Acetic acid is a covalent molecule. In aqueous medium, it dissociates into ions in order to liberate protons. On the other hand, almost every acetate salts are ionic compounds.

Is calcium acetate covalent or ionic?

Calcium acetate is ionic. It is formed when a calcium cation (Ca2+) and an acetate anion (C2H3O2-) bond together through ionic bonds, which involve the transfer of electrons.


Is NaCH2CO2 an ionic or covalent bond?

NaCH2CO2 is a compound, not a bond. It contains sodium (Na) which forms ionic bonds with the acetate ion (CH2CO2), which contains covalent bonds within the acetate group.


Is LiCH3COO an ionic or covalent bond?

LiCH3COO contains both ionic and covalent bonds. The bond between lithium (Li) and acetate ion (CH3COO) is ionic, while the bonds within the acetate ion itself (between carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen atoms) are covalent.


Does Sodium acetate contain ionic and covalent bonds?

Yes, it contains both. The sodium forms an ionic bond with the one oxygen with a single bond (not double) with the carbon, becoming the cation (positive charge). This oxygen and all other atoms in the acetate form covalent bonds.


Is LiC2H3O2 ionic or covalent bond?

LiC2H3O2 is a covalent bond. The compound lithium acetate consists of covalent bonds between lithium and the acetate ion, which itself has covalent bonds between carbon and oxygen atoms.


Is lithium acetate a covalent or ionic bond?

In lithium acetate, there are ionic bonds between positive lithium ions and negative acetate ions, and within the acetate ions themselves, there are covalent bonds between carbon and oxygen and hydrogen.


Is soduim acetate covalent or ionic?
