What are the two types of binary compounds?

Type 1 binary ionic compounds are those in which the cation has only one form, or charge. Type 2 binary ionic compounds are those in which the cation can have multiple forms.


Are binary ionic compounds also called metals?

No, binary ionic compounds are made up of positively charged metal ions and negatively charged nonmetal ions. While metals can form ionic compounds with nonmetals, not all metals are involved in forming binary ionic compounds.


Most salts are binary ionic compounds. A.True?

True. Most salts are binary ionic compounds composed of a metal cation and a nonmetal anion.


Binary ionic compounds are called salts?

yes, but not all salts are binary ionic compounds


Is Al203 and N203 a binary ionic compound or a binary covalent compound?

An ionic compound is a metal and a non metal combination. AL2O3 is Ionic. A binary covalent compound is made from two non metals. N2O3 is covalent.


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 named in what pattern?

Binary ionic compounds are named by first stating the name of the cation (metal) followed by the name of the anion (nonmetal) with an -ide ending.


When naming binary ionic or covalent compounds change the suffix of the anions name to what?

When naming binary ionic compounds, the suffix of the anion's name is changed to "-ide." For covalent compounds, the suffix of the anion's name does not change.


Is dinitrogen teroxide a binary ionic compound?

No, dinitrogen teroxide (N2O4) is a molecular compound, not a binary ionic compound. Binary ionic compounds are formed between a metal and a nonmetal through the transfer of electrons, while molecular compounds result from the sharing of electrons between nonmetals.


Does binary ionic compounds share electrons?

No, binary ionic compounds do not share electrons. In an ionic bond, electrons are transferred from one atom to another, resulting in the formation of positively and negatively charged ions that are held together by electrostatic forces.


Which are binary ionic compounds?

Binary ionic compounds are compounds composed of positively charged metal cations and negatively charged nonmetal anions. Examples include sodium chloride (NaCl), magnesium oxide (MgO), and potassium iodide (KI).


How do you distinguish between the formulas of binary ionic and binary molecular compounds?

Binary ionic compounds have 2 elements, the element on the left (cation) should be a metal (left side of the zig zag line), and the other element on the right should be nonmetal (right side of the zig zag line)Binary molecular compounds have 2 NON METAL elements
