No. Binary molecular compounds are made out of two nonmetals covalently bonded. Examples include H2O, CO, CO2, H2S, NO2, SO2. Two cations would never form a compound because like charges repel.

What kind of elements make up molecular compounds?

Almost any element, including the heavier noble gases, can form a molecular compound (if chelated cations are considered molecular as most chemists would), but the vast majority of such compounds are composed of nonmetals.


Where on the periodic table will you find the two elements in a binary molecular compound?

The two elements in a binary molecular compound are typically found on the right side of the periodic table, in the nonmetal region. These elements share electrons to form covalent bonds in order to achieve a stable electron configuration.


Are molecular compounds made up of metals or nonmetals?

Molecular compounds are typically made up of nonmetals. Metals tend to form ionic compounds with nonmetals, whereas nonmetals tend to share electrons with other nonmetals, resulting in the formation of molecular compounds through covalent bonding.


What is the definition of binary molecular compound?

A binary molecular compound is a chemical compound composed of two different nonmetal elements bonded together. These compounds are formed through the sharing of electrons between the nonmetal atoms. An example of a binary molecular compound is carbon dioxide (CO2).


Which type of elements are molecular compounds composed of?

Molecular compounds are composed of all types of elements. I think the answer you're going for is what type of BONDS are molecular compounds composed of. In which case, the answer would be covalant, however this can vary between polar and nonpolar covalant, that's what a molecular compound is made of, otherwise it's an ionic compound.

Is PCl you binary molecular compound?

The compound PCl don't exist; all phosphorous chlorides are binary compounds.


Does binary molecular compounds contain carbon?

Binary molecular compounds can contain carbon, but not all of them do. Binary molecular compounds are made up of two nonmetal elements, so if carbon is bonded with another nonmetal element, it would form a binary molecular compound. Examples include carbon dioxide (CO2) and carbon monoxide (CO).


What are the components of binary molecular compound?

Binary molecular compounds consist of two different nonmetal elements bonded together. These compounds are formed through the sharing of electrons between the nonmetal atoms, resulting in a covalent bond. The chemical formula of binary molecular compounds typically reflects the number of atoms of each element in the compound.


What are binary molecular compounds made out of?

Everything you can touch is made up of molecules. From simple compounds like water (H2O) to giant molecules that make up biological tissue. Only the noble/Inert gases exist as monatomic atoms.


Are binary molecular compounds are made of two nonmetallic elements?

nonmetals. Examples include H2O, SO2, NH3.


What substances are binary compounds?

There are lots and lots of them! Anything that only contains two elements is called a binary compound.See the Web Links to the left for more information about them!

What is the difference between molecular compounds and molecular element?

Molecular compounds are made up of multiple different elements bonded together, while molecular elements are made up of the same type of element bonded together. Molecular compounds have multiple types of atoms, while molecular elements have only one type of atom.
