Q

Ionic Compounds

A

Ionic compounds are compounds consisting of ions.

Two-element compounds are usually ionic when one element is a metal and the other is a non-metal.
- High melting point
- Crystalline solids
- Ionic bonds

Eg. Fe2S3
iron (lll) sulfide

18
Q

Molecular Compounds

A

Compounds that are composed of only non-metals or semi-metals with non-metals will display covalent bonding and will be classified as molecular compounds.
-Low Melting Points
-Tend to be gases or liquids
-Covalent bonds

Eg: dinitrogen trioxide
