Tips for Success A few more tips may be helpful: There's no way around memorizing element names. Just do it. Rule 7 is far more valuable than most beginners realize.
Can't remember or figure out the charge on the cation? Figure it out for the anion and make it all add up to 0. Water molecules pull the sodium and chloride ions apart, breaking the ionic bond that held them together. After the salt compounds are pulled apart, the sodium and chloride atoms are surrounded by water molecules, as this diagram shows.
Once this happens, the salt is dissolved, resulting in a homogeneous solution. Biochemical Properties of Water - Advanced. Skip to main content. Search Search.

So really, a salt can be described as an ionic compound where a hydrogen ion in an acid is replaced by a metal ion or the ammonium ion. An ionic compound in general has bonding where ions electrostatically attract. Add a comment. Active Oldest Votes. The PhD chemists view of the matter One great problem in chemistry is that there are very few perfectly ionic compounds.

Boron has an unassumingly low electronegativity, but it can form clusters or networks that are electron-deficient with respect to filling their bonding orbitals.
Such aggregates then tend to form predominantly ionic bonds with electropositive metals such as magnesium. Featured on Meta. Now live: A fully responsive profile. Version labels for answers.
