Ionic compounds are also known as electrovalent compounds. The chemical bond formed by the transfer of electrons from one atom to another is known as Ionic bond. These compounds contain ions. Through ...

Cations can be identified with flame tests or precipitate tests using sodium hydroxide and ammonia solutions. Anions (halide, sulfate, and carbonate ions) can be identified using precipitate tests or ...

The formula of an ionic compound can be deduced from the formulae of its ions. Remember that for the metal elements in groups 1, 2, and 3 the charge on the ion can be deduced by how many outer shell ...
