Question

Which formulas represent one iconic compound and one molecular compound

Answer 1

An ionic compound is any compound containing a metal and a nonmetal

For example: NaCl, MgO, etc

Sometimes they’ll include polyatomic ions, such as CN (cyanide), ClO3 (chlorate), and many others

For example: NaCN, LiClO3, etc


A covalent or molecular compound usually contains shared pairs of electrons

Some examples are H2O, CO2, CHCl3

Notice, that these are all composed of non-metals.


Hope this helps. It’s hard to answer specifically when I can’t see the options.

If this helps, give me a brainliest, so I know I was helpful.
