Firstly, you need to understand that mass= moles x relative formula mass. Using this equation and the understanding of the periodic table, you can work out the relative atomic mass of carbon which is 12 a...

Ionic bonding occurs between metallic and non-metallic atoms. Electrons are transferred from metal atoms to non-metal atoms. This results in positively charged metal ions and negatively charged non-metal ...

Electricity is conducted by electrons or ions. In order for an ionic compound to conduct electricity, the ions must be able to move freely and carry the charge throughout the solution. A solid ionic compo...
