How does a hydrate differ from an anhydrate?

A hydrate contains water molecules in it's structure, but an anhydrate is the substance that remains when the water is removed from a hydrate.

Why are electrons shared in molecular compounds?

A molecular compound contains 2 or more nonmetals that form covalent bonds because nonmetals have high ionization energies, valence electrons are shared by nonmetal atoms to achieve stability.

Examples are shown below.

How do the names of molecular compounds differ from the names of ionic compounds?

Ionic: Cation is named first followed by the anion. If it's an ionic compound with a transition metal, there are more than one possible ion. Molecular - named with the least electronegative ion first + prefixes are given to both ions to indicate number of atoms in each element. The 2nd ion ends in "ide".

How are positive and negative ions formed?

Ions are formed when an atom loses or gains an electron. A positive ion is formed when element loses 1 or more electrons. A negative ion is formed when an element gains 1 or more electrons.

What is meant by the simplest formula of a compound?

It means the lowest whole number ratio of the atoms in a formula.
