Question

predict whether each of the following compounds is molecular or ionic. drag the items into the appropriate bins. reset help mgcro4 n4o onf3 ti2s3 b2h6 ch3oh ag2so4 bao molecular ionic

Explanation:

Step1: Recall ionic compound rule

Ionic compounds usually form between metals and non - metals.

Step2: Analyze each compound

• $\text{MgCrO}_4$: Magnesium (a metal) with chromate, ionic.
• $\text{N}_4\text{O}$: Non - metals only, molecular.
• $\text{ONF}_3$: Non - metals only, molecular.
• $\text{Ti}_2\text{S}_3$: Titanium (a metal) with sulfur, ionic.
• $\text{B}_2\text{H}_6$: Non - metals only, molecular.
• $\text{CH}_3\text{OH}$: Non - metals only, molecular.
• $\text{Ag}_2\text{SO}_4$: Silver (a metal) with sulfate, ionic.
• $\text{BaO}$: Barium (a metal) with oxygen, ionic.

Answer:

Molecular: $\text{N}_4\text{O}$, $\text{ONF}_3$, $\text{B}_2\text{H}_6$, $\text{CH}_3\text{OH}$
Ionic: $\text{MgCrO}_4$, $\text{Ti}_2\text{S}_3$, $\text{Ag}_2\text{SO}_4$, $\text{BaO}$
