Is c2h6o ionic molecuAR OR NEITHER?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

First of all , what is 'c2h6o'??? If you mean C2H6O , then the formula is usually written as

CH3CH3OH

CH3CH2OH is ethanol ( acetyl alcohol) The alcohol that humans frink in beers, wines, and spiritis.

It is a COVALENT molecule.

It does not have ionic tendences.

However, the 'OH' functional group can be substituted for an halogen or amine.

NB When writing chemical formula . For single letter elemental symbols it is a CAPITAL letter 'C' for carbon, not 'c' . Similrly 'H' & 'O'. For two letter

symbols , first letter is a capital letter and the second leetter is small/lower case. e.g. 'Na' ( Sodium' Latin for Nadium).

NNB You misunderstand between 'Ionic' and 'Molecular'. All substances are 'molecules'. The bonding within substances can be either 'Ionic' or 'covalent'.

What is Na and Cl -ionic formula?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Na^(+) + Cl^(-) = NaCl(s)

What is the formula for calcium and phosphorus?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Calcium and Phosphorus combined would be Calcium Phosphide , its formula is Ca3P2

What type of bond would form between carbon and chlorine?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Covalent.

CH3-Cl = chloromethane

CH2-Cl2 = di-chloromethane

CH-Cl3 - tri-chloromethane

CCl4 = tetrachloromethane.

All the bonds are covalent. However, because of chlorines strong electronegativity , the electrons in the C-Cl bond polarise towards the chlorine.

Does trisodium phosphate have a covalent or ionic bond?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

It has both .

Na3PO4 separates into 3Na^(+) & PO4^(3-_/

The sodium to phosphate bond is IONIC.

However, the oxygen to phosphorus bond in the phosphate anion is COVALENT.

Which compound is made of atoms joined by covalent bonds?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

There are millions of covalently combined compounds.

However, the two simplest are water and carbon dioxide.

Often represented by Water (H2O) ; H-O-H , and Carbon Dioxide (CO2) ; O=C=O

The lines between each atoms indicate the number of COVALENT bonds formed between atoms.

How many electrons are in zirconium?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Zirconium is No. 40 in the Periodic Table.

The '40' tells us the position of zirconium in the table, the number of protons in an atom , and the number of electrons in a neutrally charged atom.

So the answer to you question is '40'.

What type of chemical reaction is CH4 plus 2O2 equals CO2 plus 2H2O?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

It is a COMBUSTION reaction.

However, if you just mix the two gases they do not react. Activation energy is needed in the form of an external flame.

Is CaCI an example of ionic bonding?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

What is 'CaCl' ??? If you mean calcium chloride, then the formula is 'CaCl2'.

What is lithium fluoride form as?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Lithium fluoride is a chemical salt , equivalent to sodium chloride.

Reason /

Both lithium and sodium are in Group (I) of the Periodic Table and lose (ionise) one electron.

Both fluorine and chlorine are in Group(VII) of the Periodic Table and gain one electron

Both salts combine ionically. Both salts are white and rystalline

Both salts readily dissolve in water.

What is the formula and compound name for P4H10?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

This compound is hypothetical and is not possible it is P4O10

Is carbon dioxide single or double bonds?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Double bonds. Each oxygen is doubly bonded to the carbon. It is structurally represented by ( O=C=O ).

Is potassium nitrate a ionic compound?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

YES!!!

KNO3 can be divided into the ions 'K^(+)' and 'NO3(-)'.

Within the anion 'NO3(-)' the nitrogen and oxygens are bonded covalently.

What elements are TNT made of?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

TNT is 'tri-nitrotoluene'.

This is a benzene ring of 6 carbons.

On Carbon No. 1 the is a CH3 group

On carbons No's. 2,4 & 6 there are three NO2 group .

The remaining two carbons viz, 3 & 5 , have an hydrogen attached.

So the elements present are Carbon, Hydrogen, Nitrogen and Oxygen.

The formula is C7H5N3O6

What is the bond agle of HOCl?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

The bond angle in HOCl (HClO) is approximately 104.5 degrees, similar to that of water (H2O), due to its bent or V-shaped molecular geometry.

Is H2S a covalent bond?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

NO!!! It is a compound of hydrogen and sulphur. The bonds between hydrogen and sulphur are covalent.

H2S ( hydrogen sulphide) is the sulphur analogue of water.

H2S is the bad eggs smell that is given off from rotten eggs.

Which two atoms would typically form a convalent bond?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Carbon and oxygen as CO2 ( O=C=O)

or carbon and hydrogen , as CH4

or oxygen and hydrogen , as H2O ( H-O-H)

or nitrogen and hydrogen as NH3

or sulphur and ixygen as , SO2 ( O=S=O)

Are just a few pairs of atoms that form covalent compounds. There are many more pairs. However, as a general rule any pair of atoms from the right of the Periodic Table form covalent compounds.

Metallic elements to the left and centre of the Periodic Table tend to form ionic compounds.

What is the answer for this Suppose you had one mole of oxygen (O2). How many moles of hydrogen (H2) would react completely with the oxygen and how many moles of H2O would be produced?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Here is the BALANCED reaction eq'n.

2H2(g) + O2(g) = 2H2O(l)

The prefix number are the Molar Ratios 2:1::2

So oxygen is ONE(1) mole

Hence hydrogen is TWO(2) moles

It produces TWO(2) moles of water.

Does bromine tend to lose or gain electrons to become an ion?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Bromine, like Fluorine and Chlorine, is an Halogen. Halogens gain an electron to become X^(-) anion.

'X' being the general symbol for an halogen.

Is CaCl2 formed by a covalent bond?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

NO!!! It is TWO(2) ionic bonds.

CaCl2 = Ca^(2+) + Cl^(-) + Cl^(-)

Are batteries ionic or covalent?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Definitely IONIC. Because if there were no ions present, then charge would not move, hence no electric flow.

What molecule is formed by covalent bonding?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Molecules formed by covalent bonding include water (H₂O), methane (CH₄), and oxygen (O₂), where atoms share electrons to achieve a stable configuration.

Is neon a ionic or covalent bond?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

It is neither!!!!!

Neon is monatomic gas. That is a gas that exists as single uncombined atoms.

Ionic or Covalent means the type of bonding betyween atoms.

Is KCI and ionic bond?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

YES!!!!

KCl = K^(+) + Cl^(-)
