I.
Naming Ionic Compounds (main group metal and main group nonmetal)
Full name of metal change nonmetal ending to –ide (qwirky ones: sulfide and phosphide)
1. NaCl _________________________
2. MgO ______________________________
3. Sr3N2 _________________________
4. AlF3 ______________________________
5. Li2O __________________________
6. CaS ______________________________
7. K3P __________________________
8. BeI 2 _____________________________
9. Al2O3 _________________________
10. Cs2Se ____________________________
11. BaBr2 ________________________
12. AlCl3 _____________________________
II.
Write formula for Ionic Compounds (main group metal and main group nonmetal)
Charge comes from the group number (+1, +2, +3, -3, -2, -1)
1. lithium iodide _______
2. barium sulfide ______
3. calcium phosphide _____
4. aluminum chloride ______
5. sodium oxide _____
6. magnesium sulfide ______
7. cesium nitride _____
8. strontium fluoride _______
9. aluminum sulfide ______
10. rubidium oxide ______
11. beryllium iodide _____
12. aluminum fluoride _____
Because of d-orbitals, transition metals may form more than one type of cation. One cation will always results from losing both s-orbital electrons,
for that reason MOST transition metals will form a +2 cation. For reasons known only to them, they will also lose some of their d-orbital electrons
and form more cations. Iron forms an Fe2+ and an Fe3+. Transition metal cations require a roman numeral in the name to designate which charge
you are talking about
FeCl2 Iron (II) chloride FeCl3 Iron (III) chloride
III.
Write formula for Ionic Compound (transition metal and main group nonmetal)
Cation charge comes from roman numeral in name, anion charge from group number. Do not put roman numeral in
formula!!!
1. copper (II) oxide _____
2. vanadium (III) fluoride ____
3. Iron (II) sulfide ____
4. scandium (III) nitride _____
5. chromium (IV) iodide ____
6. Manganese (VII) bromide _____
7. Cadmium (II) phosphide _____
8. molybdenum (III) oxide _____
9. Nickel (II) chloride _____
10. copper (I) sulfide _____
11. niobium (III) fluoride ______
12. palladium (II) phosphide _____
→ Exceptions: zinc only forms +2 and silver only a +1 so they do not require roman numeral. Lead, Tin, and
Bismuth are called “post transition heavy metals”, and they are ONLY main group metals that form two cations, so
they must have roman numerals
Silver chloride, zinc oxide, lead (II) chloride, Tin (IV) bromide, bismuth (V) nitride
IV.
Write the name of ionic compound (transition metal with main group metal) exceptions
included this time!!!
Determine the charge of transition metal by how it is bonded to the main group nonmetal. Example: CuCl 2 since
ionic compounds are neutral, the copper must be +2 because I have two Cl- ions. So the name is:
Copper (II) chloride
1. FeI2 _______________________
2. VP ___________________________
3. CrO _________________________
4. Cr2O3 _________________________
5. Fe2O3 ________________________
6. FeO ___________________________
7. MoBr3 ________________________
8. MoBr2 ___________________________
9. AgCl _________________________
10. ZnO _____________________________
11. PbCl2 _______________________
12. PbI4 _____________________________
