D. A mixture
If the water is evaporating while the salt remains, it means the two are not chemically bonded and therefore are not a compound.
No, they do not. It is not true.
The compound which is ionic is Kh
Kh is ionic because ionic compound is made between a metal and a non metal. K( potassium) is a metal while H (hydrogen) is a non metal. The bond between potassium and hydrogen form ionic bond whereby potassium loses one electron and hydrogen gain one electron to form an ionic compound.
Ionic bond is formed between positive and negative ions.
Positive ion is known as cation (electropositive metal)
Negative ion is known as anion ( electronegative non-metal)
The bond formed between a metal (positive ion) and non-metal (negative ions) is known as Ionic bond.
Ionic form is formed when one or more electrons from the valence shell of an atom (electropositive metal ) are completely transferred to the valence shell of another atom (electronegative non-metal). Ionic bonding is the complete transfer of valence electron(s) between oppositely charged atoms.
For example: Bond between NaCl(sodium chloride) is an ionic bond in which Na (sodium ) is positive ion(metal) which have +1 charge and Cl (chlorine) is negative ion(non-metal) which have -1 charge and the bond formed between Na+ and Cl- is ionic bond.
