Ionic compound of cesium and oxygen?
CsO2
Is P2O4 an ionic compound?
ionic = metal + nonmetal covalent = nonmetal + nonmetal So your compound is covalent because P (Phosphorus) is a nonmetal and O (oxygen) is a nonmetal.
Is H2O an ionic or molecular compound?
it's a molecular compound due to the fact that it's made up of two non-metal elements. Ionic compounds and made up of a metal and a non-metal
What is the term for a compound containing hydrogen a nonmetal and oxygen dissolved in water?

Is P2O4 an ionic compound?
ionic = metal + nonmetal covalent = nonmetal + nonmetal So your compound is covalent because P (Phosphorus) is a nonmetal and O (oxygen) is a nonmetal.
What is the chemical compound that contains a nonmetal chemically combined with oxygen?
This is an oxide.
What is a chemical compound that contains a nonmetal chemically combined with oxygen'?
This is an oxide.
Is H2O an ionic or molecular compound?
it's a molecular compound due to the fact that it's made up of two non-metal elements. Ionic compounds and made up of a metal and a non-metal
Is SO3 a nonmetal or a metal?
SO3 is a compound and therefore is neither a metal nor a nonmetal, because these are types of chemical elements, not of compounds. This particular compound consists of two nonmetal elements, sulfur and oxygen.
What is the term for a compound containing hydrogen a nonmetal and oxygen dissolved in water?
ternary oxyacid
When oxygen is bonded to a metal it forms a n compound when it is bonded to a nonmetal it forms a n compound?
it forms (ionic, covalent) your answer
Can calcium and oxygen form an ionic bond?
because calcium is a group 2 element which makes it a metal an oxygen is a group 6 element which makes it a a nonmetal. calcium have to lose 2 electrons to become iso-electronic to neon (to become stable) and oxygen need two electron's to become iso-electronic to neon as well (to become stable) calcium transfer its 2 electrons to oxygen its will become stable and so will oxygen. because this type of bonding took place between a metal an a nonmetal its refers to as a ionic bonding and the compound which form as a result of this type of bonding is known as a ionic compound
Is nitrate a metal or a nonmetal?
Silver nitrate is a compound. It consists of the metal silver and the compound nitrate. Nitrate consists of nitrogen and oxygen.
Is selenium a akali metal?
No, selenium is not an alkali metal. It is a nonmetal element that belongs to the chalcogen group on the periodic table. Alkali metals include elements such as lithium, sodium, potassium, and cesium.
Is sodium and oxygen ionic compound?
