Question

PLEASEEE HELP!!!!
i really need help what is the difference between IONIC compounds and BINARY ionic compounds??????????

Answer 1

binary compound is a compound composed of two elements. the prefix \(\sf \color{red}{bi}\) = 2. For instance H\(_2\)O - water is a binary compound. While ionic compound is formed by ions bonding together. For instance, NaCl - salt is an ionic compound: Na\(^+\) and Cl\(^-\)

Answer 2

ok thank you but what is a binary ionic compound?

Answer 3

the cation is usually a metal. same thing as ionic.

Answer 4

Molecular compounds contain only non-metals (carbon, hydrogen, phosphorus), while ionic compounds contain at least one metal (zinc, manganese, iron) and at least one non-metal.

Answer 5

Ionic compounds are between metals and non-metals.

Molecular compounds are between only non-metals.

(Metallic compounds are between metals and other metals)


An ionic compound is a pure substance that is formed from a metal and a nonmetal. It has a fairly high melting point and is a conductor of electricity when in a molten or aqueous state .


A molecular compound, on the other hand, is a pure substance that is formed from nonmetals. It has a fairly low melting point, and cannot conduct electricity regardless of state.
Another important difference between the two is that an ionic compound is a crystalline solid at standard temperature and pressure (STP), whereas a molecular compound can be in a solid, gas or liquid state at STP.
Good luck.
