Concept explainers
Interpretation:
The metal which forms one type of ion or more than one type of ion in all the compounds is to be determined and each ionic compound is to be named accordingly.
Concept introduction:
Compounds composed of one or more cations paired with one or more anions are termed as ionic compounds.
Cations are metals and anions are non-metals.
Ionic compound is composed of a metal and a non-metal.
If the metal is transition metal, it can form more than one type of ion.
For
To name the ionic compounds that contain the metals form one type of ion, first, write the name of cation, followed by the base name of the anion with suffix –ide.
In order to name the ionic compounds that contain metals which can form more than one type of ion, first, write the name of cation followed by the charge of the cation in roman numeral in parenthesis followed by the base name of the anion with suffix -ide.

- - Classify each compound as ionic or molecular. If it is ionic, determine whether the metal forms only one type of ion or more than one type of ion. (a) CoCl2 (b) CF4 (c) BaSO4 (d) NOarrow_forwardThe compound SiO2 does not exist as a discrete molecule while CO2 does. This is because ________. (A) CO2 is a molecular compound, whereas SiO2 is an ionic compound. (B) The SiO2 is solid while CO2 is a gas. (C) The sigma bond between Si and O atoms is very weak. (D) The Si atom does not form a stable pi-bond with the O atom.arrow_forwardAnswer true or false. (a) The name of a binary ionic compound consists of the name of the positive ion followed by the name of the negative ion. (b) In naming binary ionic compounds, it is necessary to state the number of each ion present in the compound. (c) The formula of aluminum oxide is Al2 O3 . (d) Both copper(II) oxide and cupric oxide are acceptable names for CuO. (e) The systematic name for Fe2 O3 is iron(II) oxide. (f) The systematic name for FeCO3 is iron carbonate. (g) The systematic name for NaH2PO4 is sodium di- hydrogen phosphate. (h) The systematic name for K2HPO4 is dipotassium hydrogen phosphate. (i) The systematic name for Na2O is sodium oxide. (j) The systematic name for PCl3 is potassium chloride. (k) The formula of ammonium carbonate is NH4CO3. 39. (a) A covalent bond is formed between two atoms whose difference in electronegativity is less than 1.9. (b) If the difference in electronegativity between two atoms is zero (they have identical electronegativ- ities),…arrow_forward
- Name each ionic compound. In each of these compounds, the metal forms only one type of ion.(a) LiI(b) MgS(c)BaF2(d) NaFarrow_forwardElements in the same group of the periodic table often formoxyanions with the same general formula. The anions arealso named in a similar fashion. Based on these observations,suggest a chemical formula or name, as appropriate, for eachof the following ions: (a) BrO4-, (b) SeO32-, (c) arsenate ion,(d) hydrogen tellurate ion.arrow_forwardThe atomic number of sulfur is 16. Sulfur combines withhydrogen by covalent bonding to form a compound, hydrogensulfide. Based on the number of valence electrons in a sulfuratom, predict the molecular formula of the compound.(A) HS(B) HS2(C) H2S(D) H4Sarrow_forward
