What type of elements typically compose molecular compounds?
Molecular compounds are formed when the intramolecular bonds are covalent instead of ionic. These are formed by non-metallic atoms bonding with other non-metallic atoms.
How do you differentiate simple molecular compounds and giant molecular compounds?
simple molecular compounds have weak forces of atraction.
Why is it that only molecular compounds can have a molecular formula?
Because there are no compounds that aren't molecules/molecular. The question as posed is nonsense. Rephrase?
Are molecular compounds reactive?
yes
What is the binary molecular compounds of ClO2?
chlorine dioxide
How are molecular compounds formed?
Molecular compounds are formed by two chemical reactions forming in the cell of the nucleus.
What is the chemical formula of a molecular compound called?
Molecular compounds are formed between two ionic bonds
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 is the relationship between prefixes and molecular compounds?
the relationship between prefixes and molecular compounds is that, prefix are used to name molecular compounds.
How do molecular compounds bond?
When molecular compounds bond, they share electrons.
Is the composition of an ionic compound formed by two or more nonmetallic elements?
Ionic compounds do not form between nonmetallic elements. Nonmetallic elements form covalent bonds, and form molecular compounds. Ionic compounds are generally formed by metals and nonmetals.

How does melting point compare among molecular compounds and ionic compounds?
Molecular compounds tend to have lower melting points.
Are molecular compounds made up of metals or nonmetals?
Some molecular compounds, such as methyl mercury, contain both metals and nonmetals. Most molecular compounds contain only nonmetals, and all molecular compounds contain at least one nonmetal element.
