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.

Can someone make as many ionic and polyatomic compounds with hydrogen nitrogen oxygen chlorine sodium and calcium?

- If you think only to isolated elements all these elements can form polyatomic compounds.- Calcium and sodium form ionic compounds.- H, N, O, Cl can form ionic or covalent compouds.


Why do some elements exist without ionic radius?

The elements that do not have quoted ionic radii are the noble gases. These elements do not form ionic compounds and therefore there is no crystallographic data. All of the other elements have ionic radii, these are either an "estimate" from the apparent size of the ion in different compounds, or a calculated value. Ionic radius is a useful idea but it should not be taken to literally, comparatively few compounds are truly ionic, most of them have some covalent character. The best examples of elements where the ionic radius is meaningful are the group 1, 2 metals, oxide ion and the lighter halogens.

What compounds make up the element cadmium?

No compounds make up elements. Elements make up compounds, so there are no compounds in cadmium since it is an element.


Is brass an ionic compound?

Brass is a metallic compound (having a metallic bond). The two elements that make it up are both metals; Copper and Zinc.


Elements are combined to make compounds?

Yes, chemical compounds are made up of elements combined together.


Does ionic compounds make molecules or ions?

Ionic compounds typically form ions when dissolved in water or melted, as the strong electrostatic forces between the positively and negatively charged ions prevent them from forming discrete molecules. In the solid state, ionic compounds exist as a lattice of alternating cations and anions held together by ionic bonds.


What expresses the relationship between elements in the compounds and the molecules they make up?

Chemical bonds, such as covalent bonds and ionic bonds, link elements together to form compounds. These compounds have distinct molecular structures based on the arrangement of their constituent atoms. The type and strength of the bond between elements influence the properties of the resulting molecules.


What groups of elements always combine to make ionic compounds?

All metals combine to form ionic compounds.Group 1(except hydrogen),2-12, all elements form ionic compounds.then Group 13 (except Boron), Group 14-tin and lead and Group 15 Bismuth only.The above mentioned group elements form ionic compounds.


How are a solution and a substance similar?

A substance is any chemical you might have or want to test. A solution is when that substance is dissolved in water. Chemists make solutions, especially with ionic compounds, so they can break apart into their constituent components and react with something else. Water molecules, which are highly polar attract the positive and negative charges the compounds or elements that make up the ionic compound. Solutions are also good for other chemical reactions though, too.
