highly electropositive elements react with highly electronegative elements to form ionic compounds.
The former forms cations and the latter forms anions and the force of attraction between the positively charged cation and the negatively charged anion is the ionic bond.
When carbon reacts with chlorine, the result is a covalent compound, specifically, carbon tetrachloride. And of course, all sorts of organic compounds can be chlorinated by partial or complete replacement of hydrogen atoms by chlorine. But the compound will never be ionic.
Yes, rocks are made up of various minerals, which are composed of elements. These elements include oxygen, silicon, aluminum, iron, calcium, sodium, and others. Rocks provide valuable information about the Earth's composition and history based on the elements they contain.
No, the elements helium and neon have no known nor likely compounds with any degree of stability at all. Many of the artificial elements cannot in practice be used to make compounds, because they live for too short a time before their radioactive decay to another element. We do know in theory what sorts of compounds they might make, and many of their likely properties.
it sorts out all the different scientific elements :)
Noble gases are generally inert, but noble gases down the group like xenon will react with highly electronegative elements like fluorine or oxygen to form compounds like XeF4, XeF6, XeOF2 etc.
Wood isn't an element because it contains different types of atoms. It is a substance made of all sorts of various elements, such as carbon, hydrogen, oxygen and nitrogen. These elements form compounds, which are then built up to make materials such as wood.
He proposed that elements are basically composed of 'corpuscles' of various sorts and sizes capable of organising themselves into groups and that each group constitutes a chemical substance. He clearly distinguished between mixtures and compounds and showed that a compound can have very different properties from those of its constituents.
Here are some characteristics of compounds:Compounds are made up of 2 or more elements and they are all chemically bonded.The properties of a compound are different from the elements that make it up.Compounds can be broken back into elements by chemical reaction, exposure to light, etc.Compounds can be separated only chemically, not by physical meansThe mass of the compound is determined by the mass of the elements that make it up.When compounds are formed heat and light is given out or absorbed.Compounds have definite proportions.
A "spectrum" of sorts exists when it comes to bonding. Ionic is an one end and covalent is at the other. Electronegativity difference between constituent elements is what determines a compound's placement on this bonding spectrum. Cesium fluoride, for instance, has the greatest electronegativity difference of any metal-nonmetal combination. Therefore, CsF is very near the ionic extreme of the bonding spectrum. However, even this formula unit will exhibit tiny amounts of covalent character based upon the random motion of electrons.
Silver nitrate is AgNO3 so it is not a binary compound as it contains three elemnts. The term binary ionic is unusual - chemists normally say a binary compound, binary ionic may be taken to mean just two sorts of ions in which case it would be classified as a binary ionic as ther are two ions Ag+ and NO3-
Not quite sure what the questioner is aiming at. Group 2 halides , such as MgCl2 dissolve to give 3 ions. Compounds such as alum, KAl(SO4)2.12H2O which dissolves to give K+, Al3+, SO42- dissolve to give 3 different sorts of ions.
No, you don't see it listed anywhere on the Periodic Table!
