Do salts have covalent bonds?
Salts are ionic. If they contain polyatomic ions,(e.g. NH4+ , SO42-.) There are covalent bonds inside these ions.
When are salts formed?
Salts are the products of the reaction between an acid and a base.
Is sodium perbromate a polyatomic ion?
Sodium perbromate is not a polyatomic ion. It is an ionic compound formed by combining sodium (Na +1 ) ions with perbromate ions (BrO4 -1). Perbromate by itself would be a polyatomic ion.
What is the definition of cations anions monatomic ions and polyatomic ions?
Cation: an atom who lost electrons.Anion: an atom who gain electrons.Monoatomic ion: ion formed from one element, as chloride Cl-.Polyatomic ion: ion formed from two or more elements, as (SO4)2-.
Is salt formed through covalent bonding?
No, salts, including table salt, are formed by ionic bonding.
How are polyatomic salts made?
When an oxyacid goes the process of ionization or neutralization. It produces salts and water.
Do salts have covalent bonds?
Salts are ionic. If they contain polyatomic ions,(e.g. NH4+ , SO42-.) There are covalent bonds inside these ions.
Ions formed out of molecules are referred to as what?
polyatomic ionsFor example, ammonia, NH3, forms the polyatomic ion NH4+.
All salts are formed from an acid and base?
yes, all salts are formed from an acid and a base. More specifically, all salts are made from a metal and a nonmetal.
When are salts formed?
Salts are the products of the reaction between an acid and a base.
Is sodium perbromate a polyatomic ion?
Sodium perbromate is not a polyatomic ion. It is an ionic compound formed by combining sodium (Na +1 ) ions with perbromate ions (BrO4 -1). Perbromate by itself would be a polyatomic ion.
Are salts nonionic compounds?
Salts are ionic compounds that are formed by neutrlization of an acid & a base.
What are salts?

If the name of a polyatomic ion ends in ate with what letters will the oxyacid formed from it end?
atoms
How do acids and bases differ from salts?
Salts are formed by the reactions between acids and salts; a salt contain an anion from the acid and a cation from the base.
What products are formed when bases react with an acid?
salts
What product are formed when acid react with bases?
salts
