Answer 1

According to the explanation given in the previous session, now we have 3 more compounds to analyze and classify:

1. BaCl2, this is Barium chloride, a compound that has a metal bonded to a nonmetal, this is the characteristic expected for ionic compounds

Ionic

Inorganic

2. (CH3)2O, this compound is a molecular compound, because there is only covalent bonds and since we have carbon in this molecule, we also have an organic compound

Molecular

Organic

3. CH3(CH2)2CH3, this is a Hydrocarbon called pentane, there is only hydrogens and carbons in this compound, therefore we will have:

Hydrocarbon

Organic

Molecular
