Chapter 3, Problem 3.24PP

a.

Summary Introduction

To determine:

The number of each type of ion present in the ionic compound potassium chloride.

Introduction:

There are two types of monoatomic ions that contain single atom. One is cation like ${\text{K}}^{\text{1+}}$ and the other is anion like ${\text{O}}^{\text{2}-}$. There are the different ways for naming each cation as well as anion.

Cations from the main group metals are typically named using the element name followed by the word ion. Cation formed by metals in other groups and at the bottom of the main group can have more than one positive charge.

Anions from the main group metals are named using the root of the element name followed by the ending –ide.
