Is SO a molecular or ionic solid?
Molecular. Covalently bonded between the species.
Describe the difference between a crystalline solid and an amorphous solid?
Amorphous solid:a solid with considerable disorder in its structure.Crystalline solid: solids with highly regular arrangements of their components. There are three types of crystalline solids; ionic, molecular, and atomic.
Is AlP an ionic or molecular compound?
AlP is a solid and it is not molecular. The difference in electronegativity is only 0.58. The bonding is It is best described as polar covalent . There are many compounds that are not molecular but are covalent giant molecules.
Ionic solid harder than molecular solids?
yes
What happens to the particles of a ionic solid and a molecular solid when each mixes with water?
they desolve
Which solid is more likely to have the lowest melting point an ionic solid or molecular solid?
Molecular Solids have a lower melting point
How do you know a compound is ionic or molecular?
An ionic compound is a pure substance that is formed from a metal and a nonmetal. It has a fairly high melting point and is a conductor of electricity when in a molten or aqueous state . A molecular compound, on the other hand, is a pure substance that is formed from nonmetals. It has a fairly low melting point, and cannot conduct electricity regardless of state. Another important difference between the two is that an ionic compound is a crystalline solid at standard ambient temperature and pressure (SATP), whereas a molecular compound can be in a solid, gas or liquid state at SATP.
Is Cuo a ionic or molcular?
The simplest description is that it is ionic, and the argument is that the difference in electronegativity causes a full transfer of electrons. It is high melting solid and certainly i not molecular. As with many metal oxides the real bonding is somewhere between ionic and covalent, and this is particularly true for metals other than those in group1 and 2. I personally do not like the categorisation of compounds into ionic and molecular. Many macro crystalline solids are covalent.
Is a white crystalline solid ionic or molecular?
"White crystalline" is not a criterion in this case.
Is S(s) is ionic or molecular and atomic solid?
Sulfur is a chemical element.
What are the properties of ionic and molecular compounds?
Ionic compounds are between metals and non-metals. Molecular (covalent) compounds are between only non-metals. (Metallic compounds are between metals and other metals) An ionic compound is a pure substance that is formed from a metal and a nonmetal. It has a fairly high melting point and is a conductor of electricity when in a molten or aqueous state. A molecular compound, on the other hand, is a pure substance that is formed from nonmetals. It has a fairly low melting point, and can only conduct electricity unless it is aqueous and polar. Another important difference between the two is that an ionic compound is a crystalline solid at standard temperature and pressure (STP), whereas a molecular compound can be in a solid, gas or liquid state at STP.
What is the difference between ionic covalent and molecular compound?
Ionic compounds are between metals and non-metals. Molecular (covalent) compounds are between only non-metals. (Metallic compounds are between metals and other metals.) An ionic compound is a pure substance that is formed from a metal and a nonmetal. It has a fairly high melting point and is a conductor of electricity when in a molten or aqueous state. A molecular compound, on the other hand, is a pure substance that is formed from nonmetals. It has a fairly low melting point, and cannot conduct electricity regardless of state. Another important difference between the two is that an ionic compound is a crystalline solid at standard temperature and pressure (STP), whereas a molecular compound can be in a solid, gas or liquid state at STP. Molecular compound is derived from combinations of different molecules while ionic compound is derived from inducing electrical current into molecules. if the compound contains a metal bonded to a nonmetal, it is most likely an ionic compound. It the compound contains two nonmetals, it is a molecular compound.
