What are two kinds of compounds?

The two types of compound are molecular and ionic. An ionic compound commonly used is table salt, or NaCl. A molecular compound commonly used is water, or H2O.


Is NaCl an ionic or a molecular compounds?

NaCl is an ionic compound. Na ions are positive charged and Cl ions are negative charged. A Coulomb force is existing between the two kinds of ions, making NaCl an ionic compound.

cation and anion


What is ionic compound and its examples?

Ionic compound also known as electrovalent bond is a type of bond formed from the electrostatic attraction between oppositely charged ions in a chemical compound. These kinds of bonds occur mainly between a metallic and a non metallic atom.

Which type of substance is composed of two or more different kinds of elements always in the same ratio?

Two or more different elements that are chemically combined in a definite ratio is a compound. Based on the nature of the bonds, it can be called an ionic compound (i.e. atoms bonded together by ionic bonds) or an molecular compound (i.e. atoms bonded together by covalent bonds).


What does it mean if you are to carry out an investigation to determine the formula unit of an ionic compound by the use of a precipitation reaction between aqueous solutions?

For reference - here are some definitions: * formula unit of an ionic compound - the lowest whole number ratio of the ions in an ionic compound (shows the ratio of the kinds and numbers of atoms in the compound - e.g. NaCl for sodium chloride) * precipitation reaction - reaction with two aqueous solutions that forms a solid Attempts to reword question: --> Use precipitation reaction between aqueous solutions to work out the formula unit of the ionic compound. How to do this? Will expand when I work it out.
