What are the two major types of compounds?
There are two types of compounds: molecular and ionic. ill give you an example of each Water-H20 molecular compound Salt-NaCl ionic compoundThere are ionic compounds which is a compound formed by a positive metal ion and a negative nonmetal ion. And there are convalent compounds which is a compound formed in which atoms share electrons.
What are ionic bond compounds?
Ionic bond compounds are compounds formed when electrons are transferred from one atom to another, resulting in the formation of positively and negatively charged ions that are held together by electrostatic forces. Examples include sodium chloride (table salt), magnesium oxide, and potassium iodide.
What are a group of molecules held together by?
A group of molecules is held together by chemical bonds. These bonds can be covalent, where atoms share electrons, or ionic, where atoms transfer electrons to form charged particles. The type of bond formed depends on the elements involved and their electronegativity.
What are two properties of most salt?
They are ionic compounds and solids.
Which types of compounds are formed from a tight network of oppositly charged ions?
An ionic salt or salt crystal.
What are the different kinds of compound?
A compound in chemistry is a chemical substance consisting of two or more elements. Compounds can be separated into their parent elements by chemical reaction. Some common compounds are water (H2O), carbon dioxide (CO2), and table salt (NaCl.).
Why can't nitrogen dioxide be salt?
In chemistry, a "salt" is an ionic compound. An ionic compound is formed when there is a transfer of electrons from one element to another. Common example of ionic compounds are baking soda (NaHCO3) and table salt (NaCl). Nitrogen dioxide cannot be referred to as a salt because it is not an ionic compound. Rather, it is a covalent compound. This means that the bonds within the compound are formed by the sharing of electrons and NOT the transfer of electrons. Instead of salt, nitrogen dioxide can be referred to as a molecule.
Why are covalent bonds formed in water?
Covalent bonds are formed in water because water molecules consist of two hydrogen atoms that share electrons with one oxygen atom. This sharing of electrons creates a strong covalent bond that holds the atoms together in the water molecule.
What is it that forms when acids react with carbonate compounds?
After this reaction a salt, carbon dioxide and water are formed.
Ionic bonds are generally found in inorganic compounds?
Inorganic compounds lack carbon. Generally metals and non-metals have ionic bonds. For example elementary salts such as table salt (NaCl) or sodium chloride are classic examples of such inorganic ionic bonds. Organic compounds, on the other hand, are most often covalently bonded.
Ions formed from Na plus and Cl- are?
Sodium ions (Na+) and chloride ions (Cl-) are formed when a sodium atom donates an electron to a chlorine atom. This transfer of electrons creates the stable ionic compounds sodium chloride (NaCl).
In an atom do protons ever equal to electrons?
Any atom with no charge, which is all atoms in their purest, most basic form, have the same number of protons and electrons. They only have different numbers after they have reacted with something else and formed compounds like salt (sodium chloride), water and carbon dioxide.
