Which of the following is a difference between naming ionic and covalent compounds?
Group of answer choices

In ionic compounds the ending of the second element changes to -ide, but not in covalent compounds.

In covalent compounds, the prefix of the first element is always ignored but the prefix in the second element depends on the subscript of the element. In ionic compounds, the subscript on each element does not affect the name of the compound.

In covalent compounds the ending of the second element changes to -ide, but not in ionic compounds.

In covalent compounds, the prefix of the first element and second element depends on the subscript of each element. In ionic compounds, the subscript on each element does not affect the name of the compound.

Respuesta :

An ion with fewer electrons than its neutral atom is called a(n) cation. The charge of an ion with more electrons than its neutral atom is. negative.

The difference between naming ionic and covalent compounds is that, in ionic compounds the ending of the second element changes to -ide, but not in covalent compounds.

Ionic compounds are compounds that are formed by the by the transfer of electrons from a metal to a nonmetal. Covalent compounds are formed when electrons are shared between nonmetals.

For ionic compounds, the name of the second element(the nonmetal) often ends in -ide. For instance; sodium bromide, cesium oxide and potassium nitride. This does not apply when naming covalent compounds. The are named based on the subscripts of each element in the compound.
