How can you determine if the following compounds are molecular or ionic?

Question

A) B2H6
B) CH3OH
C) LiNO3
D) Sc2O3
E) CsBr
F) NOCl
G) NF3
H) Ag2SO4

Answer 1

.

Answer 2

A molecular compound contains only covalent bonds, whereas an ionic compound (also known as a salt) contains ionic bonds (although, it could also contain covalent bonds, if it contains a polyatomic ion.) Nonmetals bind covalently, and metals bind ionically, so in general you can determine whether a compound is ionic or molecular based on whether it contains metals or nonmetals. The exception is when a polyatomic ion is involved.

Answer 3

Molecular compounds do not contain a metal. If the compound start with a metal it is an ionic bond. If the compound starts with a nonmetal it is a molecular compound.
(The exception is if the compound starts with an ammonium ion - NH4 1+ - this would give an ionic compound.)

A) m
B) m
C) i
D) i
E) i
F) m
G) m
H) i

Answer 4

molecular compound usually contains a non - metal bonded to a non metal, however in general ionic compounds contain a metal (or metallic radical )bonded to a non metal.(oe non-mrtallic radical [ however, there's exception]

A) B2H6 = molecular
B) CH3OH = molecular
C) LiNO3 = ionic
D) Sc2O3 =ionic
E) CsBr = ionic
F) NOCl = molecular
G) NF3 = molecular
H) Ag2SO4 = ionic

Answer 5

do you mean ironic or covalent? Every compound has a molecular mass..

Answer 6

see just look at the valency of the central atoms,and the nature of groups viz electron withdrawing or electron donating.
