Bonded compounds of the same molecule are for most purposes identical. Bonded compounds of different molecules in that they share or trade electrons of their constituant atoms.
Covalently bonded compounds are characterized by a molecular formula, because such compounds exist in the form of discrete molecules, all of the atoms of which move together as kinetic-molecular units. Ionically bonded compounds do not have molecules in this sense: Their compounds are made up of at least two kinds of ions, one positive and the other negative, and the ions in these compounds can move separately as kinetic-molecular units: If a positive ion is separated from the particular negative ion with which it was most closely associated initially in a fluid mixture, usually a solution in an ionizing solvent, of both kinds of ions, another negative ion with the same properties is always close by.
it is not true that some compounds can usually be indetified based solely on their physical properties.
AnswerOne reason for the very large number of organic molecules (compared to the total number of inorganic compounds) is due to constitutional isomerism. Constitutional isomerism are different compounds that have the same molecular formula but differ in their connectivity, that is, in the sequence in which their atoms are bonded together.
Basically, all organic compounds have carbon and organic chemistry is the study of carbon based comounds. Inorganic generally do not contain carbon (with exceptions being carbon monoxide, carbon dioxide, metal carbonates, metal bicarbonates and metal carbides).
No. Sodium fluoride is purely ionically bonded. Some other salts, most commonly those of oxyacids, such as sulfate, phosphate, and nitrate, are both covalently and ionically bonded
Milk is a complex mixture of substances, so the question is meaningless. It can only be answered for a pure compound. Water makes up most of milk, and that is covalent, as are most of the substances in it, but there are some ionic ones too.

Most Ionically bonded substances are solid, this makes me assume that Rubbing alcohol has covalent bonds.
A substance that has properties different from the chemical elements in it is a chemical compound. A chemical compound is built from chemical elements that are chemically bonded together. And the "finished product" will have chemical properties that are unique to that compound, and different from the properties of the substances that make it up.
This is one of the most common definitions of "inorganic" compounds.
Most molecular compounds do not conduct electricity and have low melting points.
As sodium is a metal, and sulphur is a non-metal, it would most likely be ionically bonded. Hence, undergoing Ionic Bonding.
They are ionic compounds and solids.
A specific element cannot be mentioned as it tends to bond ionically with other compounds. Most compounds of the alkali metals are ionic. However, it can be said that a reactive metal element and a non metal element can form ionic bonds in most cases.
No, they're not. The most common organic compounds are hydrocarbons - just carbon with hydrogen bonded to it in various configurations.
