Why do we use the term formula unit for ionic compounds instead of the term molecule? 1) In ionic compounds the ratio between cations and anions is given by the formula for the molecule.
2) In ionic compounds the ratio between cations and anions is given by the formula unit.
3) Ionic compounds consist of continuous arrays of cations and anions.
4) Ionic compounds consist of cations and anions present in a constant ratio.
5) The term is incorrect because ionic compounds exist as molecules.

Imagine that a new planet is discovered with two moons of equal mass: moon a and moon b. the mass of the new planet is greater than the combined mass of its moons. moon a is farther away from the new planet than moon b. what is the planet's gravitational pull on moon a compared to the planet's gravitational pull on moon b? the planet's gravity repels moon a with a greater force than it repels moon b, which is why moon a is farther away. the gravitational pull on moon b is greater than on moon a because moon b is closer to the new planet than moon a. the gravitational pull on moon b is greater than on moon a because moon b is farther away from the new planet than moon a. the gravitational pull on moon a is the same as the gravitational pull on moon b because distance does not affect the planet's gravity.
