| NaOH, sodium hydroxide | lye; used as drain cleaner |
What are the 4 rules for naming ionic compounds?
How do we name binary ionic compounds? We follow the same general rules we just mentioned: Identify and name the cation; the cation is the metal. Identify and name the anion, and change the suffix to -ide; the anion is the nonmetal.
What are the three steps to name ionic compounds?
To name an ionic compound, you simply need to find the names of the cation and anion present in the compound and make sure to revise the ends of metal names as needed. First, write out the name of the metal, followed by the name of the non-metal with its new ending.
How many ways can an ionic compound be named?
Ionic compounds are named by stating the cation first, followed by the anion. Positive and negative charges must balance. Some anions have multiple forms and are named accordingly with the use of roman numerals in parentheses. Ternary compounds are composed of three or more elements.
What is the difference between naming ionic and covalent compounds?
Name an ionic compound by the cation followed by the anion. Covalent compounds are formed when two or more nonmetal atoms bond by sharing valence electrons.
How are ionic compounds named and how are they named?
Note that ionic compounds are named with the cation or positively-charged atom written before the anion or negatively-charged atom. In other words, the element symbol for the metal is written before the symbol for the nonmetal. You can recognize ionic compounds because they consist of a metal bonded to a nonmetal.
How to name a compound with only one type of cation?
Naming Binary Ionic Compounds with a Metal that Forms Only One Type of Cation 1 Using the names of the ions, this ionic compound is named calcium chloride. 2 The name of this ionic compound is aluminum fluoride. 3 The name of this ionic compound is potassium chloride
How to write a formula for an ionic compound?
If you know the name of a binary ionic compound, you can write its chemical formula. Start by writing the metal ion with its charge, followed by the nonmetal ion with its charge. Because the overall compound must be electrically neutral, decide how many of each ion is needed in order for the positive and negative charge to cancel each other out.
What are the names of binary ionic compounds?
A binary ionic compound is a compound composed of a monatomic metal cation and a monatomic nonmetal anion. The metal cation is named first, followed by the nonmetal anion as illustrated in Figure 4.5. 1 for the compound BaCl 2. The word ion is dropped from both parts. Subscripts in the formula do not affect the name.
