What else can I help you with?
Is lithium likely to form an ionic compound with strontium?
No, lithium and strontium are both metals. Ionic compounds occur between metals and non-metals. They are both positively charged, so an ionic bond would not be attainable.
Is Magnesium Cesium an ionic compound?
No, magnesium cesium is not an ionic compound. Ionic compounds are formed when a metal and a nonmetal react and transfer electrons to each other to create charged ions. Magnesium and cesium are both metals, so they cannot form an ionic compound together.
Will Na and Cu make an ionic bond?
No. Sodium and copper are both metals and so will not form a compound
Is water an ionic compound or a covalent compound?
Ionic compounds form only between a metal and a non-metal. In water, the elements are Hydrogen and Oxygen, which are both non-metals. Therefore, water is a covalent compound.
Will calcium and potassium form an ionic compound?
No, calcium and potassium will not form an ionic compound together because they are both metals and tend to lose electrons to form cations, not gain or share electrons like nonmetals do when forming ionic compounds.
Is brass an ionic compound?
Brass is a metallic compound (having a metallic bond). The two elements that make it up are both metals; Copper and Zinc.
Could sodium and potassium form an ionic compound?
Yes, sodium and potassium can form an ionic compound because they are both metals that tend to lose an electron to achieve a stable electron configuration. This results in the formation of positively charged ions that can combine with negatively charged ions to form an ionic compound.
Would silver and copper form an ionic compound?
No, silver and copper would not form an ionic compound as they are both transition metals and tend to form metallic bonds rather than ionic bonds. Instead, they would likely form an alloy when combined.
Is C3H8 an ionic compound or covalent compound?
It's a covalent compound. Ionic compounds have at least one metal in them, but covalent consists of ONLY non-metals. Thus, since both C (Carbon) and H (Hydrogen) are non-metals, it is covalent.
What is the formula of the ionic compounds formed from aluminum and Lithium?
Aluminum and lithium are both metals and will not form any ionic compounds together.
When elements combine they form what compounds?
If the elements are both non-metals, they form a molecular compound. If they are both metals, they form a metallic bonds. If they are a metal and a non-metal they form ionic bonds (salts). (Ammonium salts are non-metals.)
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.
