【questions】ionic & covalent compound

Hello, i have some questions about ionic & covalent compound, please help

1. is molecule include ionic compound or only covalent compound?

2. will boiling broke the ionic / covalent bond?

3. suppose there are 3 atoms,1 sodium and 2 oxygen, then the oxygen will form compound with sodium or another oxygen?

This is likely homework, and I don't like answering homework that's not in the homework section, but...

1. Molecular compounds are almost never ionic.

2. Ionic is a solid up to 1000 K.

3. Na-O-O... Sodium Superoxide
 

1. What is the difference between an ionic and covalent compound?

An ionic compound is made up of positively and negatively charged ions that are held together by electrostatic forces. In contrast, a covalent compound is made up of molecules that share electrons between atoms.

2. How are ionic and covalent compounds named?

Ionic compounds are named by writing the cation (positive ion) first, followed by the anion (negative ion), and changing the ending of the anion to -ide. Covalent compounds are named by using prefixes to indicate the number of each element present in the molecule.

3. What properties distinguish ionic and covalent compounds?

Ionic compounds tend to have high melting and boiling points, are soluble in water, and conduct electricity when dissolved in water. Covalent compounds, on the other hand, have lower melting and boiling points, are generally not soluble in water, and do not conduct electricity.

4. Can ionic and covalent compounds form mixtures?

Yes, ionic and covalent compounds can form mixtures, but they do not form compounds. For example, a mixture of salt (an ionic compound) and sugar (a covalent compound) is possible, but they will not chemically react to form a new substance.

5. How are the physical and chemical properties of ionic and covalent compounds related to their bonding?

The type of bonding in a compound is directly related to its physical and chemical properties. Ionic compounds have strong electrostatic forces between ions, resulting in high melting points and solubility in water. Covalent compounds have weaker intermolecular forces, resulting in lower melting points and insolubility in water.
