General organic chemistryWhich is a difference between molecular compounds and ionic compounds?
Select the correct answer below:
Molecular compounds typically form between a metal and a nonmetal, while ionic compounds typically form
between nonmetals.

arrays
of opposite charges.
Molecular compounds have high melting points and high boiling points, while ionic compounds are typicaly found
as gases or low-melting solids and low-boiling liquids.
