which of the following molecules will have more ionic character and why?

I think SO2, because the charge is -2.\n\nBy the way,I don't kno the cahrge of ClF3, sorry

ya true ionic compounds are those which have two ions in them\nand covalent with atoms bounded together to form molecules\n\nbut listen there are an awesome lot of compounds with more than two ions or radicals in them. it isnt easy to name them, let us leave it for the scientists to do it

Not exactly sure what you're asking here either, but perhaps a better answer is that electrons that are shared equally between two atoms in a bond are covalent, while electrons that spend more time with one atom than with the other form an ionic bond.\n\nHope that helps.

In chemistry, an ionic compound is a chemical compound in which ions are held together in a lattice structure by ionic bonds. The positively charged ion is usually a metal ion and the negatively charged ion is non-metallic element or molecule.\n\nIons can be single atoms, as in common table salt sodium chloride, or more complex groups such as calcium carbonate. But to be considered ions, they must carry a positive or negative charge.\n\nThus, in an ionic bond, one 'bonder' must have a positive charge and the other a negative one. By sticking to each other, they resolve, or partially resolve, their separate charge imbalances. Positive to positive and negative to negative ionic bonds do not occur. (For a real world analogy, experiment with a pair of bar magnets.)

Jaleesa, I think that you can use the same principle that I explained in the earlier question. The Sodium ion has fewer electrons and fewer shells, and is thus smaller than the potassium ion. But I think you should do the rest of your homework yourself.

ch3cooh is Ethel alcohol.\n\nNa cl is salt.\n\nSalt is the better conductor, and the higher concentration of .2 moles is the better conductor.\n\nWilliam

ionic: electrons are transfered.... i.e. NaCl, MgO\ncovalent: electrons are shared.... i.e. water, sulfur dioxide

Ionic compounds do not usually exist as isolated molecules, such as LiCl, but as a part of a crystal lattice--a three dimensional regular array of cations and anions. Ionic compounds form lattices due to the contributing coulombic attractions of having each cation surrounded by several anions and each anion surrounded by several anions\n\nTry out the quiz, its cool

Oxidizing agents remove electrons from other atoms to complete a stable outer octet.  Therefore, oxygen and fluorine are oxidzers.  (Hydrogen and lithium, because they can lose electrons more easily than accept them, are reducing agents.)\nSo, of the two oxidizers which is better?  It will be the one that is more electronegative.  Electronegativity increases left to right on a row in the periodic table*.  F is therefore more electronegative than O, so the winner is F.\n'Chemistry is full of exceptions and this rule does not hold for the noble family (VIIIa) because their electron structures are fully satisfied.

All ionic compounds dissociate into respective +ve and -ve ions in aquous solutions.\n\nYou possibly want to know such compounds which give both +ve and -ve ions with more than 1 charge.\n\nYes salts of all alkline earth metals (+ve2) with ions of more than one atoms (CO3,PO4 etc) having more than 1 -ve charge dissociate in the way you need to know.

Well, obviously the donation of electrons from + to - atoms. Also, ionic compounds are soluble in water. Since ionic interactions are weak, they are weakly bound together.

The word molecule tells you that it is a covalent compound (if it were ionic, it would be called a unit cell). Covalent compounds are USUALLY between nonmetals but in some cases can be between a metal and a non-metal. It all boils down to electronegativity difference (how much harder one atom is pulling on the electrons in question than the other atom). I hope this helps!

Generally, the elements that form ionic bonds tend to have either very high or very low electronegativity. This means the Alkali metals, Alkaline Earth metals, and the Halogens, especially when reacting with each other.

Ionic bonds are created by attraction of separated charges or differences in electronegativity.  This results in a dipole moment, which is a vector property, hence it is directional.

complex ions - which then form ionic molecules

I am not sure what you are asking but the answer could be a monoatomic ion. The positive being a cation and the negative being an anion.\n\nYou might ask over at http://forums.mychemistrytutor.com though.
