Question

classify each chemical compound listed in the table below. compound type of compound (check all that apply) ionic molecular acid base nano₃ h₂so₃ h₂so₄ kcl

Explanation:

• For \(NaNO_3\):
• It is composed of \(Na^+\) (a metal cation) and \(NO_3^-\) (a polyatomic anion). Compounds formed from cations and anions are ionic compounds.
• For \(H_2SO_3\):
• According to the Arrhenius definition, acids are substances that produce \(H^+\) ions in aqueous solution. \(H_2SO_3\) can donate \(H^+\) ions (\(H_2SO_3

ightleftharpoons 2H^+ + SO_3^{2 -}\)), and it is a molecular compound (composed of non - metal atoms sharing electrons) and an acid.

• For \(H_2SO_4\):
• Similar to \(H_2SO_3\), \(H_2SO_4\) can donate \(H^+\) ions (\(H_2SO_4 = 2H^+ + SO_4^{2 -}\)). It is composed of non - metal atoms (\(H\), \(S\), \(O\)) sharing electrons (molecular compound) and is an acid.
• For \(KCl\):
• It is made up of \(K^+\) (a metal cation) and \(Cl^-\) (an anion). Compounds with cations and anions are ionic compounds.
