When ionic bonds form, the # of electrons lost by the metal atoms equals the # gained by the non metal.

P.S.

I'm an 8th grader and looked in a book. try it, you just might find answers quicker than looking them up usually but not always.

Is P2O4 an ionic compound?

No, P2O4 is not an ionic compound because it is a covalent compound. Ionic compounds are formed between metals and nonmetals, where electrons are transferred from one atom to another to form ions, whereas covalent compounds are formed between nonmetals by sharing electrons.


Is lithium oxide a molecular compound?

No, lithium oxide is an ionic compound. Ionic compounds are formed by the transfer of electrons between a metal and a nonmetal, whereas molecular compounds are formed by sharing electrons between nonmetal atoms. In lithium oxide, lithium is a metal, and oxygen is a nonmetal, resulting in an ionic bond.


What are ionic compounds between?

Ionic compounds form between a metal and a nonmetal. In these compounds, electrons are transferred from the metal to the nonmetal, resulting in the formation of positively charged cations (from the metal) and negatively charged anions (from the nonmetal). These oppositely charged ions then attract each other to form an ionic bond.


Is it a covalent bond or an ionic bond?

a covalent bond is a bond between two nonmetals. the electrons are "shared" between the two atoms. example: H2O. an ionic bond forms between a metal and nonmetal. in an ionic bond, the electrons aren't shared, but are transferred from the metal to the nonmetal, leaving the metal with a positive charge and the nonmetal with a negative charge. examples: MgO, NaCl.


Is H2SO3 ionic or molecular?

H2SO3 is a molecular compound because it is composed of covalent bonds between nonmetal atoms. Ionic compounds typically form between a metal and a nonmetal, where electrons are transferred to form ions, but in the case of H2SO3, it involves sharing of electrons between nonmetal atoms.
