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 made up of ions
 IONIC & MOLECULAR
2. STATE WHETHER EACH OF THE FOLLOWING ARE IONIC OR MOLECULAR COMPOUNDS:
a) CO2 a) Molecular
b) NaF b) Ionic
c) Molecular

d) N2Cl9 e) Ionic
e) MgCl2 f) Ionic
f) NaOH
3. WHAT ARE POLYATOMIC IONS?

•NONMETAL ATOMS THAT HAVE COMBINED TOGETHER IN AN

ATTEMPT TO BE STABLE; THEY ARE NOT STABLE ENOUGH SO THEY
END UP WITH AN OVERALL CHARGE
