Question

classify each chemical compound listed in the table below. compound type of compound (check all that apply) ionic molecular acid base hno₃ ba(oh)₂ nano₃ h₂so₃

Explanation:

• For \(HNO_3\):
• It is a molecular compound as it is composed of non - metal atoms (H, N, O) held together by covalent bonds.
• It is an acid as it can donate \(H^+\) ions in an aqueous solution (\(HNO_3

ightarrow H^++NO_3^-\)).

• For \(Ba(OH)_2\):
• It is an ionic compound as it is composed of \(Ba^{2 + }\) (a metal ion) and \(OH^-\) (a polyatomic ion) held together by ionic bonds.
• It is a base as it can donate \(OH^-\) ions in an aqueous solution (\(Ba(OH)_2

ightarrow Ba^{2+}+2OH^-\)).

• For \(NaNO_3\):
• It is an ionic compound as it is composed of \(Na^+\) (a metal ion) and \(NO_3^-\) (a polyatomic ion) held together by ionic bonds.
• For \(H_2SO_3\):
• It is a molecular compound as it is composed of non - metal atoms (H, S, O) held together by covalent bonds.
• It is an acid as it can donate \(H^+\) ions in an aqueous solution (\(H_2SO_3

ightarrow 2H^++SO_3^{2 - }\)).

Answer:

compound	ionic	molecular	acid	base
\(Ba(OH)_2\)	\(\square\)			\(\square\)
\(NaNO_3\)	\(\square\)
\(H_2SO_3\)		\(\square\)	\(\square\)
