Question
review each of the chemical compounds and classify each one based on whether it contains an ionic or a covalent bond. covalent ionic cf4 ni3 k2o nh4br c5h10o5 ba(oh)2
Brief Explanations
- Covalent bonds: Formed between non - metals. In \(CF_4\), carbon (\(C\)) and fluorine (\(F\)) are non - metals. In \(NI_3\), nitrogen (\(N\)) and iodine (\(I\)) are non - metals. In \(C_5H_{10}O_5\), carbon (\(C\)), hydrogen (\(H\)), and oxygen (\(O\)) are non - metals.
- Ionic bonds: Formed between a metal and a non - metal (or a polyatomic ion which has ionic character). In \(K_2O\), potassium (\(K\)) is a metal and oxygen (\(O\)) is a non - metal. In \(NH_4Br\), the ammonium ion (\(NH_4^+\)) and bromide ion (\(Br^-\)) form an ionic bond. In \(Ba(OH)_2\), barium (\(Ba\)) is a metal and the hydroxide ion (\(OH^-\)) is a polyatomic ion.
