Question
Label the following compounds as ionic or molecular and name them appropriately. 1) Cr(BrO3)3 2) Cu2CO3 3) IBr 4) V2O5 5) Ag2CO3
Expert Solution
Step 1

In this answer, I have identified whether each of the given compounds is ionic or molecular, and provided the appropriate names for each compound. The classification of a compound as ionic or molecular is based on the types of elements present in the compound, and how those elements are bonded together. In general, ionic compounds are formed when a metal ion and a nonmetal ion combine to form an ionic bond, while molecular compounds are formed when two or more nonmetal atoms share electrons to form a covalent bond. The naming of each compound follows a set of rules based on the type of compound and the valence of each element involved.
