What are the components of binary molecular compound?
nonmetals. Examples include H2O, CO, NH3, SO2.
Molecular compounds are made up of?
atoms of nonmetals covalently bonded
What are binary covalent compounds?
The covalently bonded compounds which contains two elements
Are binary molecular compounds made out of two cations?
No. Binary molecular compounds are made out of two nonmetals covalently bonded. Examples include H2O, CO, CO2, H2S, NO2, SO2. Two cations would never form a compound because like charges repel.
What type of binary compound usually contains two nonmetals?
A covalently bonded molecular compound
What is a non-binary compound?
Non-binary or polyatomic compounds are covalently bonded atoms with a net charge.
What type of compound does not have cations or anions?
Compounds with covalent bonds form molecules not ions Compounds consisting of non-metals bonded to nonmetals do not form ions
Why do metals and non metals usually form ionic compounds where as two bonded nonmetals are never ionic?
probably because they are different
What are substances composed of different types of atoms bonded together?
A compound is composed of different kinds of atoms that are covalently bonded together. Compounds are made up from atoms of different elements.
How are compounds diffident from mixtures?
Compounds are composed of atoms of different elements chemically bonded in definite proportions. The components of mixtures are not chemically combined and they do not have definite proportions.
Why the term molecule is appropriate for hydrogen chloride but not for sodium chloride?
Hydrogen and chlorine are both nonmetals, and nonmetals form molecular compounds when bonded together. Sodium is a metal and chlorine is a nonmetal, and a metal and a nonmetal form an ionic compound.
Elements are composed of atoms and compounds are composed of?
Elements are atoms, atoms are elements. Elements are not larger objects made up of smaller things (atoms). Elements are specific species' atoms, which have a specific atomic mass which gives rise to the characteristics of the element. Compounds are composed of elements. It is important to note the difference between a compound and a molecule; the words, although often used interchangeably, have aspecific meaning in chemistry. A molecule is a certain type of compound in which the elements have bonded covalently. As such, all compounds are not molecules, but all molecules are compounds.
