Tomato, is today the most popular garden vegetable in America. For many years, however, tomatoes (then called love apples) were considered poisonous and were grown solely for their ornamental value. Tomatoes are usually easy to grow and a few plants provide an adequate harvest for most families.
An ion formula is what is called an empirical formula, which simply represents the ratios of atoms in the compound. In sodium chloride, NaCl, for ever atom of sodium, there is an atom of chlorine. Covalent bonds form between atoms that do not have a significant difference in electronegativity.Almost all covalent are formed between non-metals and atoms of the same kind (such as chlorine-chlorine molecules). There are two important types of covalent bonds: non-polar and polar bonds.olecular (covalent) compounds are between only non-metals. (Metallic compounds are between metals and other metals) An io â¦ nic compound is a pure substance that is formed from a metal and a nonmetal. It has a fairly high melting point and is a conductor of electricity when in a molten or aqueous state.
No, calcium carbonate (CaCO3) is the calcium salt of carbonic acid (H2CO3). If a compound has the name of a metal in it (sodium, calcium, copper, etc) it is generally not an a â¦ cid but a salt.A salt is formed when a metal ion or other positive ion takes the place of hydrogen in an acid. 2 people found this useful.a(OH)2 is calcium hydroxide. CaCO3 is calcium carbonate. The compounds have different chemical properties and chemical formulas.
