Is the compound acl2 ionc or molecular?
There is no element with a symbol of A. This question cannot be answered as written, except to say that if "a" is a metal, the compound will probably be ionic, and if "a" is a nonmetal, it will probably be molecular.
Is beryllium oxide a non metal?
Beryllium oxyde (BeO) is a chemical compound, not a metal or a nonmetal.
What is the rule used for naming a binary compound composed of a metal bonded to a nonmetal?
The first is the metal, the second is the nonmetal with the suffix -ide; ex.: sodium chloride.
What types of ef elements make up a ionic compound?
A metal and a nonmetal
What happens when you mix a metal cation with a nonmetal anion?
An Ionic compound (salt) is produced.
What is the chemical symbol for a compound that contains a metal?

Is P2O4 an ionic compound?
ionic = metal + nonmetal covalent = nonmetal + nonmetal So your compound is covalent because P (Phosphorus) is a nonmetal and O (oxygen) is a nonmetal.
Is aluminum chloride a metal?
Aluminum chloride is not a metal. When a metal (Aluminum) is compounded with a nonmetal (Chloride) the resulting compound is no longer a metal.It is an example of an inorganic compound that "cracks" at mild temperature, reversibly changing from a polymer to a monomer.
A compound made of a metal and a nonmetal is a?
Usually an ionically bonded salt. For Study Island~ binary ionic compound When a metal and a nonmetal react, they produce a binary ionic compound since metals are electropositive in nature and nonmetals are highly electronegative. If the compound contains an elemental metal and nonmetal, the formula is predictable. The metal will donate an electron to the nonmetal and form a binary ionic compound. For example, sodium metal reacts with chlorine gas to form solid sodium chloride. Na (s) + Cl2 (g) NaCl (s)
Is magnesium oxide a metal?
No. It is a compound of a metal and a nonmetal. Magnesium on its own is a metal.
Is the element sodium a metal nonmetal or metalloid?
Salt is a compound of Sodium (Na) and of Chlorine (Cl), thus, it is a nonmetal because it is a compound of 2 nonmetals. Na is not a nonmetal it is a highly active metal. This can be easily googled.
Is SO3 a nonmetal or a metal?
SO3 is a compound and therefore is neither a metal nor a nonmetal, because these are types of chemical elements, not of compounds. This particular compound consists of two nonmetal elements, sulfur and oxygen.
Is neptunium beryllide a metal nonmetal or metalloid?
