I was just wondering becasue every example in my book had oxygen in it, but it didn't say anything about it.
Terandary ionic compounds are chemical compounds that contain three different types of elements - a metal, a non-metal, and oxygen. They have a 3:1 ratio of metal to non-metal and are held together by electrostatic forces.
One example of a terandary ionic compound is sodium carbonate (Na2CO3), which contains the elements sodium (metal), carbon (non-metal), and oxygen. It is commonly used in the production of glass, soap, and paper.
Yes, all terandary ionic compounds have oxygen. The presence of oxygen is what distinguishes them from other types of ionic compounds, such as binary ionic compounds that only contain a metal and a non-metal.
Terandary ionic compounds are different from other types of compounds because they contain three elements, whereas binary compounds only have two. They also have a specific 3:1 ratio of metal to non-metal, and are held together by strong electrostatic forces rather than covalent bonds.
Terandary ionic compounds tend to have high melting and boiling points, are usually solid at room temperature, and are soluble in water. They also conduct electricity when dissolved in water or melted due to the presence of free ions.
