Is acidic acid a molecular compound?
Yes, for the most part. It does have some ionic quality, but is considered molecular, because H is not considered to be a metal.
Whats the structural formula for vinegar?
Vinegar is highly diluted acetic acid. Acetic acid has the molecular formula of C2H4O2. The structural formula for acetic acid is CH3COOH
Is HNO2 ionic network covalent molecular or metallic?
HNO3 (nitric acid) is ionic.
Is calcium a molecular or Ionic?
Ca(OH)2 is ionic. It is composed of one calcium cation, Ca2+, bonded to two hydroxide anions, OH-.
What is the molecular formula of ethonoic acid?
I believe you are asking about the formula for ethanoic acid rather than ethonoic acid, which doesn't exist. Ethanoic acid is the proper, systematic (IUPAC) name for acetic acid. The molecular formula is: HOOC-CH2CH3.
Is acidic acid a molecular compound?
Yes, for the most part. It does have some ionic quality, but is considered molecular, because H is not considered to be a metal.
Is pure acetic acid ionic or molecular compound?
Any kind of acid should be a molecular compound because molecular compounds consists of the combination of non metals. An ionic compound would consist of a metal and a nonmetal, but all acids have the element "H" followed by a gas and are therefor not ionic compounds.
Is oxygen Diflouride a Ionic Molecular or Acid Compound?
Ionic Molecular
What is the net ionic reaction for the neutralization of acetic acid?
The net ionic reaction for the neutralization of acetic acid is CH3COOH(aq) + OH^- ---> CH3COO^- + H2O.
What is the difference between pyruvic acid butyric acid and acetic acid?
One way that pyruvic acid, butyric acid, and acetic acid are different is that their molecular masses are all different. They all also have different molecular formulas.
What is the molecular structure of acetic acid?
CH3-COOH
How do agueous solutions of ionic and molecular compounds difer?
Aqueous [note spelling] solutions of ionic compounds conduct electricity, but aqueous solutions of molecular compounds do not, unless the molecular compounds dissociate into ions when dissolved. Sugar, acetone, ethanol, and methanol, for example, do not dissociate, but acetic acid does.
What is the ionic compound for acetic acid?
If Acetic acid was reacted with a metal, the ion formed would be the acetate ion which is CH3COO-
What is the ionic formula for magnesium and acetic acid?
