Molecular Elements, Molecular Compounds, or Ionic Compounds 

Classify each of the substances as an atomic element, molecular element, molecular compound, or ionic compound. 

Which statement best summarizes the difference between ionic and molecular 

Ionic compounds occur throughout Earth s crust as minerals. Examples include limestone (CaC03), a type of sedimentary rock gibbsite [Al(OH)3], an aluminum-containing mineral and soda ash (Na2C03), a natural deposit. We can also find ionic compounds in the foods that we eat. Examples include sodium chloride (NaCl), which is table salt calcium carbonate (CaCOs), a source of calcium necessary for bone health and potassium chloride (KCl), a source of potassium necessary for fluid balance and

The alkane series is also called the saturated hydrocarbon series because the molecules of this class have carbon atoms connected by single bonds only, and therefore have the maximum number of hydrogen atoms possible for the number of carbon atoms. These substances may be represented by the general formula C H2,I + 2 and molecules of successive members of the series differ from each other by only a CH2 unit. The line formulas and names of the first 10 members of the series, given in Table 21-2, should be memorized because these names form the basis for naming many other organic compounds. It should be noted that the first parts of the names of the later members listed are the...

Although how they were produced is not completely understood, petroleum and natural gas were most likely formed from the remains of marine organisms that lived about 500 million years ago. Petroleum is a thick, dark liquid composed mostly of compounds called hydrocarbons that contain carbon and hydrogen. Table 9.5 lists the formulas and names of several common hydrocarbons. Natural gas, usually associated with petroleum deposits, consists mostly of methane but also contains significant amounts of ethane, propane, and butane.
