Ionic Compounds are formed when two elements from the periodic table combine or are held together due to their large differences to attract electrons from another atom. Metals, typically found on the left side o
What is a covalent compound? See covalent bond examples, learn about the properties of covalent compounds and understand how covalent compounds are...
Formation of Ionic Compounds What is an ionic compound? Since opposite charges attract each other, anions and cations being negatively and positively charged respectively, readily come together to form ionic compounds.Figure 3: Ionic compounds are formed when anions and cations come together and estab...
Coordinate Compounds: A complex compound that has a central metal atom or ion that has a fixed number of atoms or molecules bound to it is known as a coordination compound. The group of atoms that surrounds the central metal atom and are joined by chemical bonds are known as ligands. These...
between anion and cation forms an ionic compound. Many of the ionic compounds are referred to as salts since they can be formed by theneutralization reactionbetween a base (e.g. OH-) and an acid (H+).The bond that forms between the atoms does not result in the formation of a salt. ...
Photo by: AcikCeramics can be defined as heat-resistant, nonmetallic, inorganic solids that are (generally) made up of compounds formed from metallic and nonmetallic elements. Although different types of ceramics can have very different properties, in general ceramics are corrosion-resistant and hard...

Ions are formed when atoms gain or lose electrons or combinations of elements bonding sharing electrons result in the unit having an electric charge. Let's practice forming some ionic compound formulas. Practice Equations: All of the below ions will form ionic compounds. Use their charges (...
Due to the presence of a negative charge in hydroxide ions, they are often foundbonded to positively chargedions. Such compounds formed due to bonding between hydroxide and a positive ion are known asionic compounds. These compounds may besoluble or insolublein water. For example, ionic compounds...
Examples of polarmoleculesinclude: Water - H2O Ammonia - NH3 Sulfur dioxide - SO2 Hydrogen sulfide - H2S Ethanol- C2H6O Note ionic compounds, such as sodium chloride (NaCl), are polar. However, most of the time when people talk about "polar molecules," they mean "polar covalent molecules"...
