How do you know a compound is ionic or molecular?

An ionic compound is a pure substance that is formed from a metal and a nonmetal. It has a fairly high melting point and is a conductor of electricity when in a molten or aqueous state . A molecular compound, on the other hand, is a pure substance that is formed from nonmetals. It has a fairly low melting point, and cannot conduct electricity regardless of state. Another important difference between the two is that an ionic compound is a crystalline solid at standard ambient temperature and pressure (SATP), whereas a molecular compound can be in a solid, gas or liquid state at SATP.

How do you find out if a substance is an alloy?

To find out whether a substance is an alloy you look at the elements it is made of. If it made up of only metals (ie gold,silver,aluminum,copper) then you know it is an alloy. If the components are a metal and non-metal, it is an ionic compound. If the components are two non-metals it is a molecular compound.
