false

False, all compounds are electrically neutral.
The crystal lattice that is formed has a lower potential energy than the reactants. This is because energy is expended to create the ionic compound.
The given statement is not either true or false consistently. An ionic compound can contain atoms that are covalently bonded, as in sulfate and nitrate salts, but it need not contain any such covalently bonded atoms.

False. In order for a compound to be acidic, it must have contain hydrogen atoms that are ionized in aqueous solution. Not all hydrogen atoms in compounds behave this way. For instance, the organic compound methane contains hydrogen but is not an acid. Ammonia also contains hydrogen, but it typically acts as a base, not an acid.
The resulting compound would be electrically neutral.
False. A molecule is the smallest part of a compound that can still be indentified as a compound as it may contain several atoms of different elements. A single atom can only identify a single element, not a compound which it may have been a part of.
true
An atom may be neutral, or it may have a positive or a negative charge. If it has a charge, it is called an ion.
