Metacognition is  cognition about cognition, thinking about thinking, or knowing about knowing. It comes from the root word  meta , meaning beyond. It can take many forms; it includes knowledge about when and how to use particular strategies for learning or for problem solving. There are generally two components of metacognition: knowledge about cognition, and regulation of cognition.
In chemistry, an ionic compound is a chemical compound in which ions are held together in a structure by electrostatic forces termed ionic bonds.The positively charged ions are called cations and the negatively charged ions are called anions.onic compounds without the acidic hydrogen ion (H +), or the basic ions hydroxide (OH â) or oxide (O 2â), are also known as salts and can be formed by acid-base reactions. Ionic compounds containing hydrogen ions are classified as acids and compounds containing hydroxide or oxide ions are classified as bases.
Ionic compounds are between metals and non-metals. Molecular (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.olecular (covalent) compounds are between only non-metals.
