Is calcium oxide a covalently bonded compound or a ionically bonded compound?

Calcium oxide is an ionically bonded compound that contains equal numbers of calcium cations with a charge of +2 and oxide anions with a charge of -2.


Water bond ionically or covalently?

Water contains hydrogen and oxygen, which are both nonmetals, therefore water is a covalent compound.


Is calcium oxide covalently bonded or ionically?

Calcium is a metal with an electronegativity of 1.0 and oxygen is a nonmetal with an electronegativity of 3.5. The electronegativity difference is 2.5, and anything over 1.7 indicates an IONIC BOND.


What kind of oxide is formed when a nonmetal like sulfur is burned?

A covalently bonded oxide is created.


How many moles of O2- ions are in 0.65 moles of aluminum oxide?

The formula for aluminum oxide is Al2O3, which means that, if aluminum oxide is ionically bonded, every formula mass of aluminum oxide contains three O-2 ions. In this instance, 0.65 formula masses of aluminum oxide would contain 3 X 0.65 or 1.95 moles of O2-. If aluminum oxide were covalently bonded, it would not contain any O-2 ions.


Is sulfur oxide a molecule or part of an ionic solid?

Sulfer oxide is covalently bonded - so no, it is not an ionic solid.


What type of compound is Cl2O?

Chlorine(I) Oxide is a covalently bonded molecule which has the same geometry as in water molecule.


What compounds contains one or more covalent bonds Choices Carbon Dioxide Sodium chloride Calcium Oxide Barium Bromide Cesium Oxide?

Carbon dioxide is covalently bonded.


What is the difference between oxide and dioxide?

An oxide is a chemical compound containing at least one oxygen atom. A dioxide is a chemical compound composed of two oxygen atoms covalently bonded to a single atom.


Are non metallic oxides covalent compounds?

yes of course, non metallic compounds like sulpher oxide and carbon dioxide are covalently bonded together while metallic oxides like sodium oxide are bonded together through an ionic bond forming a crystal lattice.


Does beryllium react with cold water?

Be (beryllium) does not react with water , steam or oxygen even at red heat. because it has a strong resistant layer of oxide on it's surface (impenetrable coating)which lower it's reactivity.


Is CUO covalent or ionic?

Covalent bonds are between non-metals only. Ionic bonds are between non-metals and metals. Copper is a metal and oxygen is a non-metal; therefore, Copper II oxide is ionically bonded.
