is calcium carbonate a molecular or ionic compound
CaCO3, is an ionic compound made up of cation and anion. The cation is calcium ion Ca2+ and anion is carbonate ion CO32-.
The calcium ion and carbonate ions are held together by an ionic bond. But CaCO3 contains covalent bond also as CO32- is made from carbon and oxygen atoms held together by covalnt bond. It is known as plyatomic ion.
