All are formed from two or more nonmetals.
Ionic compounds generally involve a metal and nonmetal (NaCl)

1. What are the structural differencesbetween ionic and molecular compounds?
2. How do those differences affecttheir chemical formulas?

The chemical formula for a covalent compoundis called a molecular formula;
The chemical formula for an ionic compoundis called a formula unit.
Example: H2O is the molecular formula of water
Example: NaCl is the formula unit of common table salt

What’s the dif?

AVISUAL look
at the differencewill help out:

Like any ionic compound,sodium chloride exists as a crystal:
![Page 7: Naming Molecular Compounds CH 4 methane BCl 3 boron trichloride CO 2 Carbon dioxide All are formed from two or more nonmetals. Ionic compounds generally](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022062715/56649db05503460f94a9da4b/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
Let’s shrinkthe ions sowe can takea peek inside

The formula unit for sodium chloride is NaCl.However, if we look inside the crystal,the Na+ and Cl- ions are each bondedto six oppositely charged neighbors:
![Page 9: Naming Molecular Compounds CH 4 methane BCl 3 boron trichloride CO 2 Carbon dioxide All are formed from two or more nonmetals. Ionic compounds generally](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022062715/56649db05503460f94a9da4b/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)

Because each Na+ is bonded to more than one Cl- ion,and each Cl- is bonded to more than one Na+ ion, then
![Page 11: Naming Molecular Compounds CH 4 methane BCl 3 boron trichloride CO 2 Carbon dioxide All are formed from two or more nonmetals. Ionic compounds generally](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022062715/56649db05503460f94a9da4b/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
all the ions in the whole crystal arepart of one single bonded unit,
and the crystal below would be Na32Cl32.
![Page 12: Naming Molecular Compounds CH 4 methane BCl 3 boron trichloride CO 2 Carbon dioxide All are formed from two or more nonmetals. Ionic compounds generally](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022062715/56649db05503460f94a9da4b/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
This is impractical, given the enormous numbers of ions in a crystal large enough to see with our eyes.
So, only the ratio of ions is given (its empirical formula),
which is called a formula unit.
NaCl is the formula unit forthe sodium chloride crystal.
NaCl is the smallest whole numberratio of sodium and chloride ions
in the crystal.

H2O
The molecule is represented by a molecular formula,showing all the atoms present in the unit.The ionic compound is represented by the ratio of its ions, which is called a formula unit.
