No,, the consist of only two elements, or two types of atom.

But depending can consist of more than two atoms depending on the valences of the elements involved.

Examples (covalent): H2O, H2O2, CO2, SF6, Cl2O7,

Examples (ionic): Na2O, Na2O2, CaF2, Fe2O3

Phosphorus pentachloride is a covalent compound.


Are binary ionic compounds also called metals?

No, binary ionic compounds are made up of positively charged metal ions and negatively charged nonmetal ions. While metals can form ionic compounds with nonmetals, not all metals are involved in forming binary ionic compounds.

Is carbon tetrabromide a binary ionic compound?

No, carbon tetrabromide is not a binary ionic compound. It is a covalent compound composed of carbon and bromine atoms held together by sharing electrons. Binary ionic compounds are formed between a metal and a nonmetal, where the metal loses electrons to the nonmetal.


How do you know if you have an ionic or molecular compound?

The easiest difference to see is that ionic compounds dissolved in water conduct electricity, while covalent ones do not. Ionic compounds consist of a metal and non-metal, but covalents have only non-metal atoms.


Binary ionic compounds are called salts?

yes, but not all salts are binary ionic compounds
