What determines the number of different atoms of each type in a binary ionic compound?
experimentation
How many valence electrons do all the cations have when they bond?
This number is different for each cation.
Is Na2O a covalent or ionic compound?
Sodium Oxide Na2O is ionic. Each formula unit includes two sodium cations and one oxide anion.
What is dialuminum trioxide?
There is no such thing as dialuminum trioxide because the combination of 2 aluminums and 3 oxygens creates an IONIC COMPOUND, since it is between a metal and nonmetal, and ionic compounds are not named the same way as binary molecular compounds which is the way it is named in the question. In naming a binary molecular compound you denote each element with the number of each atom in the formula, which was done with " dialuminum trioxide", except this molecule is NOT a binary molecular compound, but an IONIC COMPOUND. To name an ionic compound you simply drop the ending to the least metallic element (oxygen) and add an -ide. So the outcome is ALUMINUM OXIDE.
A binary ionic compound contains only one kind of cation and one kind of anion?
binary
How are the cations different in each type of binary compound?
cations in a compound are always positive.
What determines the number of different atoms of each type in a binary ionic compound?
experimentation
Is it true that water is not a binary compound because a water molecule contains three atoms?
No.Water is a binary compound. A binary compound contains two elements, regardless of the number of atoms of each.
Cations and anions similar?
No, cations have a positive charge and have lost electrons. Anions have a negative charge and have gained electrons. In an ionic compound anions and cations attract each other due to opposite charges.
Is NaF a binary inonic compound?
yes each have a charge of 1.
How are salts different?
The cations and anions are specific for each salt.
Binary ionic compound in which the anion and cation each have 10 electrons?
NaO
What information do prefixes in the name of a binary molecular compound tell you about the composition of the compound?
The number of atoms in each element .
Is sodium sulfite a binary compound?
No, It shows the formulas of 2 compounds, neither of which are binary. a binary compound is a single compound made of only 2 elements. Each of the compounds above has 3. What is shown are the reactants with balanced coefficients for the acid- base reaction of NaOH and H2SO4
