what characteristic in the name of some compounds is good indicator of hte glass to which it belonds?pleaseHLP

Answer 1

OK, first we have to figure out the question. I take this as "what characteristic of the name of some compounds is a good indicator or what class it belongs to" One answer is that if you have a compound composed of a metal and a non-metal such as NaCl, it is an ionic compound. If you have a compound composed of two non-metals such as CO2, it is covalent. The ammonium ion (NH4+) has the same characteristics here as a metal.
