16 views1 pages

Document Summary

Writing formulas for ionic compounds: write the symbol for the metal cation and its charge followed by the symbol for the nonmetal anion and its charge. Some have one or more nicknames that are only learned by experience. Nacl = table salt, nahco3 = baking soda. Write systematic name by simply naming the ions. > metal with invariant charge = metal name. > metal with variable charge = metal name (charge) > nonmetal = stem of nonmetal name + ide. > polyatomic ion = name of polyatomic ion. Metals whose ions can only have one possible charge. Metals whose ions can have more than one possible charge. Determine charge by charge on anion and cation. Name = metal name with roman numeral charge in parentheses. Polyatomic ions are single ions that contain more than one atom. Often identified by parentheses around ion in formula. Name and charge of polyatomic ion do not change.
