Is All ionic compounds include at least two elements true?
Yes. All chemical compounds, ionic and covalent, contain 2 or more elements.
Why are prefixes used in naming covalent compounds?
The same atoms can combine in more than one ratio.
Can mixtures be separated much more easily than compounds?
Usually mixtures are easiest to separate into their substances.
Are compounds larger than elements?
Depends. Molecules are bigger than atoms, because they are made of atoms, a molecule can also be a compound, but compounds are more or less made of more molecules, so yes, they are bigger, you should specify the meaning of the word compound. some molecules are bigger then small componds, and anything really can be a compound
What happens when you mix phosphorus with other elements?
Phosphorus is an element on the periodic table. Compounds are comprised of two or more elements.
Is All ionic compounds include at least two elements true?
Yes. All chemical compounds, ionic and covalent, contain 2 or more elements.
Do chemical compound contain only one element?
No, compounds contain two or more elements. These elements are bond by ionic or covalent bonds. Compounds have a single chemical composition.
Is the composition of an ionic compound formed by two or more nonmetallic elements?
Ionic compounds do not form between nonmetallic elements. Nonmetallic elements form covalent bonds, and form molecular compounds. Ionic compounds are generally formed by metals and nonmetals.
What is a covalent compound?
A covalent compound is a chemical substance in which two or more elements are bonded together by sharing electrons in a definite structure and ratio. Most covalent compounds form molecules
How do you determine whether a compound with more than two elements such as Al2(SO4)3 is ionic or covalent?
When the difference between the electronegativities of two elements is in the range 0-2 (Pauling system) the bond is covalent; generally compounds between nonmetals are covalent.
How many covalent bonds can carbon form with other elements?
not more than three !
Organic compounds can have bonds?
Covalent bonds are common in organic compounds!
What is the properties of covalent bond?
Covalent compounds generally have much lower melting and boiling points that ionic compounds. Covalent compounds are soft and squishy. Covalent compounds tend to be more flammable that ionic compounds. Covalent compounds don't conduct electricity in water. Covalent compounds aren't usually very soluble in water.
What is the difference between ionic and covalent?
Covalent compounds are more flammable when compared to ionic compounds.Ionic compounds are more soluble in water than covalent compounds.for more go to: difference between . net
Is it true A compound is made up of one or more elements chemically bound together?
Yes, it is true. The elements are bond with ionic or covalent bonds. NaCl,Glucose are some compounds.
Covalent compounds form between?
Covalent bonds form betweenthe electrons in the outer valence of an atom.Read more: What_do_covalent_bonds_usually_form_between
What is created when two or more kinds of elements are chemically bonded?
That's a compound. The bonds can either be covalent, ionic... there are a range.
