Ion Formation Flashcards
Silver ion
Ag^1+
The only times you don’t use Roman numerals are for which ions?
Silver ion and zinc ion
Zinc ion
Zn^2+
Mercury ( I ) ion
(Hg ) ^ 2+
2
Mercury ( II ) ion
(Hg) ^ 2+
Tin ( II ) ion
(Sn) ^ 2+
Tin ( IV ) ion
(Sn) ^ 4+
Lead ( II ) ion
(Pb) ^ 2+
Lead ( IV ) ion

What are the two ways that the smallest particle of a unit is a formula unit?
- If the compound contains a poly atomic ion
2. If the compound consists of elements in group 1 or 2, matched with an element in group 16 or 17
Groups 3-12 are called?
Transition elements or transition metals
We can not tell the charge of these elements, so we use the stock system
What is the point of the stock system?
In parentheses, after the 1st element, we put a Roman numeral, which denotes the charge of that first element
Atomic number is?
The whole number, which states the number of protons, and ONLY the number of protons.
Mass number
Sum of protons and neutrons
Isotope
Same element, different number of neutrons
