  2. Salt (chemistry) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Salt_(chemistry)

    In chemistry, a salt or ionic compound is a chemical compound consisting of an assembly of positively charged ions and negatively charged ions , [1] which results in a compound with no net electric charge (electrically neutral). The constituent ions are held together by electrostatic forces termed ionic bonds.

  3. Chemical compound - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chemical_compound

    An ionic compound is a chemical compound composed of ions held together by electrostatic forces termed ionic bonding. The compound is neutral overall, but consists of positively charged ions called cations and negatively charged ions called anions .

  4. Ion - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ion

    The resulting compound is called an ionic compound, and is said to be held together by ionic bonding. In ionic compounds there arise characteristic distances between ion neighbours from which the spatial extension and the ionic radius of individual ions may be derived. The most common type of ionic bonding is seen in compounds of metals and ...

  5. Ammonium iodide - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ammonium_iodide

    Ammonium iodide is the inorganic compound with the formula NH 4 I. A white solid. It is an ionic compound, although impure samples appear yellow. This salt consists of ammonium cation and an iodide anion. [1] It can be prepared by the action of hydroiodic acid on ammonia.

  6. Lithium chloride - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lithium_chloride

    Lithium chloride is a chemical compound with the formula Li Cl.The salt is a typical ionic compound (with certain covalent characteristics), although the small size of the Li + ion gives rise to properties not seen for other alkali metal chlorides, such as extraordinary solubility in polar solvents (83.05 g/100 mL of water at 20 °C) and its hygroscopic properties.

  7. Ionic bonding - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ionic_bonding

    Ionic bonding is a type of chemical bonding that involves the electrostatic attraction between oppositely charged ions, or between two atoms with sharply different electronegativities, [1] and is the primary interaction occurring in ionic compounds.

  8. Ionic liquid - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ionic_liquid

    Low-temperature ionic liquids (below 130 K) have been proposed as the fluid base for an extremely large diameter spinning liquid-mirror telescope to be based on the Moon. [25] Water is a common impurity in ionic liquids, as it can be absorbed from the atmosphere and influences the transport properties of RTILs, even at relatively low ...

  9. Potassium iodide - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Potassium_iodide

    Potassium iodide is an ionic compound which is made of the following ions: K + I −. It crystallises in the sodium chloride structure. It is produced industrially by treating KOH with iodine. [36] It is a white salt, which is the most commercially
