Interpretation:
The chemical formulas of barium sulfate, magnesium nitrate and sodium acetate has to be determined. Also, the names and electrical charges of monoatomic cation and polyatomic anion has to be given.
Concept Introduction:
An atom or a molecule having a net electrical charge is known as atom. Charge of the electron is negative and charge of the proton is positive. Both electron and proton have the same magnitude. Positively charged ion is called cation and negatively charged ion is called anion. Because of the opposite charge of cation and anion they will readily form ionic compounds. Ions consisting of only a single atom known as monoatomic ions and more than two atoms form polyatomic ions.

- Read: On page three, paragraph one reads, "As the prefix, poly means many and atomic is related to atoms. An ion with more than one atom is a polyatomic ion. This differentiates polyatomic ions from monoatomic ions, which contain only one atom." A polyatomic ion is a group of covalently bonded atoms, with the total number of protons not equal to the total number of electrons. Atoms become ions when they gain or lose electrons, resulting in a net charge. On page one paragraph two it says. "The Octet rule describes the tendency of atoms to prefer valence shells with eight electrons. Atoms react and tend to create more stable compounds since they have fewer electrons. When discussing the octet rule, d or f electrons are not considered." According to the octet rule, atoms typically have eight electrons in their valence shell. Elements in the S block and P-block follow the Octet rule.

- Give the chemical formula of the acid. Your answer will be marked incorrect if you did not spelled the compound's name correctly. Please remember to include (aq) to your answer. Nitric acid Sulfuric acidarrow_forwardIons that form from one atom on the Periodic Table are call monatomic ions. However not all ionic bonds are formed with monatomic ions, polyatomic ions can form ionic bonds as well. The prefix poly- means many and atomic refers to atoms, so a polyatomic ion is an ion that contains more than one atom. This differentiates polyatomic ions from monatomic ions, which contain only one atom. Examples of monatomic ions include Na+, Fe3+, Cl-, and many, many others. We can think about polyatomic ions by comparing them to monatomic ions. A monatomic ion is an atom that has been ionized by gaining or losing electrons. The ion has a net charge because the total number of electrons is not balanced by the total number of protons in the nucleus. Thus, compared to the neutral atom, we have extra electrons—in the case of a negatively charged anion—or not enough electrons—in the case of a positively charged cation. For example, a neutral chlorine atom has an atomic number of 17, which means it has 17…arrow_forward* Read the passage provided. * Annotate key words and phrases pertaining to monatomic/polyatomic ions in an effort to compare/contrast them. * Create a concept map from the text to show relationships, as you understand them, among the key words and phrases related to this topic.arrow_forward
- Some of the names below are incorrect. Beside each name, write an “X” for an incorrect name and a “✔” for a correct name. For each incorrect name, explain what is wrong and why it is incorrect. I attatched the chart as well as my answers. I was unsure if the ending of the polyatomic names were changed to "ide" or not. I have also found that some periodic tables have more charges on elements than others, so I wasn't sure if Chlorine was a multivalent metal or not, as different periodic tables said different things.
