What are ionic compounds? Mention the properties of ionic compounds
Answers
Answer:
compound made up of ions for example NaCL where Na is positive ion and Cl is negative
properties
they are good conductor
they shows isomerism
The electrostatic force of attraction between oppositely charged ions and is formed by the transfer of electrons from vakence shell of metal atom to valence shell of non metal atom is called ionic bond (or) electrovalent bond (or) polar bond.
★ All ionic compounds are crystalline solids and hard in nature
★ Ionic compounds are brittle and have High melting and boiling points .
★ Ionic compounds doesn't exhibit isomerism and Ionic bonds are non-directional
★ Ionic compounds arw polar due to the prescence of oppositely charged ions .
★ Ionic solids conduct electricity in molten state and are also known as electrolytes.
★ They are soluble in polar solvents and insoluble in non polar solvents like ether , toulene and etc
