What type of compound is CaSO4. is it Monatomic ionic or polyatomic ionic or binary molecular or polyatomic covalent?
Polyatomic ionic.
What is a non-binary compound?
Non-binary or polyatomic compounds are covalently bonded atoms with a net charge.
Do polyatomic anions always end in -ide?
They are a binary Compound (Only two Elements)
Is KOH a binary ionic or an ionic with a polyatomic ion?
Ionic with a polyatomic ion.
An ionic compound is made of a nonmetal and a metal true or false?
It is true of binary ionic compounds but not necessarily of compounds containing polyatomic ions.

How does an binary compound different from an polyatomic ion?
A binary compound is a chemical compound made up solely of 2 elements, for example P2O5, Na2O KCl. (The bonding is not relevant- it could be covalent or ionic.)A polyatomic ion is a cation or anion that contains more than one atom. Most contain 2 different elements. For examplepolyatomic anions:- [SO4]2-, [NO3]-polyatomic cation:-[ NH4]+ , [Hg2]2+
Is KOH a binary ionic or an ionic with a polyatomic ion?
Ionic with a polyatomic ion.
An ionic compound is made of a nonmetal and a metal true or false?
It is true of binary ionic compounds but not necessarily of compounds containing polyatomic ions.
What is the difference between a binary ionic compound and a teranry ionic compound?
No. Not all binary compounds are ionic and not all ionic compounds are binary. An ionic compound is a compound formed by the exchange rather than the sharing of electrons. A binary compound is any compound of exactly 2 elements. Examples: Sodium chloride (NaCl, compound sodium and chlorine) is both binary and ionic. Potassium hydroxide (KOH, compound of potassium, hydrogen, and oxygen) is ionic but not binary. Water (H2O, compound of hydrogen and oxygen) is binary, but covalent, not ionic.
What is the difference between type one binary compound and type two binary compound?
Type one binary compounds have a cation (+ charge) that has only 1 possible oxidation state, for example sodium (Na^1+). In type 2 binary compounds, the cation can have more than one oxidation state, for example iron which can be 2+ or 3+.
Is febr3 binary ionic or ionic with polyatomic ion?
Iron (III) bromine, or FeBr3 is a binary ionic compound. Its ions are the metal Fe and the non-metal Br (the number of bromines per molecule doesn't influence the answer). A polyatomic ion is one which has one or more atoms of two or more elements, such as carbonate (CO3), hydroxide (OH), or nitrite (NO2), just to name a few.
Is sodium hydroxide binary or polyatomic?
Sodium hydroxide (NaOH) is polyatomic (contain atoms of Na, O and H).
What compound is formed when beryllium and sodium are combined?
No binary compound between beryllium and sodium.
What is the difference between sodium sulfide and sodium fluoride?
Sodium sulfide has the formula Na2S it is the binary compound of the elements sodium and sulfur. It is very basic (alkaline). Sodium fluoride has the formula NaF. It is the binary compound of the elements sodium and fluorine. It is only mildly basic.
