Ionic compounds are generally made up of nonmetals and metals, while molecular compounds are normally made up of nonmetals only.

Can you explain the difference between e vs z organic compounds and how it impacts their properties"?

E and Z refer to the stereochemistry of double bonds in organic compounds. In E isomers, the higher priority groups are on opposite sides of the double bond, while in Z isomers, they are on the same side. This impacts properties like stability, reactivity, and physical characteristics of the compounds.


What are the key differences between m vs m chemistry and how do they impact the properties and reactivity of molecules?

Molecular vs. Materials chemistry differ in focus: molecular chemistry studies individual molecules, while materials chemistry studies how molecules come together to form materials. This impacts properties and reactivity as molecular chemistry focuses on understanding the behavior of molecules in isolation, while materials chemistry considers how molecules interact to create new properties and reactivity in bulk materials.


What are Differences between covalent bond vs ionic bond?

Covalent is two non-metals sharing electrons while Ionic is a metal and a nonmetal where one takes an electron and changes both of the elements charges for example Nitrogen and Oxygen would be covalent while Iron and Oxygen would be Ionic


Is CO a ionic compound or a pure covalent compound?

I'm not sure what you mean by "purely covalent", since the ionic-vs-covalent distinction is expressed in terms of electronegativity, which can take a range of values (higher values = more ionic). CO is very much a covalent compound though.


Is ZnS an ionic compound?

An ionic compound is formed between a metal and a non-metal. Zinc is a metal and iodine is a non-metal. Zinc needs to lose two electrons in order to have a full outer shell, and iodine needs to gain one electron to have a full outer shell. One zinc atom will form a positive ion (Zn2+), and two iodine atoms will gain one electron each from the zinc atom, forming negative ions (I-). As such, the chemical formula of zinc iodide is ZnI2. The equations below demonstrate this.Zn --> Zn2+ + 2e-2I + 2e- --> 2I-

What are the characteristics that can be used to divide animals into groups?

Animals can be divided into groups based on characteristics such as presence of a backbone (vertebrates vs. invertebrates), their method of reproduction (egg-laying vs. live birth), body covering (fur vs. scales), habitat (land vs. water), and feeding habits (carnivores vs. herbivores vs. omnivores).


Key biographical characteristics and the personality attributes that can influence the behavior of the employees in the department?

Key biographical characteristics include such things as education, previous work experience, and criminal convictions if any. Key personality attributes include such things as intelligence vs. stupidity, honesty vs. dishonesty, and responsibility vs. irresponsibility. For some types of work we could add creativity vs. lack of imagination.

Is iron sulphide an compound?

Yes...though there are several different compounds termed iron sulphide that have different stoichiometries [atomic proportions] and/or crystal structures. For example pyrite [FeS2] vs. troilite [FeS] are different compounds, though both are "iron sulphide".
