Binary ionic compounds are called salts?

yes, but not all salts are binary ionic compounds


What are binary ionic compounds?

Metals and nonmetal ions, Compounds with very different electronegativities


Is copper and tin an ionic compound?

No. Copper an tin form an alloy called bronze. An alloy, is a mixture not a compound. Metals can form binary compounds with nonmetals, but not other metals.


What type of ions does titanium form?

Silicon does not form ionic compounds containing Si cations. It is after all a non-metal. There are some "odd" compounds called silicides binary compounds of metals with silicon but generally these are not ionic, only those with the more reactive metals have ionic nature, silicon forming cluster anions (Zintl compounds) such as Si44- (isoelectronic with P4 molecule)


What is the difference in metals and ionic compounds when force is applied?

ionic compounds have a high melting point compared to metals and ionic compounds do not conduct electricity as metals


What are the two types of binary compounds?

Type 1 binary ionic compounds are those in which the cation has only one form, or charge. Type 2 binary ionic compounds are those in which the cation can have multiple forms.


How do you find out if a compound is ionic or covalent?

If a compound is made from a metal and a non-metal, its bonding will be ionic.If a compound is made from two non-metals, its bonding will be covalent. Compounds containing two elements (so called binary compounds) can either have ionic or covalent bonding.


What is the difference between binary ionic and molecular compound?

A binary compound contains two elements. An ionic compound will contain cations and anions and form an infinite lattice for example sodium chloride, NaCl, calcium fluoride, CaF2. A binary molecular compound will form molecules for example water, H2O, carbon monoxide, CO. The ionic compounds will generally be high melting brittle solids, molecular compounds will vary from gases, (lighter ones) through to liquids and solids, for example the alkanesCnH2n+2,Ionic compounds are generally formed by metals and non-metals, molecular generally from non-metals.


Do binary ionic compounds have bonds that share two valence electrons?

No. Ionic compounds are held together by ionic bonds.


What are the compounds of binary ionic compounds?

Aluminum chlorideIron (lll) oxide


An element that can ionic compound with oxygen is?

Nearly all metals will form ionic compounds with oxygen, or 'oxides', as they are called.


What general type element is involved in Type 2 compounds?

Binary compounds are those in which two elements combine. If one is a metal and the other a non-metal, the result is an ionic compound. If both are non-metals, that is called a molecular compound.
