its so simple when ionic compounds are dissolved in water they get ionized and convert into ions, like in case of NaCl when it is dissolved in water it ionize into sodium Na ion and chloride cl- ion.

What bond are disrupted in the presence of water?
Water disrupts many ionic bonds, causing the ionic compound to dissolve in the water.
What is the name for ionic compounds to dissolve in water?
Aqueous. represented by an "aq" next to an element or in a compound.
Do ionic bonds dissolve in water?
This is a wrong question. Ionic bonding is a term referring to the attractive forces between the charged ions of an ionic compound. If you meant to ask " Do ionic compounds dissolve in water? ", the answer is yes. Most of them do. This is because the polar water molecules are easily separate the ions in the ionic solid. However, for unknown reasons, some ionic compounds do not dissolve in water. An example is Silver Chloride.
What are the two types of ion found in an ionic compound when dissolve in water?
They are: cation (positive) and anion (negative).
What causes an ionic compound to dissolve in water?
The polarity of the water molecule causes an ionic compound to dissolve in water. The slightly negative oxygen atoms of the water molecules attract the positive ions, and the slightly positive hydrogen atoms of the water molecules attract the negative ions. This breaks the ionic bonds and the ions are surrounded by water molecules, preventing them from reforming ionic bonds. Refer to the related link for an illustration and more information.
Why does table salt Na-Cl dissolve readily in water?
It is an Ionic compound just as water is.
What bond are disrupted in the presence of water?
Water disrupts many ionic bonds, causing the ionic compound to dissolve in the water.
Why does table salt (NaCI) dissolve readily in water?
it is an ionic compound.
What tests you could use to discover if a compound were ionic or molecular?
Dissolve them in water. If the solution conducts electricity, then the solute is an ionic compound. If not, then it is a molecular compound.
What type of compound will not dissolve in water?
A) nonpolar compounds will not dissolve in water because water is polar
Why does salt dissolve in a solevant?
Because salt is an ionic compound is easily dissolved in water.
What property is sodium chloride dissolve in water?
Sodium chloride is an ionic, polar compound.
What is the Reaction of an ion with water called?
Dissolve, solution An ionic compound, when dissolved in water, conducts electricity.
Sodium chloride dissolves in water because it is a?
Sodium chloride dissolve in water because it is an ionic compound.
What property of salt makes it desolve in water?
NaCl or Salt is an ionic compound made up of atoms. One of the properties of an ionic compound is that it can dissolve in water and split into separate ions.
Why would ionic compound be more likely to dissolve in water in oil?
An ionic compound can form interactions with water. Water happens to be a polar molecule. The positive ions are going to react with the partially charged negative ions (that are in the water). The negative ions will react with the partially positive charged hydrogen atoms in the water. But the ionic compound won't dissolve in oil because it can't form the same reaction.
What is the name for ionic compounds to dissolve in water?
Aqueous. represented by an "aq" next to an element or in a compound.
