Answer to Question 1

An ionic compound is formed between a metal and a nonmetal (or polyatomic ions) and is held together through the attraction of opposite charges. An example is NaCl. A molecular compound is usually formed between 2 or more nonmetals and is held together through the sharing of electrons between atoms. An example is CO2.

Answer to Question 2

A

Answer to Question 3

D
