a metal cation and a nonmetal anion
some compounds are composed of molecules bound by ionic compounds so no
Ionic compounds are composed of positively charged ions (cations) and negatively charged ions (anions). These ions are usually formed from metals and nonmetals, respectively. The cations and anions are held together by strong electrostatic forces of attraction.
True. Most salts are binary ionic compounds composed of a metal cation and a nonmetal anion.
Many ionic compounds exist as crystals but covalent compounds as molecules (there are exceptions as diamond though). Ionic compounds would be good electrical conductors unlike molecular compounds.
Molecular compounds consist of covalent bonds formed by sharing electrons between atoms, while ionic compounds involve the transfer of electrons from one atom to another, resulting in the formation of positive and negative ions. Molecular compounds typically have lower melting and boiling points compared to ionic compounds and are often composed of nonmetals. Ionic compounds tend to have higher melting and boiling points, are composed of metals and nonmetals, and form crystalline lattices.
Ionic compounds do not have a specific odor because they are composed of ions held together by ionic bonds, which do not produce volatile molecules that can be detected by the sense of smell.
The statement that all compounds have a composition of ionic compounds is false. Many compounds can be covalent in nature, where atoms share electrons instead of transferring them. On the other hand, it is true that compounds have a definite composition with fixed ratios of elements and compounds are formed by the bonding of two or more different elements.
Molecules are composed of nonmetals and follow covalent bonding rules, while ionic compounds are composed of metals and nonmetals and follow ionic bonding rules. Naming conventions differ because the way elements combine in molecules and ionic compounds is distinct, leading to different naming systems.
True. Most salts are binary ionic compounds composed of a cation from a metallic element and an anion from a nonmetallic element.
Concrete is composed of both ionic and covalent compounds. The main components of concrete, such as Portland cement, consist of ionic compounds formed from calcium, silicon, and aluminum oxide. The aggregates used in concrete, such as sand and gravel, are composed of covalent compounds like silica and quartz.
Out of the compounds listed, only TiO2 (titanium dioxide) is an ionic compound. The others are molecular compounds. TiO2 is composed of a metal (titanium) and a nonmetal (oxygen), resulting in an ionic bond between them.
NaH and IBr3 are ionic compounds. NaH is composed of a metal (Na) and a nonmetal (H), creating an ionic bond. IBr3 is also an ionic compound as it contains a metal (I) and a nonmetal (Br) forming an ionic bond. Ph3 and CH4 are covalent compounds as they involve sharing of electrons between nonmetal atoms.
