which one is the molecular compound and why: NaNO3, RbBr, N2O4, SrSO3 or CuCl2

Answer 4

N204 only one covalently bonded where 2 atoms or more are joined

Answer 5

N204 because a molecular compounds is one that is only covalently bonded.

Answer 6

First, define molecular compounds (link 1): molecular (covalent) compounds are between only nonmetals. ionic compounds are between metals and nonmetals.



Next consult the periodic table to understand metals versus nonmetals. Link 2 shows metals in gray and nonmetals in green. Both Nitrogen (atomic number 7) and oxygen (atomic number 8) are nonmetals. A simple explanation of periodic properties can be found at link 3.



N2O4 dinitrogen tetraoxide is the molecular compound (link 4).



NaNO3 is sodium nitrate, an ionic compound with Na+1 and NO3-1. RbBr is rubidium bromide, an ionic compound with Rb+1 and Br-1. SrSO3 is strontium sulfite, an ionic compound with Sr+2 and SO3-2. CuCl2 is cupric chloride, with Cu -2 and 2 Cl-1.
