Question

Which of the following are molecular compounds? (Select all that apply)

A) NaCl
B) KBr
C) CO2
D) H2O

Answer 1

The molecular compounds from the options given are CO2 (Carbon Dioxide) and H2O (Water). NaCl and KBr are ionic compounds, not molecular.

Step-by-step explanation:

The following are molecular compounds:

• CO2 (Carbon Dioxide)
• H2O (Water)

A molecular compound is formed when two or more nonmetals share electrons and covalently bond together. NaCl (Sodium Chloride) and KBr (Potassium Bromide) are not molecular compounds; they are ionic compounds, composed of a metal cation and a nonmetal anion.
