There are certainly many combinations of metals and non-metals, but other types of binary molecules are also quite common, such as the binary oxygen molecule or the binary nitrogen molecule, in which you have two non-metals combined with eachother.

Is H2SO3 ionic or molecular?

H2SO3 is a molecular compound because it is composed of covalent bonds between nonmetal atoms. Ionic compounds typically form between a metal and a nonmetal, where electrons are transferred to form ions, but in the case of H2SO3, it involves sharing of electrons between nonmetal atoms.


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.


Is P4S7 and ionic of molecular compound?

P4S7 is a molecular compound because it is composed of nonmetal elements (phosphorus and sulfur) that share electrons to form covalent bonds. Ionic compounds typically involve the transfer of electrons between a metal and a nonmetal.


What are some properties that would help distinguish a ionic compound from a molecular compound?

Ionic compounds typically have higher melting and boiling points compared to molecular compounds, due to the strong electrostatic forces between ions in the crystal lattice. Ionic compounds also tend to conduct electricity when dissolved in water or in molten state, while molecular compounds do not conduct electricity in either state. Additionally, ionic compounds are often composed of a metal and a nonmetal, whereas molecular compounds are composed of nonmetals.


Are binary molecular compounds made out of two cations?

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.


Are molecular compounds usually non-metals?

Yes, most molecular compounds do not contain metals. (The term "nonmetal" properly applies only to elements, not compounds.)


Ionic compounds are composed of?

a metal cation and a nonmetal anion


What is a binary molecular compound PCl5 MgS Agl or BeHCO3?

A binary molecular compound is a chemical compound composed of two different nonmetal elements. Out of the options provided, PCl5 and AgI are binary molecular compounds because they consist of two different nonmetal elements (i.e., phosphorus and chlorine for PCl5 and silver and iodine for AgI). MgS and BeHCO3 are not binary molecular compounds as they contain a metal element (magnesium and beryllium) combined with nonmetal elements (sulfur and hydrogen, carbon, oxygen) respectively.


Is CO2 a metal oxide or nonmetal oxide?

Carbon is a nonmetal. Thus this is a nonmetal oxide.


Molecular compounds are usually .?

composed of two or more nonmetallic elements.


Is chlorine fluoride a ionic or molecular?

Chlorine fluoride is a molecular compound. It consists of covalent bonds between the chlorine and fluorine atoms, rather than ionic bonds typically found in compounds composed of a metal and a nonmetal.


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.
