∙ 13y agoMost likely ionic, as an ionic bond is a neutral bond (meaning it has no charge) and the positivity of the cation and the negativity of the anion would cancel each other out. although it really depends on what type of elements these anions and cations are from. ionic bonds are generally formed from a metal and a nonmetal. covalent bonds are formed from two nonmetals. metallic bonds are formed from two metals.

A binary ionic compound is made of two components Name one of them?
A binary compound will contain atoms of only two elements. If the binary compound only contains nonmetal elements its name will begin with the prefix tetra.
Can an ionic compound ever consist of a cation-cation or anion-anion bond?

In naming a binary ionic compound the name of the appears first followed by the name of the?
Binary ionic compounds are named by writing the name of the action, followed by the name of the anion. Potassium bromide is an example of an ionic compound.
Is SrCl2 a cation or anion?

Does a binary ionic compound contain only one kind of cation and one kind of anion?
yes one is metallic and the other is nonmetallic
How are chemical formulas of binary ionic compounds generally written a. cation on left anion on right b. anion on left cation on right c. Roman numeral first then anion then cation?
a. cantion on left anion on right.
Is silica a cation or an anion?
Neither. Silica is a covalent compound, not an ion.Silicate is an anion.
How does an binary compound different from an polyatomic ion?
A binary compound is a chemical compound made up solely of 2 elements, for example P2O5, Na2O KCl. (The bonding is not relevant- it could be covalent or ionic.)A polyatomic ion is a cation or anion that contains more than one atom. Most contain 2 different elements. For examplepolyatomic anions:- [SO4]2-, [NO3]-polyatomic cation:-[ NH4]+ , [Hg2]2+
