melting points and are usually formed between a non metal and a metal
they also tend to have a higher activation energy, and it takes more energy to break the bonds between molecules
Ionic compounds are basically defined as being compounds where two or more ions are held next to each other by electrical attraction. One of the ions has a positive charge (called a "cation") and the other has a negative charge ("anion").
Take your pick:
All ionic compounds form crystals
Ionic compounds tend to have high melting and boiling points
Ionic compounds are very hard and very brittle.
Ionic compounds conduct electricity when they dissolve in water
Well, I got four: crystalline solids (made of ions),
high melting and boiling points,
conduct electricity when melted, and
many soluble in water but not in nonpolar liquid.
I'll answer to help you learn, not to help you make a late deadline.
Ionic compounds are held together by strong electric attractions between ions. These forces cause the material to be crystalline and sometimes brittle. Most Ionic compounds dissolve in water because of polar charging in water molecules that interact with the ions.
High melting and boiling point. Conduct electricity when melted. Hope this is what you need :)
