basic nomenclature (monoatomic ions, polyatomic ions, oxyacids, ionic compounds)

Question 1

Are monoatomic cations metals or nonmetals?

Answer 1

Metals

Question 2

How are charges shown for monoatomic cations if the same element can form multiple different cations with different charges

Answer 2

With Roman Numerals relating to positive charge

ex: Fe 2+ = Iron (II) ion, Fe 3+ = Iron (III) ion

Question 3

Are monoatomic anions metals or nonmetals?

Answer 3

Nonmetals

Question 4

How are monoatomic anions referred to?

Answer 4

____-ide ion

ex: H- = Hydride ion

Question 5

What are polyatomic ions?

Answer 5

Multiple atoms covalently bonded that all-together have a charge

Question 6

How are polyatomic cations referred to?

Answer 6

____-ium

ex: Ammonium= NH+4

Question 7

How are polyatomic anions referred to?

Answer 7

Trick question - it varies

some use -ide ion

Question 8

What is an oxyanion

Answer 8

A polyatomic anion that contains oxygen

Question 9

What do “ate” and “ite” mean when referring to oxyanions?

Answer 9

An “ate” oxyanion has one more oxygen than the “site” oxyanion, even tho they have the same charge and all the other elements are the same.

Question 10

How do you name an ion with both an oxyacid and a hydrogen?

Answer 10

Same as the oxyacid name, but with “hydrogen” or “di-hydrogen” at the beginning.
