No. Monatomic means there is only a single atom, this cannot be covalently bonded as this implies there are two or more atoms. Yes they have either gained or lost electrons.

An ionic compound is a compound that consist of molecules made of atoms that are covalently bonded?

The given statement is not either true or false consistently. An ionic compound can contain atoms that are covalently bonded, as in sulfate and nitrate salts, but it need not contain any such covalently bonded atoms.


Substances that are chemically bound together are?

Some substances that are covalently bonded are any alkanes, alkenes, and alkynes. Water is another substance that is covalently bonded, as is sugar. Carbon compounds generally contain covalent bonds.


What is a combination of atoms that are bonded together either by sharing or transferring electrons?

compound


What interacts when atoms bonded in compounds?

Bonding is either donating/accepting or sharing electrons.


Is ammonia an ionic or molecular compound?

Ammonia is a molecular compound. The hydrogen atoms share electrons with the nitrogen atom.


Is chloride opaque?

Chloride of what? The word chloride can refer to a chemical compound in which one or more chlorine atoms are covalently bonded in the molecule. This means that chlorides can be either inorganic or organic compounds. The simplest example of an inorganic covalently-bonded chloride is hydrogen chloride, HCl (a colorless acid). A simple example of an organic covalently-bonded (an organochloride) chloride is chloromethane (CH3Cl), often called methyl chloride (a colorless gas). Sodium Chloride is (as a monocrystalline solid) colorless but as a powder, opaque.


How are electrons used in atoms?

They allow the atom to form a bond with another atom(s) either covalently or ionicly. This can be achieved by sharing (covalent bond) or giving/loosing (ionic bond) electrons.


Is brcl ionic or molecular?

What is 'brcl'???? If you mean 'BrCl'. then it is a COVALENTLY Bonded molecule. NB You misunderstand between ionic and molecule. All chemicals are MOLECULES. However, the bonding within given chemicals can be either IONIC or COVALENT. An ionically bonded molecule is common table salt , sodium chloride (NaCl). It is formed by the ions Na^(+) and Cl^(-) bonding under electrostatic attraction.(like the N & S poles of a magnet). A covalently bonded molecule is water (H2O). It is formed by the oxygen atom sharing its electrons with hydrogen atoms ; (like linking arms).


Is P2H4 ionic or covalent?

P2H4 is a covalent compound. It is made up of nonmetals (phosphorus and hydrogen) which typically form covalent bonds by sharing electrons.


Atoms can achieve a full octet of electrons by doing what?

By bonding with another atom, either ionically (donates/receives electrons) or covalently (electron sharing).


Why is calcium oxide an ionic bond?

Calcium hydroxide has groups of covalently bonded atoms that have either lost or gained electrons. It is an ion made up of two or more atoms that are covalently bonded and that act like a single ion. ~Ayanna~ Your answer doesn't answer the question. ****************** This answer will: The covalent part is between the O-H of the hydroxide. In this instance, O and H always bond covalently. Calcium's bond with the OH, which is a separate subject, is ionic, as in Ca ++ : (OH -) x 2 Almost all compounds involving metals are ionic, so this is typical. That should clear it up


Do any compounds exist only as an atom?

No, a single atom would have to belong to a particular element. A compound must contain two or more different types of atom that are chemically bonded (either covalently or ionically) together.
