Classify the substances as atomic elements, molecular elements, molecular compounds, or ionic compounds. a. Agb. Cdc. MgCl2d. F2f. HIg. NO2h. NaCli. Cl2

Hello,

We'll be doing some classification of some chemical substances based on molecules, elemental state or ionic or electrovalent properties.

A) Ag = atomic element : silver (Ag) in its elemental state is an atomic element.

B) Cd = atomic element : Cadmium (Cd) is an element of the periodic table and belongs to transition metal.

C) MgCl = ionic compounds: this is a compound formed between magnesium (Mg) and chlorine (Cl) to give MgCl. This compound has ionic or electrovalent properties since electron transfer occurred between the cation (Mg) and anion (Cl).

D) F₂ = moleculer element : Fluorine F₂ is moleculer element since two elements of fluorine combine together to form a molecule.

E) HI = molecular compound : this is a compound formed from the reaction between hydrogen and iodine. It's a molecular compound because they are two different elements combining together to form a compound.

F) NO₂ = molecular compound

G) NaCl = ionic compound

H) Cl₂ = molecular element
