An ionic compound that forms when a metal atom or a positive radical replaces the hydrogen of an acid?

The resulting compound is called a salt. It is formed through the reaction between a metal atom or positive radical with an acid, where the metal or positive radical replaces the hydrogen in the acid molecule. This reaction results in the formation of an ionic compound with a positive metal or radical ion and a negative ion derived from the acid.

Define organometallic compound?

An organometallic compound is a compound containing at least one bond between a carbon atom of an organic molecule and a metal atom. These compounds often exhibit unique reactivity due to the interaction between the organic and metal components. Organometallic compounds have applications in catalysis, material science, and organic synthesis.
