OpenStudy (studygurl14):

OpenStudy (perl):

its a compound (because of the hexa prefix) and two non mentals. and there are two of them

OpenStudy (studygurl14):

So..then D

OpenStudy (studygurl14):

???

OpenStudy (surry99):

As @perl said it is a compound so you need to focus on the difference between the terms binary and polyatomic

OpenStudy (perl):

it is a compound because the two elements are non metal . an ionic substance has a metal and a nonmetal

OpenStudy (studygurl14):

bi - two poly - many

OpenStudy (surry99):

look up binary compound vs polyatomic compound

OpenStudy (surry99):

ok...so the answer is...

OpenStudy (studygurl14):

C?

OpenStudy (surry99):

yes because it contains only two different elements..sulfur and fluorine

OpenStudy (studygurl14):

ok thanks

OpenStudy (surry99):

no problem and thanks @perl

OpenStudy (studygurl14):

yep same. thanks @perl

OpenStudy (perl):

Compounds containing two elements (so called binary compounds) can either have ionic or covalent bonding. If a compound is made from a metal and a non-metal, its bonding will be ionic. If a compound is made from two non-metals, its bonding will be covalent.
