What would be the formula and name of the ionic compound formed when potassium reacts with phosphorus?
K3P, potassium phosphide
What would be the formula of the compound formed between fluorine and silicon?
siF4
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.
What would nitrogen and oxygen added together create?
Nitrice Oxide, an ionic compound, often used in medicine and commonly known as, "laughing gas". (An Ionic compound id a compound formed between two ions of opposite charge.)
What is the chemical formula for the compound formed between sodium and selenium?
The formula would be K2Se
How would you determine the difference between an ionic and covalent compound from its chemical formula?
it depends if the formula. it is ionic if the bonds are formed between nonmetal and metals.
What would be the formula and name of the ionic compound formed when potassium reacts with phosphorus?
K3P, potassium phosphide
What would be the formula and name of the ionic compound formed when sodium reacts with phosphorus?
Na3P sodium phosphide
What is the ionic compound formula when Ba and N is formed?
Ba 2+ and N 3- would form Ba3 N2
What is the formula for the ionic compound for Sr and Te?
If strontium and tellurium form an ionic compound it would be SrTe.
What is the formula for the ionic compound for Cs and I?
The formula for cesium and iodine would be CsI.
The smallest particle of a compound formed when atoms combine?
If it's a molecular compound, the smallest amount would be one molecule. If it's an ionic compound, the smallest amount is a formula unit.
If sodium and chlorine bonded together what would be the chemical formula of the new compound it is a ionic or covalent bonding?
The new compound is called "sodium chloride", has the formula NaCl, and has ionic bonds.
Is sodium and sulfur ionic or covalent?
Sodium and sulfur together in a compound represents a ionic bonds, because sodium is a metal and sulfur is a non-metal. The chemical formula for this compound would Na2S, and its name would be sodium sulfide.
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.
How do you write the chemical formula of an ionic compound?
Well for sodium chloride, it would be NaCl
Would ionic or covalent molecules use the molecular formula or empirical formula?
What you write for an ionic compound is called the formula unit, but the formula unit is almost always the same as the empirical formula. The answer to your question could not be the molecular formula because an ionic compound is not a molecule.
