What else can I help you with?
Why is it that only molecular compounds can have a molecular formula?
Because there are no compounds that aren't molecules/molecular. The question as posed is nonsense. Rephrase?
Are molecular compounds formed from semimetals?
Yes, molecular compounds can be formed from semimetals. These compounds result from the bonding of semimetal atoms to form molecules, often through sharing electrons in covalent bonds. Examples of molecular compounds with semimetals include carbon monoxide (CO) and boron trifluoride (BF3).
How do you differentiate simple molecular compounds and giant molecular compounds?
Simple molecular compounds have discrete molecules held together by weak intermolecular forces, while giant molecular compounds have repeating units bonded together by strong covalent bonds. Simple molecular compounds typically have low melting and boiling points and are often gases or liquids at room temperature, while giant molecular compounds tend to have high melting and boiling points and are usually solids at room temperature.
Are molecular compounds reactive?
yes
What are the 7 types of compounds?
Ionic compounds Covalent compounds Metallic compounds Molecular compounds Acidic compounds Basic compounds Organic compounds
How are the melting points and the boiling points of molecular compounds different from ionic compounds?
Ionic bonds are significantly resistant to heat, while molecular bonds are broken more easily with the addition of heat energy. Due to this, ionic compounds have much higher boiling points than molecular substances in most cases.
What is the relationship between prefixes and molecular compounds?
the relationship between prefixes and molecular compounds is that, prefix are used to name molecular compounds.
How do molecular compounds bond?
When molecular compounds bond, they share electrons.

How are the properties of molecular compounds different from those of ionic cmpounds?
Molecular (covalent) compounds are not dissociated in water.
How are atom arranged in molecular compounds?
Atoms are arranged in molecular compounds in groups.
How do ionic and molecular compounds differ in physical properties?
Ionic compounds have higher melting and boiling points than molecular compounds due to the strong electrostatic forces between ions. Ionic compounds are usually solid at room temperature, while molecular compounds can be solid, liquid, or gas. Ionic compounds conduct electricity when dissolved in water, while molecular compounds do not.
Are molecular compounds made up of metals or nonmetals?
Molecular compounds are typically made up of nonmetals. Metals tend to form ionic compounds with nonmetals, whereas nonmetals tend to share electrons with other nonmetals, resulting in the formation of molecular compounds through covalent bonding.
How do you differentiate simple molecular compounds and giant molecular compounds?
Simple molecular compounds have discrete molecules held together by weak intermolecular forces, while giant molecular compounds have repeating units bonded together by strong covalent bonds. Simple molecular compounds typically have low melting and boiling points and are often gases or liquids at room temperature, while giant molecular compounds tend to have high melting and boiling points and are usually solids at room temperature.
Are carbohydrates molecular compounds?
no
Are molecular compounds usually non-metals?
Yes, most molecular compounds do not contain metals. (The term "nonmetal" properly applies only to elements, not compounds.)
