The charges in a compound should always add to?
By definition, a compound is always neutral. If the polyatomic chemical entity has a charge, it is no longer a compound, but is now a polyatomic ion. Ionic compounds and molecular compounds are also neutral in charge. The word "ionic" is just referring to the type of chemical bond in the molecule.
To name a binary molecular compound you add the suffix -ide to the more ionic of the two elements?
electronegative
What are binary ionic bonds?
It is a bond between two or more ions, usually a metal and nonmetal, whose charges add to zero
What is dialuminum trioxide?
There is no such thing as dialuminum trioxide because the combination of 2 aluminums and 3 oxygens creates an IONIC COMPOUND, since it is between a metal and nonmetal, and ionic compounds are not named the same way as binary molecular compounds which is the way it is named in the question. In naming a binary molecular compound you denote each element with the number of each atom in the formula, which was done with " dialuminum trioxide", except this molecule is NOT a binary molecular compound, but an IONIC COMPOUND. To name an ionic compound you simply drop the ending to the least metallic element (oxygen) and add an -ide. So the outcome is ALUMINUM OXIDE.
How an ionic bond differ from a covalent bond?
Ionic bond the the bond between opposite charges etc Positive and Negative, while covalent bonds are for non-metals were they share electrons to get an inert gas configuration were there valency electrons add up to 8. Ionic bonds are between metals and non-metals.

Ionic compound formula for Sodium Chloride?
Na+1 Cl-1 ------> these are the ions and their chargesNaCl -----> charges add up to zero, so one atom each in the compound
What is the formula for ionic compound formed between magnesium and fluorine?
These are the ions and their charges: Mg+2 F-1The charges have to add up to zero, so two -1 fluorine cancel out one +2 magnesium ion: Mg+2 F-1 F-1Simplify: MgF2

Is CoCl2 ionic or covalent?
Chlorine can form both ionic and covalent bonds, depending on what it is bonded with. If bonded with a metal, it will form an ionic bond. If bonded with a non-metal, it will form a covalent bond.
What is the ionic compound for silver phosphide?
Formula: [Ag+]3[P3-]
Charge on K in compound KIO4?
The charge on K is 1+ explanation: IO4 charge is 1-, so (1+)+(1-)=0. The charges have to add up to 0.
