Can two metals react with each other?

Two metals cannot chemically react because they have the same charge and therefore there is no attraction between them for them to bond with.

How do you know if a molecule is ionic or covalent?

Classifying compounds as ionic or covalent

If a compound is made from a metal and a non-metal, its bonding will be ionic.
If a compound is made from two non-metals, its bonding will be covalent.

What is the difference between ionic and covalent bonding?

In ionic bonding, atoms transfer electrons to each other. Ionic bonds require at least one electron donor and one electron acceptor. In contrast, atoms with the same electronegativity share electrons in covalent bonds, because neither atom preferentially attracts or repels the shared electrons.

Is KCl a covalent bond?

Explanation: A covalent bond is formed when there is sharing of electrons between the atoms. Thus, K will transfer its one electron to the Cl atom. Thus, KCl will be an ionic compound as the bond formation is due to the transfer of electron.

Is caf2 ionic?

CaF2, Calcium Fluoride, Fluorite Calcium fluoride is an ionic crystal with the fluorine anions in a simple cubic array and calcium cations in half of the cubic sites of the structure.

Is C2H4 ionic?

C2H4 (Ethylene) consists of 2 carbon atom and 4 hydrogen atoms. The carbon-carbon bond is double covalent bond ie; sharing of two-electron pairs occurs. As a result, both carbon and hydrogen get their octet complete to form a neutral molecule C2H4.

Is NH3 ionic?

Ammonia (NH3) does not consist of any ionic bonds. Both Hydrogen and Nitrogen share electrons among each other in order to complete their valence shells and become stable. NH3 or commonly known as Ammonia is held together with covalent bonds, not ionic. This means that they’re sharing electron pairs.

Is p2o5 ionic?

For best results enter two or more search terms….Identify compound as ionic or covalent then give proper name.
