What substances are binary compounds?
There are lots and lots of them! Anything that only contains two elements is called a binary compound.See the Web Links to the left for more information about them!
Does binary molecular compounds contain carbon?
Binary molecular compounds can contain carbon, but not all of them do. Binary molecular compounds are made up of two nonmetal elements, so if carbon is bonded with another nonmetal element, it would form a binary molecular compound. Examples include carbon dioxide (CO2) and carbon monoxide (CO).
Is CO ionic or molecular?
CO is a molecular compound. It consists of a covalent bond between carbon and oxygen atoms.
How are formulas for binary molecular compounds written?
Formulas for binary molecular compounds are written by indicating the number of atoms for each element using prefixes to denote the quantity. For example, carbon monoxide is written as CO, where "mono-" indicates one carbon atom and one oxygen atom. The prefixes used are: mono-, di-, tri-, tetra-, penta-, hexa-, hepta-, octa-, nona-, deca-.
Is carbon oxygen a compound or element?
Carbon dioxide is a compound made of carbon and oxygen atoms. Carbon on its own is an element, while oxygen is also an element. When they are chemically bonded together in a specific ratio, they form a compound.
