Chapter 6: Q32P (page 143)

Use electron dot structures to show why tetra methyl ammonium hydroxide, ${({CH}_{3})}_{4} N^{+} {OH}^{-}$ , is an ionic compound. That is, show why hydroxide is not covalently bound to the rest of the molecule.

Short Answer

Expert verified

In this structure, there is no space for hydroxide ion $({OH}^{-})$ to occupy or bond to ${({CH}_{3})}_{4} N^{+}$ . Hence, it is considered to be ionic compound.

Step by step solution

Concept Introduction

A compound which consists of anions and cations held together by ionic bond (electrical attraction of opposite charges).

Structure of Tetra methyl ammonium

Tetramethylammonium hydroxide ${({CH}_{3})}_{4} N^{+} {OH}^{-}$ is an ionic compound and ${OH}^{-}$ is not covalently bonded to rest of the compound
