Jul 15, 2014 · To name an ionic compound, the two involved ions are both individually named. The positively charged ion or cation comes before the negatively charged ion or anion. For example, Sodium has a +1 charge and Chloride has a -1 charge, so the ionic compound would be named Sodium Chloride.

Jan 7, 2014 · In general, the name of an ionic compound is name of cation + name of anion Cations in of non-transition metals have the same name as the metal (e.g., sodium, magnesium, aluminum).

Jun 14, 2016 · Calcium oxide (common name: quicklime) Calcium Ca is a metal, and is the compound's first name . Compounds with oxygen O are called oxides. "-ide" is always a last name . Since only CaO exists (one-to-one), no further specification is needed (compare CO carbon monoxide and CO_2 carbon dioxide)

May 31, 2014 · Same way as you would any other ionic compound, but with the addition of a notation in Roman numerals after the transition metal name to show what it's oxidation number is. This is needed because transition metals have variable oxidation numbers and so there would otherwise be more more than one different compound with the same name and that would be …

Jan 5, 2014 · NAMING IONIC COMPOUNDS The name of an ionic compound is name of cation + name of anion (two words) You will have to memorize the formulas of the common ions. One you have done that, you can follow the following rules to generate the names. NAMING CATIONS Cations that can have only one charge, such as Na⁺ and Mg²⁺ have the same name as the …

Jun 29, 2014 · Polyatomic Ions- are molecules made up of 2 or more atoms that are considered an ionic group, that is, a molecule with a charge. Rule 1. The cation is written first in the name; the anion is written second in the name. Rule 2. When the formula unit contains two or more of the same polyatomic ion, that ion is written in parentheses with the subscript written outside the …

Jul 15, 2014 · Here is a video which summarizes how to name ternary (3+ elements) ionic compounds. Video from: Noel Pauller Noel P.

Jan 8, 2015 · The naming of ionic compounds is dependent upon the type of ionic molecule formed from alkali metals, alkaline earth metals or transition metals. Binary Metal to Non-Metal When a metal and non-metal form an ionic molecule the metal will retain the element name and the non-metal will taken the suffix -ide. NaCl = Sodium Chloride KBr = Potassium Bromide …

Apr 24, 2015 · So the oxidation number of Mn in MnO is +2, and the name of the compound is manganese(II) oxide. The oxidation number of Mn in MnO₂ is +4, and the name of the compound is manganese(IV) oxide. The most common ions with multiple oxidation numbers are shown below. Here's a video on naming and writing formulas for ionic compounds with Roman …

Jun 10, 2016 · Copper (I) Phosphide We're dealing with an ionic compound, so what you want to do is name the cation (metal) first. The name of the metal is always taken straight from the periodic table. Cu is the atomic symbol for the element copper. Thus that is what comes first. The charge of the metal (which is 1 in our case) is written in Roman numerals and is placed in …
