Question

2 which two statements are true for every salt? it is a mixture it is a compound it is too small to see it contains chlorine ions (cl-) it forms from ions joined by ionic bonds it forms from atoms joined by water

Explanation:

Brief Explanations

Salts are compounds formed from ions joined by ionic bonds. A compound is a pure substance made from two or more elements chemically combined. Ionic bonds occur when electrons are transferred between atoms, creating ions that attract each other. For example, sodium chloride (NaCl) is a salt where sodium (Na⁺) and chloride (Cl⁻) ions bond ionically. Not all salts contain chlorine ions (e.g., potassium nitrate - KNO₃). Salts are not mixtures (which have physically combined substances) and aren't necessarily too small to see (e.g., large salt crystals). They don't form from atoms joined by water (water can dissolve salts but isn't part of their bonding).

Answer:

  • It is a compound
  • It forms from ions joined by ionic bonds
