I am pretty sure another name for an empirical formula is called a Polyatomic ion. Also an ionic compound can also be called a polyatomic ion. I am in 10th grade and i am studying this chapter right now.

What is the prefix that is not always written in a molecular compounds name?
mon
Are molecular compounds formed from semimetals?
Molecular compounds certainly can be formed from semimetals, but not all the compounds of semimetals are molecular.
How do you differentiate simple molecular compounds and giant molecular compounds?
simple molecular compounds have weak forces of atraction.
Why is it that only molecular compounds can have a molecular formula?
Because there are no compounds that aren't molecules/molecular. The question as posed is nonsense. Rephrase?
Are molecular compounds reactive?
yes
What is the relationship between prefixes and molecular compounds?
the relationship between prefixes and molecular compounds is that, prefix are used to name molecular compounds.

What is another name for carbon compounds?
The other name for Carbon Compounds, is Organic Compounds.

How does melting point compare among molecular compounds and ionic compounds?
Molecular compounds tend to have lower melting points.
Are molecular compounds made up of metals or nonmetals?
Some molecular compounds, such as methyl mercury, contain both metals and nonmetals. Most molecular compounds contain only nonmetals, and all molecular compounds contain at least one nonmetal element.
Is Triphosphorous pentachloride ionic or molecular?
Molecular. If you compare the electronegativities of phosphorus and chlorine, the difference between them falls in a spectrum of molecular compounds. The quick and easy answers : 1) non metals only = molecular. 2) the prefixes in the name (tri =3, penta=5) are used for the naming of molecular compounds (and hydrates)
How are the properties of molecular compounds different from those of ionic cmpounds?
Molecular (covalent) compounds are not dissociated in water.
How are atom arranged in molecular compounds?
Atoms are arranged in molecular compounds in groups.
