Most salts are binary ionic compounds. A. True?
True. Most salts are binary ionic compounds composed of a cation from a metallic element and an anion from a nonmetallic element.
Binary ionic compounds are called salts?
yes, but not all salts are binary ionic compounds
What is the example of binary covalent compounds?
A binary covalent compound is one that contains two substances joined by covalent bonds. For example, two nonmetals often join together to form covalent compounds. So, P2O5 (phosphorus pentoxide) is a binary covalent compound. H2O (dihydrogen monoxide) is another one. This is in contrast to binary ionic compounds, which are salts, and are formed by a metal combining with a nonmetal with ionic bonds.
Most binary ionic compounds are also called salts?
No, metals are not compounds. They are elements or mixtures (alloys) containing metallic elements.
Why do salts share the same properties of ionic compounds?
Salts are ionic compounds consisting of positive and negative ions held together by electrostatic forces. They share the same properties as other ionic compounds because they form crystal lattices, have high melting and boiling points, conduct electricity when dissolved in water, and tend to be brittle.
Most salts are binary ionic compounds. A. True?
True. Most salts are binary ionic compounds composed of a cation from a metallic element and an anion from a nonmetallic element.
Binary ionic compounds are called salts?

Are salts nonionic compounds?
Salts are ionic compounds that are formed by neutrlization of an acid & a base.
What characteristics that all salts have in common?
Salts are ionic compounds.
Why are ionic salts soluble in water?
Because ionic salts are polar compounds as water, the solvent.
Are salts always ionic compounds?
Yes.
What are two statements about salts?
- salts are ionic compounds - salts are products of neutralization reactions
Are most binary compounds salt?
Yes, but there are also trinary (and may be quaternary) ionic salts like alum: KAl(SO4)2 potassium-aluminum sulfate
What is table salt a example of?
An ionic compound. All salts are ionic compounds.
Are ionic compounds that produce positive hydrogen ions when dissolved in water?
Many salts are also ionic compounds.
