QUESTION:

Classify the following substances as ionic compounds or covalent compounds containing discrete molecules: CH4, KF, CO, SiCl4, BaCl2

ANSWER:

Step 1 of 3

The compound molecules are said to be ionic if they can be separated with charges. The presence of electronegativity difference between the atoms connected by bonds makes it an ionic bond. The absence of electronegativity difference makes a covalent bond. Here there is a mutual sharing of electrons between the atoms connected by the bonds.
