Ionic
Sodium, phosphorus and oxygen. Any compounds ending in -ate have oxygen in their molecules
NaSo4
In Ionic compounds, there is strong electrostatic forces of attraction between the Positve Cation and Negative Anion. A lot of energy is required to break this force hence it has a very high melting point/boiling point, this leads to most of ionic compounds being solid. In covalent compounds, weak Van der Waals forces exists between discrete molecules (due to dipole attraction). These weak forces require little energy to break hence it has very low meling point/boiling point, this leads to most of the covalent compounds being volatile and hence more of liquid and gases form
Examples are for English: -ide, -ate, -ite.
Compounds that end in "-ate" typically contain a polyatomic ion, which is made up of multiple atoms connected by covalent bonds. Compounds that end in "-ide" typically consist of two elements, with one acting as a metal and the other as a nonmetal, forming an ionic bond. The naming convention reflects the different chemical structures and bonding types present in these compounds.
nope, read it again, sodium (element) hy (hydrogen) chlor (chloride - ate )
I believe it's Na3PO4. Please correct me if I am wrong. -Kyarii [:
You could die... It's really bad for you
Names of salts are formed from the name of a metal (or ammonium) and the name of the anion derived from the acid with the suffixes -ate, -ide. Example: sodium chloride - NaCl.
This type of covalent bond is called a single bond. In a single bond, each atom shares two electrons to achieve a full outer shell and form a stable molecule.
Sodium hypochlorite is composed from sodium, chlorine, and oxygen (ate).
The original two elements to make the compound Sodium Sulphate are Sodium and Sulphur. The reason you put -ate on the end is because you have reacted a metal (Sodium) with a non-metal (Sulphur)
