Zinc sulphide is actually an ionic compound.
The smallest whole number ratio of elements in an ionic or covalent compound is known as the empirical formula. It represents the simplest ratio of atoms of each element in a compound.
First, Ag is an element and not a compound at this form. Its name is silver
The chemical formula of ammonia is NH3; the solution in water is basic - NH4OH. The molecule NH3 is polar. Ammonia is not an element but a chemical compound.
In Chemthink Ionic Formulas, X represents an unknown element that you need to identify by determining the charge of the cation and anion in the ionic compound. By balancing the charges using X as the unknown element, you can deduce the correct formula for the compound.

Chemical compounds can be either IONIC or COVALENT, or both e,g, Sodium chloride (Na^(+)Cl^(-)) is ionic Carbon dioxide (O=C=O) is covalent. potassium cyanide (K^(+)(-)^C///N) is both ionic an (Triple bonded) covalent. ALL Chemical compounds are bonded either by ionically, or covalently, or an mixture. Metal have metallic bonding. So an ionic compound is an example of chermical bonding, as is cavalent compound.
Ca (calcium) is an element, not a compound. and it can only form ionic compounds.
In Chemthink Ionic Formulas, X represents an unknown element that you need to identify by determining the charge of the cation and anion in the ionic compound. By balancing the charges using X as the unknown element, you can deduce the correct formula for the compound.
Iron is not a compound, it is a metallic element.
No. It is an ionic compound.
The element that forms the cation (positive ion) comes first in the formula for an ionic compound.
Ferric chloride is an ionic compound (and is classified as a salt).
Fluorine is molecular, but it is an element, not a compound.
