The coordination number of an ion indicates the number of ions of opposite charge that surrounds the ion in a crystal. When melted or in aqueous solution, ionic compounds can conduct electricity because the ions can move freely when a voltage is applied. 15.3 Bonding in Metals Metals are like ionic compounds in some ways. ...

Acids and bases are compounds that, when added to an aqueous solution, change the amounts of H3O+ and OH- ions in solution. ... What is important to your understanding of acids and bases is this one fact: No matter how much acid you put into a solution, there are still some OH- ions floating around due to auto ionization of water that constantly takes place, and no matter how basic you make a solution, there is still some H3O+ present in that solution. A solution containing H3O+ can be basic, because there are more OH- ions, and a solution containing OH- ions can be acidi...

In this process an aqueous solution is the combination of hydronium ions with hydroxide ions to form water. ... The pH of a substance is the negative logarithm of the concentration of hydrogen ions in a solution. This means that as the pH increases, the amount of hydrogen ions is decreasing and, therefore, the substance is less acidic. Since this is a logarithmic scale, each time the pH increases by one, it represents a ten-time decrease in the amount of hydrogen ions. ...
