Is p2o4 ionic or covalent?
The chemical compound P2O2 does not exist. IF it could it would almost certainly be covalently bonded.
What could you do to determine whether an unknown solid is an ionic compound or a molecular solid?
In the laboratory you could determine if a solid has an ionic bond or a metallic bond by trying to run a current through it. Metal solids have delocalized electrons and conduct electricity well. Ionic solids will not conduct electricity unless dissolved.
Contained in the chart to determine which unknown substance could be lithium?
D
What is the name for the covalent compound N2H4?
N2H4 is commonly called hydrazine, but it could also be named dinitrogen tetrahydride.
Where could you find a solid covalent compound?
In a solid candle of high molecular mass paraffin, among many other places.

What is the physical stae of covalent?
It could be solid, liquid or gas depending on the compound.

If 2 or more elements are joined together they form a?
compound or solution. he could be talking about a covalent or ionic bond
What is the name for the covalent compound N2H4?
N2H4 is commonly called hydrazine, but it could also be named dinitrogen tetrahydride.
Two fluorine atoms form a compound with a covalent bond What is this compound called?
Two fluorine atoms can not form a compound they simply form a [molecule]
Where could you find a solid covalent compound?
In a solid candle of high molecular mass paraffin, among many other places.
How could you identify two unknown white crystals such as salt and sugar?
If you can isolate the compound individually first, that's the best thing. Further to this, anion and cation tests will tell you what kind of salt it is. There are also tests to determine simple sugars.
