What is the difference between molecular compounds and molecular element?
mix
The properties of both ionic and molecular compounds are related to the?
strengths of attraction between the particles in the compounds
What is the difference between ionic and molecular compound?
Ionic compounds contain ionic compounds whereas molecular compounds contain covalent bonds in their molecules.
What are characteristics of molecular compounds?
Molecular (more correct is covalent) compounds have covalent bonds; electrons are shared between two atoms.
How do you distinguish between the formulas of binary ionic and binary molecular compounds?
Binary ionic compounds have 2 elements, the element on the left (cation) should be a metal (left side of the zig zag line), and the other element on the right should be nonmetal (right side of the zig zag line)Binary molecular compounds have 2 NON METAL elements
What is the relationship between prefixes and molecular compounds?
the relationship between prefixes and molecular compounds is that, prefix are used to name molecular compounds.

isomers?
Compounds that have the same atoms (molecular formula) but different in the connectivity between the atoms are constitutional (formerly 'structural') isomers.
How do you distinguish between a macro-molecular from molecular?
A macromolecule is formed from many molecules linked together in a chain and of course has a higher molecular mass.
How would you distinguish between the following pair of compounds using IR spectoscopy(benzyl alcohol and p-cresol)?
Absorption spectra are different.
What is the chemical formula of a molecular compound called?
Molecular compounds are formed between two ionic bonds
Why use prefixes for molecular compounds?
two ions can combine in only one combination
How do molecular compounds achieve stability?
Intramolecular attraction forces between atoms.
