Which of the following compounds would you expect to conduct electricity when
dissolved in water?
answer choices are:
NaF because it is a covalent compound
NaF because it is a ionic compound
CH4 because it is an ionic compound
CH4 because it is a covalent compoud

B; NaF because it is a ionic compound

Explanation:

First off, just looking at A and C, you can eliminate them because they are inherently false statements:

A) NaF is not covalent; it is ionic because it is made up of a metal (Na) and a nonmetal (F)

C) CH4 is not ionic; it is covalent because it is solely made up of nonmetals (C and H)

Now, a property of ionic compounds is that when they are either molten (melted) or dissolved, they melt in water. Covalent compounds are NOT good conductors of electricity.

Thus, B (NaF because it is a ionic compound) is the answer.

nacl or sodium chloride is an ionic compound. this is because an ionic compound pertains to a compound that consists of positively and negatively charged ions. in this case, na (sodium) has a tendency to lose one electron when it reacts with with other atoms, so the resulting sodium ion contains 11 protons and 10 electrons, thus making it positively charged (na+), when chlorine reacts, it usually gains one electron to form an ion called chloride, thus making it negatively charged ( since the ions are oppositely charged, they attract.
