Is magnesium sulphate a metal or non metal?
Magnesium sulfate is a compound, and the terms metal a nonmetal do not apply to it.
Ionic or covalent compounds?
Ionic compounds are metals and nonmetals combined to form a compound. KI= Potassium (metal) Iodide(nonmetal) Covalent compounds are nonmetals and nonmetals combined. NO2= Nitrogen (nonmetal) Dioxide (nonmetal)
How can you identify a covalent compound?
covalent compounds is two nonmetals. example: phosphorus and oxygen are a covalent compound. ionic compounds is when you have a metal and a nonmetal or a metal and a polyatomic.
Is magnesium oxide a metal or non metal?
magnesium is neather a metal nor a non metal. instead it was discovered on the moon in 1899 on the first space walk. since then it has been used to build flame resistant bridges and the 2010 aero sun probe.
Is Di-nitrogen Pentabromide a nonmetal?
No: The distinction between metals and nonmetals is a property of elements or mixtures of elements (alloys), but dinitrogen pentabromide is a compound.
Is magnesium oxide a metal?
No. It is a compound of a metal and a nonmetal. Magnesium on its own is a metal.
Is salt a nonmetal or a metalloid?
Salt is a compound of Sodium (Na) and of Chlorine (Cl), thus, it is a nonmetal because it is a compound of 2 nonmetals. Na is not a nonmetal it is a highly active metal. This can be easily googled.
Is magnesium sulphate a metal or non metal?
Magnesium sulfate is a compound, and the terms metal a nonmetal do not apply to it.
From what class(es) of elements is the following compound made nitrogen dioxide?
Nitrogen and oxygen are gases, nonmetals.
Is the element sodium a metal nonmetal or metalloid?
Salt is a compound of Sodium (Na) and of Chlorine (Cl), thus, it is a nonmetal because it is a compound of 2 nonmetals. Na is not a nonmetal it is a highly active metal. This can be easily googled.
What type of compound is formed when elements combine?
It depends on the elements that are combining. if they are a metal and a nonmetal then it would be an ionic compound. If they are both nonmetals then it would be a molecular compound.
Is Iodine hexafluoride an ionic or molecular compound?
It is Molecular Compound. You can tell because it starts with a nonmetal and molecular compounds typically start with nonmetals.
Why the term molecule is appropriate for hydrogen chloride but not for sodium chloride?
Hydrogen and chlorine are both nonmetals, and nonmetals form molecular compounds when bonded together. Sodium is a metal and chlorine is a nonmetal, and a metal and a nonmetal form an ionic compound.
Ionic or covalent compounds?
Ionic compounds are metals and nonmetals combined to form a compound. KI= Potassium (metal) Iodide(nonmetal) Covalent compounds are nonmetals and nonmetals combined. NO2= Nitrogen (nonmetal) Dioxide (nonmetal)
Do a solid contains only one nonmetal element?
A chemical compound, solid, may contain many nonmetals.
Which is most likely a compound formed with covalent bonds?
Molecule. A nonmetal to nonmetal covalent bond. Electronegativity is not variant enough among the nonmetals to form ionic bonds.
How can you identify a covalent compound?
covalent compounds is two nonmetals. example: phosphorus and oxygen are a covalent compound. ionic compounds is when you have a metal and a nonmetal or a metal and a polyatomic.
