How to identify covalent and ionic compounds?
- Ionic compounds are (usually) formed when a metal reacts with nonmetal (or a polyatomic ion).
- Covalent compounds are formed when two nonmetals react with each other
11 dinitrogen trioxide - N2O3 - covalent , both oxygen and nitrogen are nonmetals.
13 barium phosphate - Ba₃ (PO4)₂ - ionic , bond is created by giving or taking electrons.
14 lithium acetate - Li⁺ CH3COO⁻ - ionic
15 phosphorus trifluoride - PF₃ - covalent, formed by the sharing of electrons between phosphorus and fluorine atoms.
16 vanadium (V) oxide - V2O5 - ionic
17 aluminum hydroxide - Al(OH)3 - covalent, according to fajan rule
18 zinc sulfide - ZnS - ionic , its composed of Zn²⁺ and S²⁻ ions
19 silicon tetrafluoride - SiF4 - covalent, their bonds are arranged in tetrahedral shape
20 nickel(11) phosphate - Ni₃(PO4)₂ - ionic, as nickel is metal and phosphate is polyatomic ion
