NAMING CHEMICALS – ionic compounds
A. Name these ionic compounds (you will need your table of polyatomic
ions):
1.
2.
3.
4.
5.
6.
7.
8.
9.
AgCl
AlF3
CaO
NaI
BeCl2
Mg(NO3)2
AgNO3
CuSO4
Al2(SO4)3
*Hopefully, you have noticed some have numbers and some don’t have numbers.
That’s because atoms give and take different amounts of electrons when they are
bonding, based on how many they have in their outermost or valence shell. Use the
periodic table in your agenda from now on to figure out how to put in the correct
number. Now wait for teacher for further explanation
B. Give the chemical formula for the following ionic compounds (you will
need your table of polyatomic ions):
1. copper 2 sulfate
10. aluminum oxide
2. copper 2 oxide
11. aluminum iodide
3. copper 2 chloride
12. aluminum sulphate
4. zinc oxide
13. iron 3 oxide
5. zinc fluoride
14. iron 3 phosphate
