True or false Metals are made up of cations not neutral atoms?

An ionic compound is a compound that consists of molecules made of atoms that are covalently bonded?

false


An ionic compound is a compound that consists of molecules made of atoms that are covalently bonded.?

false


Neutral atoms contain the same number of protons as?

electrons and Protons


True or false the first element in a compound should have no charge?

False, all compounds are electrically neutral.


Compared with the neutral atoms involved in the formation of an ionic compound the crystal lattice that results is?

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.


An ionic compound is a compound that consist of molecules made of atoms that are covalently bonded?

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.


True or false a compound that contains hydrogen atoms will be an acid when dissolved in water?

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.


When ions having a positively charge form bonds with ions having a negative charge the charge on the resulting compound is?

The resulting compound would be electrically neutral.


True or False an atom is the smallest part of a compound that may still be identified as the compound?

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.


Is it true or false when a compound is formed by two or more atoms of different elements joining the outer electron shell of the compound is completely filled with electrons.?

true


Treu or false Atoms have a positive charge?

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.
