    We'll look at what happens when you dissolve ionic and covalent compounds in water. Ionic compounds break apart into the ions that make them up, a process called dissociation, while covalent compounds only break into the molecules, not the individual atoms.

    you're right, they're very strong. but Na+ would rather be surrounded by water than by Cl-, so it is willing to float away from the Cl- if that means that it will be able to have a lot of contact with water. i'll do a video on this shortly. the process is known as "dissociation" and "solvation." there might be some good videos others have made on this. great questions!

    • @mpag6195
      @mpag6195 Před 2 lety

      I am confused on the process that NaCl breaks up into its atoms in water. would this not mean that the Cl would be released as a gas and the Na be left in the water to react?

    • @carmelo_gonzalez
      @carmelo_gonzalez Před rokem

      @@mpag6195 What you are talking about is a physical change occurring. There is no physical change occurring when an ionic compound dissolves in a solution by a solvent. What ends up happening is that intermolecular forces occur between the individual ionic atoms and the atoms of the solvent (in this case the solvent is water).

My esteem isn’t measured by likes, it’s measured by successes and I’m happy to say that I’m graduating with a bachelors of science in biology with minor in psychology this year so I guess you were wrong... Don’t worry, I don’t expect you to have grown from your incorrect assumption from a year ago, nor do I expect an apology, as that would show too much emotional intelligence and this time, it looks like you’re the one without it.

I like the way you physically demonstrate how something works using your hands' gestures and body language which I think are the core forms of communication. Also, your tone of voice, not loud, not low, and not coarse or faster. It is just the right combination of how a genius like yourself gives meaning to a difficult subject to an uncommitted or disinterested audience until some of them develop interest and yearn to learn about the subject. Thank you!!

    • @tdewitt451
      @tdewitt451  Před 8 lety +117

      What we think of as "salty" is the taste of Na+ ions. It is impossible to taste salt without dissolving the NaCl. Think about this: dry your tongue completely and then pour salt on it. You can't taste anything with a totally dry tongue. You need to be able to dissolve the salt in order to taste it. And what you taste isn't undissolved salt, but mostly Na+ ions.

    • @zer0kelvin212
      @zer0kelvin212 Před 6 lety +4

      Hello, my hypothesis would be that pure Na and pure Cl are highly reactive and highly unstable individually. Na will mostly bond with a halogen and Cl will bond with other(s) atom(s). If you take Sodium alone, it can be easily oxidized because it has a lonely electron to lose, being in the Group 1. The Na wants to get rid of this extra electron. Therefore, the electron contains a lot of potential energy to lose, which makes its reaction with water explosive. As for Cl, it is the second best oxydant, which means that it is the second strongest stealer of electrons. But NaCl combined together is a different molecule therefore it has different chemical property. Cl really attracts the electron and Na really wants to get rid of its electron, so they combine well together and become more stable and less reactive so their reaction in water doesn't realease enough energy to create so much heat or explosion. please correct me if my hypothesis is wrong.

    • @carlosrios5363
      @carlosrios5363 Před 6 lety +10

      its because when any ionic compound dissovles in water, their ionic bond is not broken, even though water seperates the atoms in the solution. that is why salt in water is still salty as the connections between nacl is still present, which means they still will have same physical properties.
