Which compounds have both a covalent and ionic bond?
Many compounds have both covalent and ionic bonds. For example, soaps are made of a carboxylic acid salt with sodium; the carbon chain is covalent, but the bond between the sodium and the oxygen is ionic.
Are the compounds oxygen and carbon bonded by ionic bonding or covalent bonding?
Oxygen and carbon combine with each other to form covalent compounds as in carbon monoxide, carbon dioxide, carbonate ion, etc.
Is carbon ideally suited for ionic bonds?
no. carbon generally forms covalent bond. but carbon does form ionic bond with metal ions as in carbides, carbonates, bicarbonates (though the number of covalent compounds of carbon are more)
Is carbon and fluorine ionic?
Generally carbon forms covalent compounds. There are compounds with carbon anions, for example CaC2, calcium carbide which contains the C22- anion
Is telephone receiver a ionic or covalent compound?
covalent compounds --------- It is inadequate to discuss about a telephone in terms of ionic and covalent compounds.
How many ionic bonds does carbon form in its compounds?
Carbon normally forms four covalent bonds in its compounds, not ionic bonds.

Are you made of ionic or covalent compounds?
Living things are made up of both ionic and covalent compounds.
Ionic or covalent compounds?
Ionic compounds are metals and nonmetals combined to form a compound. KI= Potassium (metal) Iodide(nonmetal) Covalent compounds are nonmetals and nonmetals combined. NO2= Nitrogen (nonmetal) Dioxide (nonmetal)
Is potassium benzoate ionic or covalent?
ionic because it contains a metal and nonmetals.
Does carbon form four ionic bonds in its compounds carbon forms four ionic bonds in its compounds?
carbon forms only covalent bond.It shares its electrons with some other element. Ex. CH4 methane
Is Vaseline ionic or covalent?
Petrol is a mixture of organic compounds. These organic compounds have covalent bonds.
Why do covalent compounds have lower melting points then ionic compounds?
Covalent compounds tend to be negatively charged than an ionic compound.
