Concept explainers
Interpretation:
The difference between ionic solution and covalent solution needs to be explained.
Concept introduction:
Ionic solutions are those whose constituents are bounded by ionic bond. Covalent solutions are those whose constituents are bounded by Covalent bond.
Answer to Problem 102A
Two clear solutions can be distinguished whether they are ionic or covalent on the basis of their conductivity of electricity. The solution which conducts electricity is ionic solution and the solution which doesn’t conduct electricity is covalent solution.
Explanation of Solution
Ionic solution contains free ions, so due to these free ions ionic solution conducts electricity well whereas covalent solution doesn’t dissociate into ions, so due to absence of free ions covalent solution doesn’t conduct electricity.
Ionic solution conducts electricity whereas covalent solution doesn’t conduct electricity.
