Examples of ionic and covalent compounds?

Ionic compounds: NaCl, KOH, CuSO4, etc. Any compound containing a metal and a non-metal. In ionic compounds, metals have positive ions (they lose electrons to the non metal) and non-metals have negative ions (as they gain electrons from the metal) Covalent compounds: CH4, BF3, NH3, all hydrocarbons/ all compounds containing only non-metals.


Compounds containing transition metals?

ZnSO4, FeCl2 etc


What compounds are formed with the element of chlorine?

chlorine forms ionic compounds with metals and covalent compounds with non-metals.


What element forms compounds with nonmetals?

Metals form compounds very easily with non-metals.


What is the oxidation number of non metals?

The oxidation number of non-metals can vary depending on the element and the compound it is in. Generally, non-metals tend to have negative oxidation numbers when they form compounds with metals, but they can also have positive oxidation numbers when they form compounds with other non-metals.


What is made when you add metals and non metals?

Metals and nonmetals form ionic compounds.


What is binary compounds containing two non metals?

Binary compounds containing two nonmetals are typically covalent compounds where the atoms share electrons to achieve a stable electron configuration. These compounds tend to have lower melting and boiling points compared to ionic compounds. Examples include water (H2O), carbon dioxide (CO2), and ammonia (NH3).


Are covalent bonds more likely to be found containing both metal and non metals or compounds containing only non metals?

Covalent bonds are more likely to be found in compounds containing only nonmetals. This is because covalent bonds involve the sharing of electrons between two nonmetal atoms, which allows for the formation of stable molecules. In contrast, metal atoms tend to form ionic bonds with nonmetal atoms due to their tendency to lose electrons.


Are ionic compounds make of nonmetallic elements?

Generally ioic compounds contain metals and non metals. However the compound NH4Cl is ionic, and contains NH4+ and Cl- ,and all of the elements are non-metals.


Are molecular compounds usually non-metals?

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


What is the category of compounds containing carbon?

Carbon is a non-metal


Are covalent bonds more likely to be found in compounds containing both metals and nonmetals or compounds containing only nonmetals?

Covalent bonds are more likely to be found in compounds containing only nonmetals. Metals typically form ionic bonds with nonmetals due to the large difference in electronegativity, while nonmetals tend to share electrons in covalent bonds to achieve stability.
