write short note on types of compound
Answers
Answer:An Ion is an atom, or group of atoms, that bears an electric charge. The types of compounds referred to 'Ionic compounds' consist of combinations of positively charged ions called CATIONS (which are usually metals - pronounce as 'cat-ion') and negatively charged ions called ANIONS (which are usually non-metals - pronounce as 'an-eye-on'). In general, a compound will have no charge.
Positively charged ions are called cations because they migrate towards the cathode (negative pole) in solution - they tend to lose electrons and form cations
Negatively charged ions are called anions because they migrate towards the positive pole (anode) and are therefore known as anions - non-metals tend to gain electrons and form anions
The positive cations and the negative anions then attract each other to form ionic bonds.
Ionic compounds conduct electricity when dissolved in water or when molten
