Which two properties are characteristic of ionic compounds?

Chemistry
2 answers:
Sedaia [141]3 years ago

Ionic compounds have high enthalpy of fusion and high enthalpy of vaporization. High heat is required to melt and vaporize ionic compounds because ionic compounds are formed between cation and anion and the oppositely charged ions are held by strong electrostatic force of attraction.  

Ionic compounds form crystal lattice in which there is alternate arrangement of cation and anion in an array of three dimensional space. Ionic compounds do not form amorphous solids.

They are colourless solids (salts) that do not conduct electricity when solid, but conduct electricity in aqueous solution as the ions (that carry charge) are free to move.

They have a high melting point due to the strong electrostatic forces of attraction between oppositely charged ions

Best regards

A proton is also known as this symbol, _____ ion.
mr Goodwill [35]
Hydrogen ion, strictly, the nucleus of a hydrogen atom separated from its accompanying electron. The hydrogen nucleus is made up of a particle carrying a unit positive electric charge, called a proton. The isolated hydrogen ion, represented by the symbol H+, is therefore customarily used to represent a proton.

What are units used for specific gravity? its 20 points ;)
Amanda [17]

Answer:

Explanation: Specific gravity is a dimensionless quantity; that is, it is not expressed in units. To find the sp gr of a solid or liquid, you must know its density in kilograms per meter cubed (kg/m3) or in grams per centimeter cubed (g/cm3). Then, divide this density by the density of pure water in the same units.
