What atom is the central one in a binary molecular compound?
In binary compounds the more electropositive atom is consider as the central atom as in inter halogens for example in ClF, the cl is the central atom.
Are molecular compounds formed from semimetals?
Molecular compounds certainly can be formed from semimetals, but not all the compounds of semimetals are molecular.
How do you differentiate simple molecular compounds and giant molecular compounds?
simple molecular compounds have weak forces of atraction.
Can molecules with molecular formulas c4h10 and c4h10o be isomers of one another Why or why not?
No, because the second formula contains an oxygen atom and the first formula does not. Structural isomers must have the same numbers of all types of atoms.
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 P4 molecular?
Yes, phosphorus consists of P4 molecules which are arranged in molecular crystals bound by van der Waals forces. Each phosphorus atom is bound to three others in a tetrahedron.
Why do ionic and polar covalent compounds form chrystals?
Ionic compounds form a crystal lattice. Covalent compounds, polar AND non-polar, giant molecule AND molecular can form crystals. Molecular covalent compunds form regular lattices where the molecules are packed in a regular way.
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?
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.
How are the properties of molecular compounds different from those of ionic cmpounds?
Molecular (covalent) compounds are not dissociated in water.
