An element is a pure substance it can not be broken up into anything else.
A compound is two or more pure substances joined together chemically, such that they can not be separated physically - a new substance. However this substance can be converted chemically back into its component bits.
A mixture is two or more substances that are mixed up but not joined together, such that they can be separated physically.
There is also the a "solution" which is like a mixture but where the mixing is happening at a molecular level, it is possible to separate the components physically, but not easily.
No, NH4NO3 is not a binary compound because it contains nitrogen, hydrogen, and oxygen, which are more than two different elements. It is a ternary compound because it contains three different elements.
Sodium phosphate is a ternary salt.
This is a ternary conpound.
No, HI is not a binary compound. It is a binary molecular compound consisting of hydrogen and iodine atoms.
The name for the binary compound BeF2 is beryllium fluoride.
This is determined by chemical analysis.
No, NH4NO3 is not a binary compound because it contains nitrogen, hydrogen, and oxygen, which are more than two different elements. It is a ternary compound because it contains three different elements.
No, HCN is not a ternary acid. Ternary acids are acids that contain hydrogen, a nonmetal, and oxygen. HCN does not contain oxygen, making it a binary acid.
ternary
Binary
Yes, sodium nitrate is a binary compound as it consists of two elements, sodium (Na) and nitrate (NO3).
Yes, BaSO4 is a binary compound. It is composed of barium (Ba) and sulfate (SO4) ions, with no other types of elements involved in its chemical formula.
Sodium phosphate is a ternary salt.
No, a binary compound consists of two different elements. A compound with five different elements would be a more complex compound, typically known as a ternary or quaternary compound.
"Ternary" means that the compound contains three elements.
No, Na2HPO4 is not a binary ionic compound. It is a ternary compound because it contains more than two different elements - sodium (Na), hydrogen (H), phosphorus (P), and oxygen (O).
