Is the composition of an ionic compound formed by two or more nonmetallic elements?
Ionic compounds do not form between nonmetallic elements. Nonmetallic elements form covalent bonds, and form molecular compounds. Ionic compounds are generally formed by metals and nonmetals.
Does phosphorus triiodide have ionic or covalent bonds?
I think it's covalent as the the two elements are both nonmetallic.
It is true for all compounds Composition of ionic compounds Which is NOT true of compounds Which is?
True: Ionic compounds are composed of anions and cations False: They are composed of nonmetallic elements.
Why are the ionic radii of the negative ions larger than their corresponding atomic radii?
Because their ability to attract electrons is higher from bottom to top and left to right so the elements on the right side or your negative elements will have a bigger ionic radii
What happens to the atomic radius when an electron is gained?
The negative ionic radius is larger than the neutral atomic radius

What kind of elements compose an ionic bond?
metallic and nonmetallic elements

Are ionic compounds make of nonmetallic elements?
Generally ioic compounds contain metals and non metals. However the compound NH4Cl is ionic, and contains NH4+ and Cl- ,and all of the elements are non-metals.
What is the relationship between the atomic numbers and ionic radii of the elements in the group 3A?
I think that the ionic radii decrease
Why are the ionic radii of metallic elements smaller than the atomic radii of the same elements?
The ionic radii of metallic elements is smaller than its atomic radii, because the ion has less electrons. This gives it a smaller electron cloud and makes the atom smaller.
What happens to the atomic radius when an electron is gained?
The negative ionic radius is larger than the neutral atomic radius
How does the ionic radius of a nonmetal compare with its atomic radius?
in the case of non-metals, the anions are formed by the addition of electrons. So the ionic radius is larger than that of the atomic radius
When atoms gains electrons what happens to the atomic radius?
The negative ionic radius is larger than the neutral atomic radius
When electrons are transfered between the atoms of metallic and nonmetallic elements what kind of bonds are formed?
When a metallic atom and a nonmetallic atom have an electron transfer to form an ion, this is known as an ionic compound. For example, salt (NaCl) an electron transfer occurs. The Na, which has 1 electron on its valence shell ( outer shell) and the Cl, which has 7 electrons on its valence shell. The Na transfers its one electron to the Cl. This therefore results in the Cl having a full valence shell; at this point Cl is negative and Na is positive. We can then conclude the NaCl is an ionic compound.
