Binary compounds are chemical combinations of 2 different nonmetals.

• metallic

• ionic

• diatomic

Covalent

1 answer

Binary compounds can be both covalent and ionic, depending on the elements involved. When two nonmetals combine, they form covalent compounds, which involve sharing of electrons between atoms. On the other hand, when a metal and a nonmetal combine, they form ionic compounds, where electrons are transferred from the metal to the nonmetal, resulting in the formation of ions.
