Answer: conducts electricity and heat efficiently, resists melting at high temperatures.
Explanation: Ionic compounds are formed by transference of electrons and leads to generation of cations and anions which are held by strong coloumbic forces. eg: NaCl
Ionic compounds when dissolved in water dissociates into ions and thus are good conductors of heat and electricity.
They are conductors not insulators.
They have very high melting points as they are held by strong coloumbic forces.
They dissociate into ions when dissolved in water.
In every balanced chemical equation, each side of the equation has the same number of <u>atoms</u> of reactants and products.
For example, let's take this chemical equation.
This is the chemical equation for carbon monoxide reacting with dihydrogen to form octane and water.
8 CO + 17 H2 → C8H18 + 8 H2O
On this side, we have 8 carbon monoxide atoms and 34 dihydrogen atoms.
On the other side, we have 8 carbon atoms and 18 hydrogen atoms + 16 hydrogen atoms.
Therefore, even though the coefficients are different there is still an equal number of atoms on each side.
8 Carbon Monoxide , 34 Dihydrogen = 8 Carbon Monoxide + 34 Dihydrogen
a solution is two substances that are evenly mixed together. One of them is called the solute and the other is the solvent. A solute is the substance to be dissolved (ex: sugar). The solvent is the one doing the dissolving (ex: water).
i learned this in science last year i hope this helped :)
Electrical energy changes to heat energy
