Question

classify each chemical compound listed in the table below. compound type of compound (check all that apply) ionic molecular acid base hbro4 h2so3 h2so4 mg(bro4)2

Explanation:

• For \(HBrO_4\): It is an acid. Acids are substances that can donate \(H^+\) ions. \(HBrO_4\) (perbromic acid) donates \(H^+\) in solution. It is also a molecular compound as it is composed of non - metal atoms (H, Br, O) held together by covalent bonds.
• For \(H_2SO_3\): It is an acid. \(H_2SO_3\) (sulfurous acid) donates \(H^+\) ions. It is a molecular compound since it is made up of non - metal atoms (H, S, O) with covalent bonding.
• For \(H_2SO_4\): It is an acid. \(H_2SO_4\) (sulfuric acid) donates \(H^+\) ions. It is a molecular compound as it consists of non - metal atoms (H, S, O) connected by covalent bonds.
• For \(Mg(BrO_4)_2\): It is an ionic compound. It is composed of \(Mg^{2 + }\) (a metal cation) and \(BrO_4^-\) (a polyatomic anion). Ionic compounds are formed from the electrostatic attraction between cations and anions.
