Is ascorbic acid ionic or covalent?
Citric acid is a covalent compound!
Is NaNO3 ionic or molecular compound?
No, like all sodium (Na) compound it is ionic.
Is CF2Cl2 a molecular or ionic compound?
No, CF2Cl2 is covalent as the the three elements in it (Carbon, Fluorine, and Chlorine) are all nonmetals. Nonmetals form covalent bonds with one another.
True or false the first element in a compound should have no charge?
False, all compounds are electrically neutral.
Sodium bromide covalent or ionic?
NaBr is an ionic compound. Generally, a metal bonded with a nonmetal forms an ionic compound. Also, the difference in electronegativity between Na and Br is 2.03, which is definitely ionic.
What is the sum of all charges in the formula for an ionic compound?
This sum will be zero.
Is K2Cr2O7 a formula unit or molecules?
Yes, potassium sulfide is a molecular compound.
Na2O is not a molecular formula why?
Because Na2O is an ionic compound Sodium (Na) does not form molecules. All of its compounds are ionic.
Is ascorbic acid ionic or covalent?
Citric acid is a covalent compound!
Is NaNO3 ionic or molecular compound?
No, like all sodium (Na) compound it is ionic.
Why is aluminum fluoride ionic and aluminum iodide is covalent?
Aluminium iodide is covalent because the electron pair is easily dragged away from the iodide ion. On the other hand, aluminium fluoride is ionic because the aluminium ion can't polarise the small fluoride ion sufficiently to form a covalent bond.
What is the empirical formula of MgO?
MgO is an ionic compound and all the ionic compounds are represented by their emperical formula because actual no of atoms can not be represented due to a very huge crystal formation.(crystal lattice).
Is CF2Cl2 a molecular or ionic compound?
No, CF2Cl2 is covalent as the the three elements in it (Carbon, Fluorine, and Chlorine) are all nonmetals. Nonmetals form covalent bonds with one another.
True or false the first element in a compound should have no charge?
False, all compounds are electrically neutral.
How do you calculate the equivalent weight of compound?
the sum of the atomic weights for all the atoms in the formula
Sodium bromide covalent or ionic?
NaBr is an ionic compound. Generally, a metal bonded with a nonmetal forms an ionic compound. Also, the difference in electronegativity between Na and Br is 2.03, which is definitely ionic.
Is salt always a ionic compound?
All ionic compound are not salts but all salts are ionic compounds for example NaOH is an ionic compound but not the salt.
