Which two properties are characteristic of ionic compounds?

Chemistry
2 answers:
Sedaia [141]3 years ago
6 0

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

WILL GIVE BRAINLIEST, Which of the following would have the greatest amount of surface area?
Elodia [21]

Answer:

C. 1 cubic foot of loose sand

Explanation:

For many  objects having equal volume , surface area will be maximum

of the object which has spherical shape .

But when a sphere is broken into tiny small spheres , total surface area of all the small spheres will be more than surface area of big sphere .

Hence among the given option , surface area of loose sand will have greatest surface area . Loose sand is equivalent to small spheres .

What three things act on decaying organisms to help form fossil fuels
dimulka [17.4K]
<span>The fossil fuels form from the buried remains of ancient organisms, </span>formed from the remains of dead plants and animals.
<span> These plants and animals that have been converted to crude oil, coal, natural gas, or heavy oils by exposure to heat and pressure in the earth's crust over hundreds of millions of years. So, three things that act on decaying organisms to help form fossil fuels are:
-pressure
-heat
-physical and chemical changes
People  use fossil fuels products for transportation and heating, many power plants burn coal for heat to turn turbines that generate electrical energy. ...</span>

How much heat is released when 47.50 g of CH4 (g) is burned in excess oxygen gas to produce carbon dioxide and water?
Elina [12.6K]

Answer:

= 2113.44 kJ

Explanation:

When 1 mole of CH4 (g) burns in excess oxygen -714.0 kJ of heat is released.

For 47.50 g;

molar mass of CH4 = 16.042 g/mol

Number of moles of CH4

   = 47.5 g /16.042 g/mol

   = 2.96 moles

Therefore;

1 mole = -714.0 kJ

Heat change for 2.96 moles

 = 2.96 moles × -714.0 kJ

 = 2113.44 kJ

Which of the following chemical formulas represents a molecule?<br><br><br> H2 CO2 SiO2 NH3
astraxan [27]

Answer:

H2

Explanation:

H (or hydrogen), being a halogen, as an atom, has 7 valence electrons. This means that it naturally bonds with another atom of the same isotope in order to reach the desired total of valence electrons: 8.

So... H+H = H2. EZ
