A metal and a non-metal bond to form an ionic compound.
Fluorine is molecular, but it is an element, not a compound.
Copper itself is a pure element and does not form compounds under normal conditions. However, copper can combine with other elements to form both ionic and molecular compounds depending on the elements it is bonded with.
Sodium chloride (NaCl) is an ionic compound.
Iodine is a molecular compound because it contains two atoms of the same element chemically bonded together.
When lithium and sulfur combine, they do so as Li2S (lithium sulfide). This is an ionic compound.
Mg is the scientific symbol for the element magnesium :)
Neither, because silicon is an element, not a compound.
Chemical compound, which may be molecular or ionic.
Yes, when sodium and nitrogen combine, they form a molecular compound called sodium nitride (Na3N). Sodium donates an electron to nitrogen, resulting in the formation of a stable compound with a ionic bond between the two elements.
Silicon tetrafluoride is a covalent molecular compound, not an ionic compound. It consists of silicon and fluorine atoms that are held together by covalent bonds, where they share electrons to form stable molecules.
Molecular compound
When sulfur and oxygen combine, they form a molecular compound, specifically sulfur dioxide (SO2). This compound is held together by covalent bonds, where the atoms share electrons. Ionic compounds result from the transfer of electrons between elements.
