Compounds

• ionic compound (or salt^{1 2})

  • metal and nonmetal
  • ”a chemical compound consisting of an assembly of cations and anions, which results in a compound with no net electric charge. The constituent ions are held together by ionic bonds.” (Wikipedia)
  • “A compound that consists of ions in a ratio that results in overall electrical neutrality” (Jones, 2016)
  • ionic compounds are not molecules

• molecular compound (or covalant compound)

  • “consists of electrically neutral molecules” (Jones, 2016)
  • 2 nonmetals

• A binary, ternary, or quaternary compound is a compound that contains two, three, or four different elements, respectively.

• amorphous solid (or non-crystalline solid) (מוצק אמורפי)

• crystal (or crystalline solid) (גביש, מוצק גבישי)
