How many Co atoms are there in 230 grams of CoCl2?

To answer this question you need the molecular weight of CoCl2. CoCl2 molecular weight is 129.84 g/mole 230g CoCl2 divided by the molecular weight 230 g / 129.84 g/mole = 1.77 moles of CoCl2 Multiply the moles by Avagodro's number 1.77 mole * 6.022 X 1023 molecules/mole = 1.07 X 1024 molecules of CoCl2


Does CoCl2 form one type of ion or more than one type of ion?

CoCl2 forms two types of ion: Co2+ and Cl-


Is NaI ionic or molecular?

It is ionic, since Na (sodium) is one of the Alkali metals. Here's a tip: molecular compounds involve non-metal substances, whereas ionic compounds involve metal substances.


Is NaBrO3 molecular or ionic?

If a compound contains at least one metal atom and at least one nonmetal atom, the compound is ionic. Na (Sodium) is a metal. Br (Bromine) is a nonmetal. Therefore, the compound NaBr is ionic.


Is P4O6 molecular or ionic?

It is a molecular (covalent) compound. Present day text books refer to a covalent compound as a molecular compound, as opposed to an ionic one.


Is CF2Cl2 a molecular or ionic compound?

No, CF2Cl2 is covalent as the the three elements in it (Carbon, Fluorine, and Chlorine) are all nonmetals. Nonmetals form covalent bonds with one another.


How can you determine a chemical formula is ionic?

I'm Dutch, and we commonly use the word Salt for ionic solutions. That means: One metal, or NH4+, and one molecular material. For example: potassiumchloride K+ + Cl- --> KCl Potassium is a metal and chloride a molecular material.


What is a hydrated ionic solid?

A hydratd ionic solid is one that contains water. THis used to be called water of crystallisaion. Tthe formulae of such ionic solids is written as say CoCl2.(H2O)6. Sometimes the water molecules are grouped around the cation and are said to be coordiated to it. Sometimes water molecule(s) are not bound to the cation. An example of a salt with both sorts is CoCl2.(H2O)6. In this 4 water molecules and two chloride ions surround the Co2+ ion and two water molecules are not coordinated.


Does It require more energy to melt one mole of an ionic compound than one mole of a molecular compound?

Yes.


Why some compound do not have molecular formula?

Once you get into the realm of compounds you are really looking at two types---ionic and molecular. Molecular compounds are made up of all the same type of molecule, and those molecules consist of a series of atoms covalently bonded together. The molecular formula of a molecular compound gives the number of each type of atom that makes up the molecule. Ionic compounds are different---there are no definable molecules present, just lattices of alternating positive and negative ions (charged atoms). So unlike molecular compounds there is no definable subunit in an ionic compound. Instead ionic compounds are represented by the simplest ratio of ions in the compound. For instance, in table salt there is one sodium ion per chlorine ion so the formula is NaCl. that does not mean there are little NaCl molecules making up the compound, just that the ratio of those two ions is 1:1. In calcium chloride there are two chloride ions for every calcium ion, so its formula is CaCl2. So the simple answe to the question is that molecular formulas are not used for ionic compounds because they are not comprised of molecules. That does not keep people (even chemists) from referring to the formulas of ionic compounds as "molecular formulas" but it is technically a misnomer. Simply calling them "formulas" or "ionic formulas" would be more appropriate.


What general type element is involved in Type 2 compounds?

Binary compounds are those in which two elements combine. If one is a metal and the other a non-metal, the result is an ionic compound. If both are non-metals, that is called a molecular compound.


Is glucose powder ionic or covalent?

A molecular compound is a compound in which atoms are bonded together into particles called molecules by sharing electrons. This is called covalent bonding. An ionic compound is one in which one atom or group of atoms has pulled the electrons away from one another, forming positively chraged ions called cations and negatively charged ions called anions. The oppositely charged ions are strongly attracted to one another. This is called ionic bonding.
