Is barium hydroxide an ionic or molecular compound?

Barium hydroxide is an ionic compound because it is composed of a metal (barium) and a non-metal (hydroxide ion). Ionic compounds are formed by the transfer of electrons from the metal to the non-metal.


Is barium hydroxide a cation or an anion?

Barium hydroxide is not a cation or an anion. It is a compound. It is made of barium ions and hydroxide ions.


Is barium hydroxide a covalent compound?

No, barium hydroxide is an ionic compound, not a covalent compound. It is composed of barium cations and hydroxide anions, which are held together by ionic bonds formed through the transfer of electrons.


Is BaOH2 ionic or molecular?

First of all to correct your formula mistake. It is Ba(OH)2, which is barium hydroxide. There is no such molecule as BaOH2. This incorrectly shows one barium , ONE oxygen and two hydrogens. The correct formula , with brackets, indicates that there are two oxygens and two hydrogens. Secondly. Barium hydroxide Ba(OH)2 bonds ionically between the barium cation (Ba^(2+)) and the two hydroxide anions ( (OH)^(-)). However, within the hydroxide anion, the oxygen and the hydrogen bond covalently. as ' O-H^(-) ', with a 'spare' electron for ionic bonding. Thirdly to correct your 'ionic/molecular'. ALL molecules can be bonded by either Covalent bond or Ionic Bonding. So Barium hydroxide (Ba(OH)2) is normally deemed to be an Ionic Molecule. NB By comparison, Water (H2O) and Carbon Dioxide (CO2) are covalently bonded molecules. NNB The word ' molecule' is a collective noun for all polyatomic substances irrespective of there type of bonding. NNNB Bonding is in the form of IONIC , COVALENT, and not discussed here, METALLIC'. So please do not refer refer to 'ionic/molecular'. It is ionic or covalent.

Is barium and carbon a molecular compound?

No, barium and carbon do not form a molecular compound on their own because they do not typically share electrons to form a covalent bond. Barium and carbon can form an ionic compound called barium carbide, where barium donates electrons to carbon to form a lattice structure.
