what is ionic and molecular compound
Answers
Molecular compounds or covalent compounds are those in which the elements share electrons via covalent bonds. The only type of molecular compound a chemistry student is expected to be able to name is a binary covalent compound. This is a covalent compound made up of only two different elements.
Examples for covalent compounds: SO2 - sulfur dioxide,SF6 - sulfur hexafluoride,CCl4 - carbon tetrachloride,NI3 - nitrogen triodide
An ionic compound is a chemical compound in which ions are held together in a structure by electrostatic forces termed ionic bonds. The positively charged ions are called cations and the negatively charged ions are called anions. These can be simple ions such as the sodium (Na+) and chloride (Cl−) in sodium chloride, or complex polyatomic species such as the carbonate (CO32−) in calcium carbonate.
Question :
What is ionic and Molecular compounds?
Answer :
Compounds that are composed of positively charged ions and negatively charged ions is known as ionic compound.
Compounds that have a pure substance which is formed from covalent bond between non metals is called molecular compound.
