A compound containing potassium and oxygen atoms would have a formula of K2O, and would be named potassium oxide. This is a binary ionic compound.
Potassium chloride. Contains two elements.
Two: "bi" is a prefix borrowed from Greek or Latin that means 2 in its original language.
Three potassium oxides are known: - K2O: 2 potassium atoms and 1 oxygen atom - KO2: 1 potassium atoms and 2 oxygen atoms - K2O2: 2 potassium atoms and 2 oxygen atoms
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.
Binary compound means a compound of two elements so it is KCl

A binary compound is a compound that consists of two elements.
No. A binary compound consists of only two elements.
A binary compound is a chemical compound that contains exactly two different elements. O2 has one, so its not a binary compound.
A binary compound is formed from two different chemical elements.
