Ternary means three different elements (binary means two). These are salts with either :-
To write the formula for a ternary ionic compound, determine the charges of the ions involved. The charge of the cation becomes the subscript for the anion, and vice versa. Balance the charges to ensure overall neutrality in the compound. Remember to use parentheses when needed for polyatomic ions.
The ternary ionic compound Li2SO3 is lithium sulfite. It is composed of lithium ions (Li+) and sulfite ions (SO3^2-).
It is a liquid so is molecular all the ionic compounds are solids.
No, H2SO4 is not a binary ionic compound. It is a polyatomic molecule called sulfuric acid, consisting of hydrogen (H), sulfur (S), and oxygen (O) atoms. Binary ionic compounds consist of only two elements, typically a metal cation and a nonmetal anion.

Ionic compounds.
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.

Ionic compounds generally have higher melting and boiling points.
