Concept explainers
Interpretation:
The way of identification of an ionic and a covalent compound in a solution is to be determined.
Concept introduction:
Ionic compound: A compound is ionic if it contains positive and negative ions.
Covalent compound: Covalent compound is formed by sharing of electrons.
Answer to Problem 112A
Ionic solution will conduct electricity and covalent solution will not conduct electricity.
Explanation of Solution
As the ionic compound contains charges, it conducts electricity. But covalent compound don’t contain charges, it don’t conduct electricity.
