Question

review each of the chemical compounds and classify each one based on whether it contains an ionic or a covalent bond

Explanation:

Step1: Understand Covalent and Ionic Bonds

Covalent bonds form between non - metals that share electrons. Ionic bonds form between a metal and a non - metal (or a polyatomic ion) through electron transfer.

Step2: Analyze Each Compound

• \(CF_{4}\): Carbon (\(C\)) and fluorine (\(F\)) are non - metals. They share electrons, so it has covalent bonds.
• \(NI_{3}\): Nitrogen (\(N\)) and iodine (\(I\)) are non - metals. They share electrons, so it has covalent bonds.
• \(C_{5}H_{10}O_{5}\): Carbon (\(C\)), hydrogen (\(H\)), and oxygen (\(O\)) are non - metals. They share electrons, so it has covalent bonds.
• \(K_{2}O\): Potassium (\(K\)) is a metal and oxygen (\(O\)) is a non - metal. Electrons are transferred from \(K\) to \(O\), so it has ionic bonds.
• \(NH_{4}Br\): The ammonium ion (\(NH_{4}^{+}\)) and bromide ion (\(Br^{-}\)) are held together by ionic bonds (electrostatic attraction between ions).
• \(Ba(OH)_{2}\): Barium (\(Ba\)) is a metal. The barium ion (\(Ba^{2 +}\)) and hydroxide ion (\(OH^{-}\)) are held together by ionic bonds.

Answer:

Covalent	Ionic
