Ionic compounds are composed of?
a metal cation and a nonmetal anion
Most salts are binary ionic compounds. A.True?
True. Most salts are binary ionic compounds composed of a metal cation and a nonmetal anion.
Ionic compounds are named by writing the cation name followed by the anion name?
Yes, for binary ionic compounds, the cation (metal) name comes first followed by the anion (nonmetal) name. The anion name typically has an "-ide" ending. For example, sodium chloride is composed of the cation sodium and the anion chloride.
Most salts are binary ionic compounds. A. True?
True. Most salts are binary ionic compounds composed of a cation from a metallic element and an anion from a nonmetallic element.
Is salt an ionic compound composed of an anion from an acid?
Yes salt is formed from ionic bonding of a cation and an anion.
What are the compounds of binary ionic compounds?
Binary ionic compounds are composed of a metal cation and a nonmetal anion. The cation (metal) gives away electrons while the anion (nonmetal) accepts them to form a stable ionic bond. Examples include sodium chloride (NaCl), magnesium oxide (MgO), and potassium iodide (KI).
Is LiOH an ionic or covalent compound?
LiOH is an ionic compound. It is composed of a lithium cation (Li+) and a hydroxide anion (OH-). Ionic compounds are formed by the transfer of electrons between a metal and a nonmetal.
Is iodine a cation or anion?
An iodine is an anion, or a negatively charged ion.
Ionic compounds are composed of oppositely charged what?
Ionic compounds are composed of oppositely charged ions, typically a metal cation and a non-metal anion. These ions are held together by electrostatic forces of attraction, forming a stable crystal lattice structure.
Can an ionic compound ever consist of a cation -cation or anion-anion bond?
Can an ionic compound ever consist of a cation-cation or anion- anion bond? Explain.
Is NH4NO3 Ammonium Nitrate a molecular or ionic substance?
It's an ionic substance. Well it's true that ionic substances are usually composed of a metal + a non-metal (or a polyatomic anion), but ionic substances can also be composed of a polyatomic cation + a non-metal (or a polyatomic anion). anion: negatively charged ion cation: positively charged ion
How are nonmetals in ionic compounds named?
Nonmetals(anion) are written second after the metal(cation).
