Examples of ionic and covalent compounds?

Ionic compounds: NaCl, KOH, CuSO4, etc. Any compound containing a metal and a non-metal. In ionic compounds, metals have positive ions (they lose electrons to the non metal) and non-metals have negative ions (as they gain electrons from the metal) Covalent compounds: CH4, BF3, NH3, all hydrocarbons/ all compounds containing only non-metals.


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.


What type of ions does titanium form?

Silicon does not form ionic compounds containing Si cations. It is after all a non-metal. There are some "odd" compounds called silicides binary compounds of metals with silicon but generally these are not ionic, only those with the more reactive metals have ionic nature, silicon forming cluster anions (Zintl compounds) such as Si44- (isoelectronic with P4 molecule)


Are non binary compounds and polyatomic compounds the same thing?

yes


What is a non-binary compound?

Non-binary or polyatomic compounds are covalently bonded atoms with a net charge.


What compounds are formed with the element of chlorine?

chlorine forms ionic compounds with metals and covalent compounds with non-metals.


What general type element is involved in Type 2 compounds?

Binary compounds are those in which two elements combine. If one is a metal and the other a non-metal, the result is an ionic compound. If both are non-metals, that is called a molecular compound.


What element forms compounds with nonmetals?

Metals form compounds very easily with non-metals.


What is the difference between binary ionic and molecular compound?

A binary compound contains two elements. An ionic compound will contain cations and anions and form an infinite lattice for example sodium chloride, NaCl, calcium fluoride, CaF2. A binary molecular compound will form molecules for example water, H2O, carbon monoxide, CO. The ionic compounds will generally be high melting brittle solids, molecular compounds will vary from gases, (lighter ones) through to liquids and solids, for example the alkanesCnH2n+2,Ionic compounds are generally formed by metals and non-metals, molecular generally from non-metals.


What are the kinds of carbon compounds?

Well how loosely are we considering "types" of carbon compounds? At the most basic, you could say there are two types: organic and inorganic. Although theoritically any compound containing carbon should be considered organic, this is often not the case. You could also catogorise the following way: Organic; Inorganic compounds with other non-metals; Inorganic compounds with metals. Compounds with metals can also be split further, to include: Carbonates and bicarbonates; Carbonyls; Compounds containing the CN group; Carbides; and other miscilaneous compounds such as Bucky Balls!
