An ionic compound is formed by the complete transfer of electrons from a metal to a nonmetal and the resulting ions have achieved an octet. The protons do not change. Metal atoms in Groups 1-3 lose electrons to nonmetal atoms with 5-7 electrons missing in the outer level.

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.
What elements would you react together to make the compound iron sulphate?
iron and sulphur
Would Ca and Cl react to form an ionic compound?
Yes, any combination of a metal and a nonmetal could potentially form am ionic compound. However, some reactions may have to be forced by raising temperature, changing pressure, or stressing equilibrium. In this particular case, though, they would react to make CaCl2 or calcium chloride.
Which element when combined with chlorine would most likely fom an ionic compound?
Among the naturally occurring elements, the most likely one would be cesium, the least electronegative of all elements. In practice, any of the other alkali metals and any of the alkaline earth metals would usually react readily with chlorine gas, as would many of the transition metals.
Table salt would be classified as what type of compound Ionic Covalent or Coordinate?
ionic compound
What elements would react with two atoms of sodium to form an ionic compound?
sodium
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.
Which of these elements would form an ionic compound with lithium?
Almost every non metal except the elements in group 18 can make ionic bonds with lithium.
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.
Elements that form bonds by electron sharing would be called?
it is called IONIC compound
What elements would you react together to make a compound iron sulphide?
DYUUNII
What elements would you react together to make the compound iron sulphate?
iron and sulphur
What elements would react with two atoms of sodium to form an ionic compound calcium oxygen or nitrogen?
Oxygen would do so. The product formed would be sodium oxide, with chemical formula Na2O. It is an ionic compound with sodium and oxygen being in the ration 2:1 in a giant lattice structure, with strong electrostatic attraction between oppositely charged Na+ and O2- ions.
Would Ca and Cl react to form an ionic compound?
Yes, any combination of a metal and a nonmetal could potentially form am ionic compound. However, some reactions may have to be forced by raising temperature, changing pressure, or stressing equilibrium. In this particular case, though, they would react to make CaCl2 or calcium chloride.
Is chlorine oxide ionic or compound?
Chlorine oxide would be a covalent compound, and not an ionic compound.
Why would ionic compound be more likely to dissolve in water in oil?
An ionic compound can form interactions with water. Water happens to be a polar molecule. The positive ions are going to react with the partially charged negative ions (that are in the water). The negative ions will react with the partially positive charged hydrogen atoms in the water. But the ionic compound won't dissolve in oil because it can't form the same reaction.
What compound would form if helium and platinum combined?
Helium is inert and doesn't react with any other elements.
