An example of a compound?

Question

As stated above, I need an example of a compound for my chemistry class homework. Thanks in advanced.

Answer 1

These are all common compounds

H2O --> water

NaCl --> sodium chloride (table salt)

NaHCO3 --> sodium bicarbonate (baking powder)

KOH --> potassium hydroxide

H2SO4 --> sulfuric acid

Fe3O2 --> ferric oxide (rust)

CH3CH2OH --> ethanol (grain alcohol)

If you want a bit more exotic:

LiALH4 --> lithium aluminium hydride

BeCr2O7 --> berillium dicromate

KMnO4 --> potassium permanganate

Answer 2

Ionic or Covalent compound? [Please remember that all the numbers are subscripts (smaller than the actual letters and written at a lower level)]

For Ionic: H2SO4 (Sulphuric Acid), or CaCO3 (Calcium Carbonate).

For covalent, Maltose (two glucose sugars joined by a glycosidic bond. Formula:C6H22O11), or Chloroform (Trichloromethane. Formula: CCl3).
