Ionic bonding - naming Chem-To-Go Lesson 14 Unit 4 Need a periodic table and an ion sheet
How to name ionic compounds • Write the name of the metal element, which is the positive ion. • If the metal is a transition metal (except for Ag or Zn), draw parentheses for the Roman numeral. We’ll fill it in later. • Write the name of the negative ion. • If it is a monatomic ion (a plain ol’ element), then the ending will be –ide. • If it is a polyatomic ion, then the ending will be probably be –ite or –ate. • Fill in the Roman numeral. You’ll need to determine the ORIGINAL charge of cation. It’s that positive charge that goes in the parentheses. Al2(SO4)3
Example 2 • Write the name of the metal element, which is the positive ion. • If the metal is a transition metal (except for Ag or Zn), draw parentheses for the Roman numeral. We’ll fill it in later. • Write the name of the negative ion. • If it is a monatomic ion (a plain ol’ element), then the ending will be –ide. • If it is a polyatomic ion, then the ending will be probably be –ite or –ate. • Fill in the Roman numeral. You’ll need to determine the ORIGINAL charge of cation. It’s that positive charge that goes in the parentheses. CaCl2 Tip: Be careful not to mistake the Cl2 portion for ClO2. Most polyatomic ions can be recognized by looking for O.
Example 3 • Write the name of the metal element, which is the positive ion. • If the metal is a transition metal (except for Ag or Zn), draw parentheses for the Roman numeral. We’ll fill it in later. • Write the name of the negative ion. • If it is a monatomic ion (a plain ol’ element), then the ending will be –ide. • If it is a polyatomic ion, then the ending will be probably be –ite or –ate. • Fill in the Roman numeral. You’ll need to determine the ORIGINAL charge of cation. It’s that positive charge that goes in the parentheses. Na2CO3 Helpful Tip: Don’t be intimidated by polyatomic ions. Simply find the metal, and the rest of the compound is the anion. If the anion has more than one element, then it is a polyatomic ion.
Example 4 • Write the name of the metal element, which is the positive ion. • If the metal is a transition metal (except for Ag or Zn), draw parentheses for the Roman numeral. We’ll fill it in later. • Write the name of the negative ion. • If it is a monatomic ion (a plain ol’ element), then the ending will be –ide. • If it is a polyatomic ion, then the ending will be probably be –ite or –ate. • Fill in the Roman numeral. You’ll need to determine the ORIGINAL charge of cation. It’s that positive charge that goes in the parentheses. CuF2 Helpful Tip: Don’t ever backwards criss-cross to find the polyatomic ion. If the subscripts have been reduced, then you’ll make a mistake.
