4.2a Naming Ionic Compounds. A) Naming Ionic Compounds. Ionic Compounds : composed of 2 parts : metal and non-metal. Part 1: Metal always comes first just write the metals name. Part 2: Non-Metal A lways comes second ending changes to include the suffix “ -ide ”. Examples:
E N D
Ionic Compounds: composed of 2 parts:metal and non-metal Part 1: Metal always comes first just write the metals name Part 2: Non-Metal Always comes second ending changes to include the suffix “-ide”
Examples: CaI2 Na3P
Try: AgIMgSe CsF Ca3P2
Try these Example: Write the chemical formula for a) lead sulfide. b) sodium nitride c) zinc phosphide d) zinc oxide
C) Special Cases 1. Multivalent metals: Multivalent metals can form two or more positive ions with different ionic charges. To distinguish between two ions formed from multivalent metals, the name must contain the ion’s charge. EX: Ti Fe Mn
Use Roman Numerals to represent which ion is used in the molecule NiCl2 -> NiCl3 -> Cromium (II) oxide -> Cobalt (III) sulfide -> Try the questions in the note package (#1+2)
2. Polyatomic ions: A polyatomic ion is an ion composed of more than one type of atom joined by covalent bonds. For example, carbonate (CO 2–) is a polyatomic atom. All polyatomic atoms have special names assigned to them.
EX: NaCH3OO -> ScPO4 -> Magnesium sulphate -> Nickel(II) hydroxide ->
