Binary compounds consist of only two distinct elements, regardless of whether the compound is ionic or molecular. Water is a binary compound, as are calcium chloride, ammonia, and potassium iodide.
<span>An ionic binary compound consists of cations of one element and anions of another. KI is an ionic binary compound, composed of K cations and I anions. </span>
<span>A molecular binary compound does not consist of discrete ions, but of molecules. H2O is molecular, as is NH3.</span>
Because the oily part of its molecule tends to lay up against solid surfaces, but without much in the way of areas of electric charge that would cause it to stick more firmly to that surface.
The region where an electron is most likely to be is called an orbital
Answer is: tin and zinc, because they standard potential as less than zero.
Tin and zinc are oxidized to tin and zinc cations (with +2 charge) and hydrogen anions are reduced to hydrogen molecules with neutral charge.
Zn → Zn²⁺ + 2e⁻; 2H⁺ + 2e⁻ → H₂.
<span>Oxidation is increase
of oxidation number and reduction is decrease
of oxidation number.</span>
