Carbon Dioxide is an example of a compound that is bonded together covalently. An ion is an atom in which the total number of electrons do not match the total number of protons. A compound is a group of atoms bonded together.

Is c6h10o a molecular compound or ionic?

C6H10O is a molecular compound because it is composed of covalently bonded atoms. Ionic compounds are formed from the attraction between positively and negatively charged ions.


What is a polyatomic number?

There is no such thing. There are polyatomic ions, which are positively or negatively charged, covelantly bonded groups of atoms, though.


What types of ions are formed from groups of covalently bonded atoms which have gained or lost electrons?

It depends! if an ion has 7 electrons on its outter region and it decides to gain 1 that would make it stable! if you have 8 on your second region and have an extra electron, you can loose it and the ion will be stable again!


What leads to an ionic compound with polyatomic ions?

An ionic compound with polyatomic ions is formed through the attraction between positively charged metal ions and negatively charged polyatomic ions. Polyatomic ions are covalently bonded groups of atoms that have an overall charge, making them act as a single charged unit in the formation of ionic compounds.


An ionic compound is a compound that consists of molecules made of atoms that are covalently bonded?

Actually, an ionic compound consists of positively and negatively charged ions held together by electrostatic forces. These ions are formed from the transfer of electrons between atoms, leading to the creation of a lattice structure rather than individual molecules.


Do ionic compounds have charged particles?

There's a cation (a positively charged ion, usually a metal), and an anion (a negatively charged ion, usually a nonmetal. These two are strongly bonded together because of their opposite charges.


Can you draw the structures of an ionized carboxyl group and an ionized amino group in one question?

The ionized carboxyl group has a negatively charged oxygen atom bonded to a carbon atom, which is also bonded to a hydroxyl group. The ionized amino group has a positively charged nitrogen atom bonded to two hydrogen atoms.


What is anion cation and polyatomic ion?

Well, a polyatomic may contain a cation in it. A cation is a positively charged ion. They are usually metals. A good way to remember is: "cats" have "paws" because they are "pawsitive". Cheesy, right? Anyways, an example of a polyatomic that contains a cation is NH4+. You know that this polyatomic has a cation by the +1 superscript. This + sign signifies a positive ion, which is called a cation!


Is diamond a ionic crystal?

No, diamond is not an ionic crystal. Diamond is composed of carbon atoms covalently bonded to each other in a three-dimensional crystal lattice structure, rather than being formed by the transfer of electrons between positively and negatively charged ions as in ionic crystals.


What happens when sodium and chlorine join into a molecule?

Sodium and chlorine do not technically form molecules, but instead an ionically bonded salt. The proper term for what corresponds to a molecule in covalently bonded compounds is "formula unit" for ionically bonded compounds.


Why do An object becomes negatively charged?

if some of the positive charges have been either chemically removed or bonded together, that is how they become negatively charged...................... xoxo


Is a compound held together by opposite charges?

Ionically bonded compounds are held together by opposite charges on the anions and cations that constitute the compound. Covalently bonded compounds and metals are held together by other means.
