What are binary and ternary ionic compounds?

– NaCl and AlCl. 3. are binary ionic compounds. • Ternary ionic compounds contain three elements, at least one metal and one nonmetal.

What are binary ionic compounds?

A binary ionic compound contains an ion that is a metal (cation) and an ion that is a nonmetal (anion).

What are three examples of ionic binary compounds?

Binary Compound Examples

Binary Acids Binary Ionic Compounds Binary Covalent Compounds
Hydrogen-nonmetal Metal-Nonmetal Nonmetal-Nonmetal
Hydrochloric Acid (HCl) Sodium Chloride (NaCl) Methane (CH4)
Hydrofluoric Acid (HF) Magnesium Iodide (MgI) Water (H2O)
Hydroiodic Acid (HI) Calcium Oxide (CaO) Carbon Dioxide (CO2)

What is example of ternary compound?

An example is sodium phosphate, Na3PO4. The sodium ion has a charge of 1+ and the phosphate ion has a charge of 3-. Therefore, three sodium ions are needed to balance the charge of one phosphate ion. Another example of a ternary compound is calcium carbonate, CaCO3.

Is CaCl2 binary or ternary?

What is a binary compound example?

Examples of Binary Compounds There are binary compounds which consist of more than one of each element. For example water, it comprises of two hydrogen atoms and one oxygen atom (H2O). Water and calcium chloride are also examples of binary compounds that one can see in their daily life.
