- For each row in the table below, decide whether the pair of elements will form a molecular compound held together by covalent chemical bonds. If the elements will form a molecular compound, check the box and enter the chemical formula and name of the compound. (If the elements will form more than one molecular compound, use the compound with the fewest total number of atoms.) You may assume all chemical bonds are single bonds, not double or triple bonds. element pair will form a molecular compound element #1 element #2 molecular chemical name compound formula X sodium oxygen 0 ☐ ☐ hydrogen fluorine 0 ☐ carbon iodine 0 ☐ ☐arrow_forward. Classify each substance as being either ionic, molecular (i.e. all covalent bonds in thecompound) or both (some ionic bonds and some covalent bonds in the compound). If youclassify a substance as having both ionic and molecular components, draw a Lewis DotStructure for the compound and clearly indicate which part of the compound is ionic in natureand which part is molecular (covalent).KClO Li2SO3 NH3 Cl2 KFNaSO4 HCl (gas) CCl4 SrCl2 CO2arrow_forwardCan you help me on this quesarrow_forward

Since you made the discovery, you get to choose the names for these new polyatomic ions. In developing the names, you want to pay attention to convention. A colleague in your lab has come up with a name that she really likes for one of the ions. How would you name the following in a way consistent with her name?

- Ions that form from one atom on the Periodic Table are call monatomic ions. However not all ionic bonds are formed with monatomic ions, polyatomic ions can form ionic bonds as well. The prefix poly- means many and atomic refers to atoms, so a polyatomic ion is an ion that contains more than one atom. This differentiates polyatomic ions from monatomic ions, which contain only one atom. Examples of monatomic ions include Na+, Fe3+, Cl-, and many, many others. We can think about polyatomic ions by comparing them to monatomic ions. A monatomic ion is an atom that has been ionized by gaining or losing electrons. The ion has a net charge because the total number of electrons is not balanced by the total number of protons in the nucleus. Thus, compared to the neutral atom, we have extra electrons—in the case of a negatively charged anion—or not enough electrons—in the case of a positively charged cation. For example, a neutral chlorine atom has an atomic number of 17, which means it has 17…arrow_forwardDiscuss the formation of ionic and molecular compounds: Explain the types of bonds and ions involved where applicable.
