Answers
Answer:
Types of Compounds
- Ionic compounds
- Covalent or molecular compounds
Explanation:
Types of Compounds
Ionic compounds are compounds composed of ions, charged particles that form when an atom (or group of atoms, in the case of polyatomic ions) gains or loses electrons.
A cation is a positively charged ion
An anion is a negatively charged ion.
Covalent or molecular compounds form when elements share electrons in a covalent bond to form molecules. Molecular compounds are electrically neutral.
Ionic compounds are (usually) formed when a metal reacts with a nonmetal (or a polyatomic ion). Covalent compounds are formed when two nonmetals react with each other. Since hydrogen is a nonmetal, binary compounds containing hydrogen are also usually covalent compounds.
Metal + Nonmetal —> ionic compound (usually)
Metal + Polyatomic ion —> ionic compound (usually)
Nonmetal + Nonmetal —> covalent compound (usually)
Hydrogen + Nonmetal —> covalent compound (usually)
