Some molecules (not just ionic compounds) always tend to come in pairs. Aluminum oxide for example Al2O3 always comes in a pair Al4O6, the empty electron pairs on the Aluminum making attractive sites for the filled electron pairs on Oxygen to 'stick' to.

∙ 9y agoA binary ionic compound is any ionically bonded compound containing a combination of two different elements (but necessarily two ions/atoms). They are easily made out of any two ions that are horizontally opposite on the Periodic Table of Elements, such as NaCl (sodium chloride), CaCl2 (calcium chloride), or even water, H2O (dihydrogen oxide)

Why do ionic compound have high elctrical conductivity in the molten state and in water solution?
Ionic compounds are the compounds with dissociate into cations and anions when dissolved in solution. For example regular table salt (NaCl) is a ionic compound when dissolved in water dissociate into Na+ and Cl- , such a solution then can conduct electricity. Pure water with no impurities (no dissolved ions) is a modest insulater. Ionic compounds are combination of a metal and a non-metal.
Why Ionic hydride's are also known saline hydride's?
Ionic hydrides are called salt-like as salts are ionic. They are high melting and have crystal structures typical of ionic compounds. Hydrides are not straightforward salts, salts typically dissolve in water for instance, whereas hydrides react vigorously with water rather than dissolving in it.
Compound 1 has a melting point of 545 degrees celsius and dissolves well in water?
The high melting point points toward an ionic compound. Ionic compounds dissolve in water ie a a polar solvent. Therefore, it is probably ionic. Next you have to pick up a chemical data book and look at melting points of ionic compounds to find one that has this melting point.
What releases ions when dissolved in water?
Soluble ionic compounds like NaCl, and some covalent compounds like HCl(g) which will dissociate in water.
What is the name ending for compounds made from a metal nonmetals and oxygen?
These compounds are oxides.
Binary ionic compounds are called salts?
yes, but not all salts are binary ionic compounds
An ionic compound is made of a nonmetal and a metal true or false?
It is true of binary ionic compounds but not necessarily of compounds containing polyatomic ions.
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.
Do binary ionic compounds have bonds that share two valence electrons?
No. Ionic compounds are held together by ionic bonds.
What are the compounds of binary ionic compounds?
Aluminum chlorideIron (lll) oxide
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.
What are binary ionic compounds?
Metals and nonmetal ions, Compounds with very different electronegativities
Are binary ionic compounds also called metals?
false
In naming a binary ionic compound the name of the appears first followed by the name of the?
Binary ionic compounds are named by writing the name of the action, followed by the name of the anion. Potassium bromide is an example of an ionic compound.
What are the rules in writing binary ionic compounds?
Cross drop reduce
How do you find out if a compound is ionic or covalent?
If a compound is made from a metal and a non-metal, its bonding will be ionic.If a compound is made from two non-metals, its bonding will be covalent. Compounds containing two elements (so called binary compounds) can either have ionic or covalent bonding.
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
