Is CS2 a ionic compound or a pure covalent compound?
Covalent compound
Is KF a ionic compound or a pure covalent compound?
K is an element. It is elemental Potassium metal.
Is CO a ionic compound or a pure covalent compound?
I'm not sure what you mean by "purely covalent", since the ionic-vs-covalent distinction is expressed in terms of electronegativity, which can take a range of values (higher values = more ionic). CO is very much a covalent compound though.
Is gasoline an ionic or covalent compound?
Gasoline is not a pure sybstance but is a mixture of covalent compounds mainly alkanes .
What is hydrogen oxide is it pure covalent or polar covalent or ionic?
Hydrogen oxide (a.k.a. water) is a polar covalent compound.
Is tooth paste a ionic or covalent bond?
Toothpaste is not a pure substance but is mixture of many ingredients some contain covalent bonds some ionic.
Is methane an ionic or covalent bond?
Covalent bonds are between non-metals only. Methane is a hydrocarbon (CH4. Therefore it is COVALENTLY bonded because of the bonds between carbon (non-metal) and hydrogen (non-metal). Ionic compounds only apply to those made of metals and non-metals.
Is Milk is a covalent compound or ionic compound?
Milk is a complex mixture of substances, so the question is meaningless. It can only be answered for a pure compound. Water makes up most of milk, and that is covalent, as are most of the substances in it, but there are some ionic ones too.
When two or more elements are joined by chemical bonds to form a new pure substance what do you call that new substance?
A compound. A compound can be covalent or ionic depending on which elements are bonding.
Is KF a polar covalent bonds or non-polar covalent or ionic?
KCl is an ionic compound. The electronegativity of potassium (K) is approximately 0.82. The electronegativity of chlorine (Cl) is approximately 3.16. The difference between these electronegativities is 2.34. This high electronegativity difference is what makes potassium chloride an ionic compound. If the electronegativity difference of two elements is greater than 1.7, it is considered to be an ionic compound. If the difference is between 0.4 and 1.7, the compound is considered to be polar covalent. If the difference is less than 0.4, the compound is considered to be covalent. If the difference is 0 (i.e. the two elements are the same), then the compound is considered to be pure covalent. KCl is ionic because K's electronegativity is 0.82 and Cl's is 3.16. A compound is ionic when the electronegativity on the Pauling Scale is more than 2.1. The difference 2.34, so it is ionic.
Is water a pure covalent or polar covalent?
Water molecule is polar covalent, but has a negligible ionic behavior.
Which is stronger ionic or covalent?
Covalent bonds are the strongest in an aqueous solution.
