Question

. What are ionic compounds? Why are they called so? Why they are also called electrovalent compound? Mention some important properties with reasons:

Answer 1

Answer:

bro, it very simple those compunds which are formed by the gaining or losing of electrons are known as ionic bonds. and they are also know as electrovalent means electrons in the valance shell. ionic componds have a high melting and boiling point. ionic bonds are generally hard.

Answer 2

Answer:

an ionic compound is a chemical compound composed of ions held together by electrostatic forces termed ionic bonding. The compound is neutral overall, but consists of positively charged ions called cations and negatively charged ions called anions.

Ionic bond, also called electrovalent bond.

Ionic compounds are formed by the transfer of electron. Due to this a cation and anion exist in ionic compounds and there is a force of attraction exist between these positive and negatively charged ions and these forces are electrovalent in nature. So the ionic compounds are called electrovalent compounds.

1. The ionic bonds are the strongest of all the bonds.
2. The ionic bonds have a charge separation. So, they are the most reactive of all the bonds in the proper medium.
3. The ionic bonded molecules have high melting and boiling point.
4. The ionic bonded molecules in their aqueous solutions or in the molten state are good conductors of electricity. This is due to the presence of ions which acts as charge carriers.
