Does nitrogen and oxygen form an ionic compound?

Nitrogen Dioxide (NO2) is a molecular compound in which two oxygen molecules are bonded covalently to a central nitrogen molecule in a bent shape. The O-N-O bond angle is 134.3o as opposed to 180o due to the unbonded electron in nitrogen's outer shell. A good example of a nitrogen-based ionic compound would instead be sodium nitrate (NaNO3) or similar.


What is the ionic compound for Magnesium and Nitrogen?

Yes, they form Sodium nitride Na3N.


Is sodium chloride a molecular or ionic crystal?

Sodium chloride is an ionic compound; the term "molecule" is not adequate because NaCl form large lattices.


Na2O is not a molecular formula why?

Because Na2O is an ionic compound Sodium (Na) does not form molecules. All of its compounds are ionic.


Is salt an ionic compound?

no becuz NaCl has a metal in it which is sodium and molecular compounds involve non metals e.g. hydrogen peroxide is a molecular compound


Between what atoms is a covalent bond most likely to occur calcium and lithium sodium and flourine nitrogen and oxygen helium and argon?

calcium and lithium are both metals and dont form bond with each other. sodium and flourine form ionic compound, sodium fluoride. nitrogen and oxygen form covalent bond in the nitrogen oxides. helium and argon are both nonmetals / noble gases and dont form bond with each other.


What form of compound is nitrogen?

Nitrogen is not a compound, it is an element. Nitrogen is found in many compounds, including all proteins.


Why the term molecule is appropriate for hydrogen chloride but not for sodium chloride?

Hydrogen and chlorine are both nonmetals, and nonmetals form molecular compounds when bonded together. Sodium is a metal and chlorine is a nonmetal, and a metal and a nonmetal form an ionic compound.


Can join together to form compounds?

YES!!!! Taking Sodium and Chlorine as an example. Sodium metal is an element. Chlorine gas is an element. Put them together in a gas jar and they will react to form the compound sodium chloride. In nature atmospheric nitrogen (an element) will react with atmospheric oxygen (also an element), when a lightning strike discharges, to form nitrogen oxides (compounds).


Would silicon and nitrogen form an ionic compound?

They will form a covalent compound.


What form must the nitrogen be in?

compound


Why is sodium naturally found in form of compound?

Sodium is an extremely reactive element, meaning that it is unstable in its elemental form and stable in compounds. It will react spontaneously with oxygen, water, carbon dioxide, and even nitrogen. As a result, it does not naturally occur in elemental form.
