Describe ionic compounds on the basis of the following properties:
a. Strong force of attraction between positive and negative ions
b. Solubility of compounds in water
c. Electrical conductivity
Answers
Answer:
Ionic compounds have strong forces of attraction due to the presence of opposite charges.
Ionic compounds are readily soluble in water as like dissolves like.
Ionic compounds have high electrical conductivity.
Explanation:
Ionic compounds are defined as the compounds in which atoms are chemically combined together by transfer of electrons from one atom to another.
When one atom loses electrons then it acquires a positive charge and when one atom gains an electron then it acquires a negative charge. Due to the presence of these opposite charges there exists strong forces of attraction between the ions of an ionic compound.
All ionic compounds are readily soluble in a polar solvent like water. And, when they are added to water then they readily dissociate into ions. As a result, ionic compounds are able to conduct heat and electricity.
For example, NaCl is an ionic compound and when it is added to water it readily dissociates into Na^{+}Na
+
and Cl^{-}Cl
−
ions. Hence, it is able to conduct electricity.
