Ionic compounds are a type of chemical compound where the oppositely-charged ions of a metal and a nonmetal are attracted to each other to form an ionic bond. The compound formed from the bonded ions will have very different properties from the elements that make up the compound....

For an ionic compound to dissolve, the electrostatic bonds holding the ions in their rigid crystal lattice must be replaced by attractions between ions and solvent molecules. Each ion becomes surrounded by solvent molecules, as shown in the diagram. Solvation of ionic compounds in polar solvents ...

Ionic compound? « Reply #1 on: September 06, 2010, 02:47:32 AM » The definition of ionic bonds are not bonds formed between a metal ion and a nonmetal ion. Rather it's the bond between cations and anions as in the example you gave--ammonium nitrate. I think people sometimes ...
1. Compounds between metal and nonmetal elements are usually ionic. 2. If you recognize the formula of a polyatomic ion in a compound, the compound is ionic. (Groups of atoms with an overall charge, called polyatomic ions, also exist.) 3.4: Ionic Nomenclature To use the rules for naming ...
For a basic ionic compound, (one that uses a metal cation and a non-metal anion) the metal cation simply uses the name of the element, and the non-metal anion uses the name of the element with the suffix changed to -ide. For example: Chlorine becomes Chloride Sulfur becomes Sulfide Bro...
If the subscripts can be reduced to simpler ratios, then simplify if needed. Answer and Explanation: The metal aluminum, Al, and the nonmetal oxygen, O, can undergo ionic bonding to form the ionic compound aluminum oxide. The chemical formula of this......
To form a neutral ionic compound, iron must have a charge of +3. So, the name for this metal is iron (III). 2) Now identify and name the nonmetal In this case, the nonmetal is the polyatomic oxoanion, hydroxide (OH−). Wait a second, hydroxide has the -ide ending. That's ...
An ionic bond is a type of chemical bond that involves a metal and a nonmetal ion (or polyatomic ions such as ammonium) through electrostatic attraction. In short, it is a bond formed by the attraction between two oppositely charged ions. ...
