Is atmosphere ionic or covalent molecules?
Covalent molecules with small amounts of argon which is monatomic. All molecules are covalent. Ionic compounds form crystals, not molecules.
What is the difference between and ionic and covalent bond?
Compounds with covalent bonds form molecules. Compounds with ionic bonds form ionic lattices.
What compounds does sulfur form?
Sulfur can form both ionic and covalent compounds. For example, sulfur dioxide is a covalent compound whereas sulfides of metals are ionic compounds.
Does polonium form ionic or covalent bonds?
Generally covalent compounds.
What compounds does oxygen form?
ionic and covalent compound
Is Shares Electrons a ionic or a covalent compounds?
"Shares electrons" is a characteristic of covalent bonds, which form covalent compounds.
Does gold form ionic or covalent bonds when it forms a compound?
Ionic compounds
Is argon atomic molecular or ionic?
It is neither. Argon, being a NOBLE/Inert gas, does NOT form any compounds, be they ionic or covalent. As a Noble Gas it is described as Monatomic. It exists as SINGLE unreactive atoms.
Is clorine a covalent or ionic?
Chlorine, Cl2 is covalent. Any molecules which consist of two atoms of the same element must be covalent. In compounds with other elements chlorine can form ionic or covalent compounds.
Is calcium fluoride an example of a covalent compound?
Calcium fluoride is an example of an ionic compound, not a covalent compound. Covalent compounds form between two nonmetals, while ionic compounds form between a metal and a nonmetal.
Do ionic compounds form from the sharing of electron pairs?
No. Ionic compounds are formed by transfer of electrons Covalent compounds are formed by sharing of electrons
Is ammonium a ionic?
ammonium compounds are ionic compounds but with in ammonium ion three hydrogens form covalent bonds while 4th forms coordinate covalent bond.
