Slaked lime (calcium hydroxide), limewater (calcium hydroxide solution)
No. Lime, at least in the general usage of the term, is Calcium Carbonate. Calcium Carbonate is an ionic compound. By the way, the first guy's answer is dead wrong.
A covalent compound is a compound in which the atoms that are bonded share electrons rather than transfer electrons from one to the other. While ionic compounds are usually formed when metals bond to nonmetals, covalent compounds are formed when two nonmetals bond to each other. So lime is a covalent compound.
I would say that though lime has various meanings the most usual one is calcium oxide. It's the compound formed when limestone which is basically calcium carbonate is heated to drive out carbon dioxide. CaCO3 --> CaO + CO2 Being a compound between a metal (calcium) and a non metal (oxygen) it is ionic in nature with a crystalline structure. Calcium donates two electrons to oxygen so that divalent ions are formed.
no because lime is not an compoud it is a mixture -a compound is two or more elements that are chemically combined -a mixture is a blend of two or more substance that are not chemically combined
