Do binary ionic compounds have bonds that share two valence electrons?
No. Ionic compounds are held together by ionic bonds.
What is the difference between a binary ionic compound and a teranry ionic compound?
No. Not all binary compounds are ionic and not all ionic compounds are binary. An ionic compound is a compound formed by the exchange rather than the sharing of electrons. A binary compound is any compound of exactly 2 elements. Examples: Sodium chloride (NaCl, compound sodium and chlorine) is both binary and ionic. Potassium hydroxide (KOH, compound of potassium, hydrogen, and oxygen) is ionic but not binary. Water (H2O, compound of hydrogen and oxygen) is binary, but covalent, not ionic.
A binary ionic compound contains only one kind of cation and one kind of anion?
binary
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.
What type of bond is very hard and brittle?
ionic bonds
Do binary ionic compounds have bonds that share two valence electrons?
No. Ionic compounds are held together by ionic bonds.
Is AgI a binary molecular compound?
No, AgI is a binary ionic compound. Silver (Ag) is a metal, and iodine (I) is a nonmetal. Metals and nonmetals form ionic bonds.
Does sulfur and oxygen for binary ionic compounds?
No, they form covalent bonds. Sulfur dioxide, SO2, for instance.

yes, but not all salts are binary ionic compounds
Does sliver iodide have covalent bonds or ionic bonds?
Ionic
Does petasiom permangenat have ionic bonds or convent bonds?
Ionic
Does silver chloride have ionic bonds or covalent bonds?
Ionic
What happens to the name of a non metal in an ionic bond?
The name of the nonmetal in a binary compound with ionic bonds is modified to end in -ide. In ionic compounds with more than one nonmetal, including oxygen, other modifications of the name are used.
