ionic bonds
ionic compounds consist of
positive and negative ions
ionic compounds are formed between
metal +nonmetal
metal + polyatomic ion
NH4 + nonmetal/polyatomic ion
ionic formula
neutral, consists of positively and negatively charged ions
ionic formula is written as….
total positive charge = total negative charge
write the formula for sodium nitride, a compound containing Na+ and N3- ; explain how to check your answer
Na3N; it’s correct because the there are three positive +1 Na charges, and one negative 3- N charge, which when combined equal zero
write the formula for Ba2+ and Cl-
BaCl2
write the formula for Al3+ and Cl-
AlCl3
write the formula for Mg2+ and N3-
Mg3N2
what is a cation?
the metal in a compound
what is an anion?
the nonmetal in a compound
when naming an ionic compound with two elements, what are the steps?
-identify the cation/anion
-name the cation first, followed by the anion but replace the ending of the anion with -ide
-DO NOT change the names of polyatomic ions
name NaCl
sodium chloride
name K2S
potassium sulfide
name MgO
magnesium oxide
name CaI2
calcium iodide
name Al2S3
aluminum sulfide
write the formula for a compound containing Na+ and PO4^3
Na3PO4
write the formula for Ba2+ and NO3-
Ba(NO3)2
write the formula for Hg2^2+ and PO4^3-
(Hg2)3(PO4)2
write the formula for Hg2^2+ and Cl- ; explain
Hg2Cl2 because since Hg is polyatomic, the 2 cannot be moved
