What is the difference between a molecule and an ionic compound?
Wiki User
∙ 12y ago
An ionic compound contains at least one positive ion and at least one negative ion, bonded together by this 'magnetic' attraction.
A molecule is not necessarily bonded this way, for example water (H20) contains hydrogen bonds which hold it together, which are not ionic.

IS CaO a ionic compound or a covalent molecule?
CaO is ionic as the electronegativity difference between the two atoms is above 1.7
Is alum ionic or molecular compound?
It is an ionic compound and also has a molecule.
Is Na Cl an ionic compound of molecule?
NaCl is an ionic compound
Is water a molecule or a ionic compound?
molecule
Is V2O5 a covalent or ionic compound?
V2O5 is an ionic compound as the difference in electronegativities between oxygen and vanadium is above 1.7
IS CaO a ionic compound or a covalent molecule?
CaO is ionic as the electronegativity difference between the two atoms is above 1.7
Is NaCl a ionic compound or molecule?
No Its an ionic compound
Why is KF not a diatomic molecule?
There is a very large difference in electronegativity between K and F, so the compound is ionic rather than molecular.
Is alum ionic or molecular compound?
It is an ionic compound and also has a molecule.
Is Na Cl an ionic compound of molecule?
NaCl is an ionic compound
Is water a molecule or a ionic compound?
molecule
Is iron(III) oxide a molecular compound or ionic?
No. Iron III oxide is an ionic compound. This is due to the large difference in electronegativity between oxygen and iron. If the electronegativity difference is greater than 2.0 a compound is generally ionic. The difference between iron and oxygen is 2.61.
Is V2O5 a covalent or ionic compound?
V2O5 is an ionic compound as the difference in electronegativities between oxygen and vanadium is above 1.7
IS Cr2O3 molecular or ionic compound?
It is ionic compound as the difference in the electronegativity between chromium and oxygen is more than 1.7
Is CaCl2 a ionic compound or molecule?
CaCl2 is an ionic compound forming a giant lattice.
Is CaO a polar covalent bond?
No. CaO is an ionic compound.
Is Iron (III) oxide molecular or ionic?
No. Iron III oxide is an ionic compound. This is due to the large difference in electronegativity between oxygen and iron. If the electronegativity difference is greater than 2.0 a compound is generally ionic. The difference between iron and oxygen is 2.61.
