Question

06 question (1 point) which of the following compounds contain any ionic bonds? which compounds contain only covalent bonds? 1st attempt items (5 images) (drag and drop into the appropriate area below) see periodic table open ebook section 18.2

Explanation:

Step1: Recall ionic and covalent bond definitions

Ionic bonds form between a metal and non - metal through electron transfer. Covalent bonds form between non - metals by sharing electrons.

Step2: Analyze each compound structure

• In the first compound, there is a sodium (Na) which is a metal. The bond between Na and the rest of the non - metal part is an ionic bond.
• In other compounds without metals, atoms are non - metals (such as C, H, O, Cl, Br etc.). They share electrons to form covalent bonds.

Answer:

Compounds with a metal (like the one with Na) contain ionic bonds. Compounds made up of only non - metals (such as hydrocarbons, alcohols etc. among the given structures without metal ions) contain only covalent bonds.
