What Do You Know About Chemistry of Molecular Compound Flashcards

Do you know about the chemistry of molecular compounds? A molecular compound is made up of two or more non-metals. Water is one of the commonly found molecular compounds, preceded by carbon dioxide, carbon monoxide, methane, and hydrogen peroxide. Identifying a molecular compound is rather simple. You need to know the formula. Read these flashcards to find out more about molecular compounds and then take the quiz to see what you learned.
