Lesson 2

Question 1

Type (I) Binary Ionic Compounds

Answer 1

composed of 2 different elements, contain a metal and non-metal
cation = named first and keeps its normal name
anion = named 2nd and add -ide to the end

Question 2

Type (II) Binary Ionic Compounds

Answer 2

multivalent metals form more than 1 cation
same as Type (I) but write which form it is in
[(I) (II) (III) (IV) (V) (VI)]

Question 3

Type (III) Binary Covalent Compounds

Answer 3

only contains non-metals
same as Type (I) but add a prefix according to the number of atoms present
(mono- is only used when the cation has a prefix as well)

Question 4

prefixes

Answer 4

mono-
di-
tri-
tetra- 
penta- 
hexa- 
hepta- 
octa- 
nona- 
deca-

Question 5

polyatomic ions

Answer 5

ions composed of more than one atom that are held together through covalent bonds
