molecular compounds only contain nonmetals

Ionic compounds contain a metal and a nonmetal.

H2O - molecular
NaCl in H2O - the salt is ionic and the water is molecular (Its a mixture not a compound)
C6H12O6 - molecular (many types of sugar, but all molecular)
CaCl2 - ionic
NaHCO3 - ionic

the easy way to figure out whether it is an ionic compound or a molecular compound, look at the equation.
if the compound is made of a metal and a nonmetal, like Na and Cl (↑table salt) then it is an ionic compound.
if it's made of bunch of nonmetals, then it is a molecular compound.

distilled water is a molecular compound

salt water = ionic

sugar = molecular (hydrogen is non metal)

calcium chloride = ionic

baking soda = ionic

Distilled water is molecular, because it is only 10^-7M ionized into H+ + OH-

Salt water is a solution of the ionic compound NaCl

Sugar is molecular.

CaCl2 is ionic

NaHCO3 is ionic, Na+ + HCO3-, although the atoms of HCO3- are covalently bonded together.

Ammonium has 4 H's and one N,. it has an excellent fee of one. Ammonia has 3 H's and one N without fee. it easily relies upon on the chemical surroundings they're in as to what the accurate result's. i'd bypass with ammonia: NH3, it has a impartial fee so at that aspect of problem it truly is likely what the instructor is searching for.
