Are all ionic compounds polar

Answer 1

Chemical polarity, also known as bond polarity or simply polarity, is a concept in chemistry which describes how http://www.answers.com/topic/chemical-bond http://www.answers.com/topic/electron are shared between http://www.answers.com/topic/atom. It is a physical property of compounds and affects other physical properties such as http://www.answers.com/topic/solubility, http://www.answers.com/topic/melting-point and http://www.answers.com/topic/boiling-point. Polarity also affects http://www.answers.com/topic/intermolecular-force, leading to some compounds or molecules within compounds being labelled as polar or non-polar. Formula Description Example {| ! rowspan="5" | Polar | AB Linear Molecules CO HAx Molecules with a single H HCl AxOH Molecules with an OH at one end C2H5OH OxAy Molecules with an O at one end H2O NxAy Molecules with an N at one end NH3 ! rowspan="2" | Nonpolar | Ax All elements O2 CxAy Most carbon compounds CO2 Non-polar covalent bond: 0.0-0.4 Slightly polar bond: 0.5-0.9 Moderately polar bond: 1-1.3 Highly polar bond: 1.4-1.7 Slightly ionic bond: 1.8-2.2 Ionic Bond: 2.3+ |}

Answer 2

Yes absolutely. Think about salt (sodium chloride), it is something that we dissolve in water everyday for our food because water is a polar solvent. So "like dissolves like" polar solute always dissolves in polar solvent.

Answer 3

No, ionic bond is only the ionic, the terms polar and nonpolar are used for covalent bonds only.

Answer 4

No it could not be. They ionic because of they are ionic.

Answer 5

Polar compound

Answer 6

An ionic bond is very polar.

Answer 7

polar

Answer 8

yes.
