Question

question 6 points 2 which of the following do not contain ions? binary ionic compounds ternary ionic compounds acids binary molecular compounds

Explanation:

• Binary ionic compounds are made of ions (e.g., NaCl has \( \text{Na}^+ \) and \( \text{Cl}^- \)).
• Ternary ionic compounds also contain ions (e.g., \( \text{Na}_2\text{SO}_4 \) has \( \text{Na}^+ \) and \( \text{SO}_4^{2-} \)).
• Acids in aqueous solution dissociate into ions (e.g., \( \text{HCl} \) becomes \( \text{H}^+ \) and \( \text{Cl}^- \)).
• Binary molecular compounds are formed by covalent bonds (e.g., \( \text{CO}_2 \), \( \text{H}_2\text{O} \)) and consist of molecules, not ions.

Answer:

D. Binary molecular compounds
