Concept explainers
Interpretation :
Properties of the ionic compounds needs to be explained.
Concept Introduction :
Ionic compounds-Compounds that consist of the ionic form of elements are known as ionic compounds. Atoms that gain or lose electrons are converted into ions, ions may carry a negative charge or positive charge.
Answer to Problem 49A
The properties differentiated between non-ionic and ionic compounds are:
Electrical conductivity
The crystal form of structure,
Melting and boiling point,
Texture of crystal
Explanation of Solution
The ionic compounds are formed by the loss or gain of the electrons. They are bonded with an ionic bond, where the transfer of electrons taking place. The non-ionic compounds are bonded with a covalent bond. The covalent bond is formed by the sharing of the electrons.
The ionic compounds are hard and brittle and they can conduct the electricity.
Many properties are representing the ionic compounds; they have higher melting and boiling point and have higher enthalpies of fusion which differentiate them from the nonionic compounds.
