Both CATIONS (M^([n]+)) and ANIONS (X^([n]-)) are needed.
It has a high melting point.
It does NOT conduct electricity as a solid, but does conduct electricity, when liquid or in solution.
The bonding is ionic (NOT Covalent)
Forms a giant crystalline lattice.
Yes it is.
The ionic compound formed between aluminum and chlorine is aluminum chloride (AlCl3). In this compound, aluminum donates three electrons to each chlorine atom to form a stable ionic bond.
No. Not all binary compounds are ionic and not all ionic compounds are binary. An ionic compound is a compound formed by the exchange rather than the sharing of electrons. A binary compound is any compound of exactly 2 elements. Examples: Sodium chloride (NaCl, compound sodium and chlorine) is both binary and ionic. Potassium hydroxide (KOH, compound of potassium, hydrogen, and oxygen) is ionic but not binary. Water (H2O, compound of hydrogen and oxygen) is binary, but covalent, not ionic.
Yes, PC13 is an ionic compound. It is composed of a polyatomic ion, phosphorus trichloride (PCl3), which consists of a phosphorus atom bonded to three chlorine atoms through ionic bonds.
An ionic compound is not represented by a molecular formula because it does not exist as discrete molecules. Instead, it exists as a three-dimensional array of positively and negatively charged ions held together by ionic bonds. The formula for an ionic compound represents the simplest ratio of the ions present in the compound.
"Ternary" means that the compound contains three elements.
Yes it is.

The formula for the ionic compound aluminum chloride is AlCl3. This indicates that one aluminum atom combines with three chlorine atoms to form the compound.
Ammonia is a molecular compound. It consists of individual molecules made up of covalently bonded atoms (one nitrogen and three hydrogen). It does not contain ions like in ionic compounds.
Zyban is not an ionic compound.
The positive and negative ions pack up alternately and create a three dimensional ionic lattice.
