IONIC & MOLECULAR

1. HOW DO YOU KNOW IF A COMPOUND IS AN IONIC

COMPOUND OR A MOLECULAR COMPOUND BY LOOKING AT
ITS CHEMICAL FORMULA?
Molecular only made up of non-metals; binary ionic
made up metal & non-metal
 IONIC & MOLECULAR
2. STATE WHETHER EACH OF THE FOLLOWING ARE IONIC OR MOLECULAR COMPOUNDS:
a) N3F9 a) Molecular
b) NaCl b) Ionic
c) Molecular
c) CO d) Molecular
d) NO e) Ionic
e) CaBr2
3. HOW AND WHY DO IONS FORM?

• ATOMS BECOME IONS IN AN ATTEMPT TO BE STABLE (LIKE THE NOBLE GASES).

• IONS FORM WHEN ATOMS GAIN OR LOSE ELECTRONS.
