Concept explainers
Interpretation:
Each of the given compounds is to be classified as ionic or molecular. Whether the metal forms one type of ion or more than one type of ion is to be determined in case of an ionic compound.
Concept Introduction:
The ionic compound consists of the metal and non-metal. Metal donate their electrons to the non-metal and become cationic, and non-metal accept the electron from the metal and become anionic. Ionic compound forms the ionic bond between the metal and non-metal. It is separatedtheir charges on dissociation.
The molecular compound consists only non-metals. There is no separation of charges in a molecular compound on dissociations. Molecular compounds form a covalent bond between two non-metals.
