it must be a compound of a polyatomic cation (i think ammonium might be the only one) and any polyatomic anion that contains no metals (sulfate, chlorate, carbonate, etc). Some examples would be (NH4)2SO4, (NH4)2CO3, etc.
Ammonium chloride
Amominim chloride
Ammonium chloride.
No. Not all binary compounds are ionic and not all ionic compounds are binary. An ionic compound is a compound formed by the exchange rather than the sharing of electrons. A binary compound is any compound of exactly 2 elements. Examples: Sodium chloride (NaCl, compound sodium and chlorine) is both binary and ionic. Potassium hydroxide (KOH, compound of potassium, hydrogen, and oxygen) is ionic but not binary. Water (H2O, compound of hydrogen and oxygen) is binary, but covalent, not ionic.
K is an element. It is elemental Potassium metal.
No. MgO is a compound called magnesium oxide. It is composed of two elements: magnesium and oxygen.Hint: if the chemical formula contains more than one capital latter than the substance is not an element.
The chemical formula of an ionic compound that contains aluminium and chlorine is aluminium chloride - AlCl3.
Ammonium chloride.
These bonds tend to be ionic. However, all bonds are somewhere between purely ionic and purely covalent.
It contains two different elements so yes, it is binary.
"Ternary" means that the compound contains three elements.
the formula for an ionic compound that contains the elements magnesium and sulfur.Mg + H2 SO4 -> Mg SO4 + H2. .
Sodium chloride is an ionic compound ( a compound between a metal and a non-metal) It is also a binary compound as it contains two elements. So it can be described as an ionic compound or more precisely as a binary ionic compound. A binary compound is one that contains exactly two elements. Binary compounds may be ionic or covalent.
An ionic compound is formed based on the electrostatic attraction.
the elements which the ionic compound is constituted of
CuCl2 is an ionic compound with two elements, copper and chlorine. Chlorine is a halogen, part of Group XVII, and copper is a transition metal, of Group XI.
Water contains no ionic bonds as it is a covalent compound.
No. Not all binary compounds are ionic and not all ionic compounds are binary. An ionic compound is a compound formed by the exchange rather than the sharing of electrons. A binary compound is any compound of exactly 2 elements. Examples: Sodium chloride (NaCl, compound sodium and chlorine) is both binary and ionic. Potassium hydroxide (KOH, compound of potassium, hydrogen, and oxygen) is ionic but not binary. Water (H2O, compound of hydrogen and oxygen) is binary, but covalent, not ionic.
Generally ioic compounds contain metals and non metals. However the compound NH4Cl is ionic, and contains NH4+ and Cl- ,and all of the elements are non-metals.
