Exam 2 notes Flashcards
Ionic compound
held together by the attraction between the positive and negative ions.
F-
Floride ion
Cl-
cloride ion
Br-
bromine ion
I
iodide ion
O2
oxide ion
S2
sulfide ion
P3
phosphide ion
N3
nitride ion
Naming Ions
Add ion (for cation) to the element name.
Ex. Li+ = lithium ion or lithium cation
For elements that can form multiple ions
Add the magnitude of the charge to the name
Ex. Fe2+ ion (II) Fe3+(II) Fe1+ (I)
Naming ions anions
Add -ide to element name stems.
Ex. Br- = bromide ion
O2 = oxide ion
Ionic formula
chem formula for the ionic compound
writing ionic formula
Cation goes 1st; anion goes last
total number of positive charges = total number of negative charges in an uncharged compound.
Ex. LiBr = Li+1 Br-1
NaCl = Na+ Cl-
Mg + O = Mgo
Li+ O2- = Li2O-2
Mg2+ Br1- = MgBr2
Naming ionic compounds
- The cation name goes 1st omit “ion” or “cation.”
- Anion’s name goes next or last.
Ex. LiBr2 = Lithium chloride, CaBr2 = Calcium Bromine - For cation with more than 1 positive charge.
Put the charge in (Roman numerals) in parentheses after the cation name.
Ex. FeCl2
= iron (II) chloride, FeCl3 = iron (III) chloride,
Polyatomic ion
Poly = many
Atomic = atoms
Ion = Charge
