Exercise \(\PageIndex{1}\)
Name the compound below. Hint: Is it ionic or covalent? Is the cation predictable or variable?
MgSO4
- Hint
-
It is ionic. It is predictable, so no Roman numerals are needed. Just name cation and name anion.
- Answer
-
magnesium sulfate
Exercise \(\PageIndex{1}\)
Name the compound below. Hint: Is it ionic or covalent? Is the cation predictable or variable?
Cu2S
- Hint
-
It is ionic. It is variable, so you must determine the charge needed to make a total of zero charge. Roman numeral is needed.
- Answer
-
copper (I) sulfide [The copper must be Cu1+ in order for two of them to balance the one S2–]
Exercise \(\PageIndex{1}\)
Name the compound below. Hint: Is it ionic or covalent? Is the cation predictable or variable?
Fe(NO3)3
- Hint
-
It is ionic. It is variable, so you must determine the charge needed to make a total of zero charge. Roman numeral is needed.
- Answer
-
iron (III) nitrate
Exercise \(\PageIndex{1}\)
Name the compound below. Hint: Is it ionic or covalent? Is the cation predictable or variable?
Al(ClO3)3
- Hint
-
It is ionic. It is predictable, so no Roman numerals are needed. Just name cation and name anion.
- Answer
-
aluminum chlorate
Exercise \(\PageIndex{1}\)
Name the compound below. (We are not dealing with peroxides. The anion is regular oxide.) Hint: Is it ionic or covalent? Is the cation predictable or variable?
PtO2
- Hint
-
It is ionic. It is variable, so you must determine the charge needed to make a total of zero charge. Roman numeral is needed.
- Answer
-
platinum (IV) oxide
Exercise \(\PageIndex{1}\)
Write the formula of the compound below. Hint: draw each ion first. Then put them together so they make a compound with zero charge.
calcium nitride
- Hint
-
Ca2+ and N3–
- Answer
-
Ca3N2
Exercise \(\PageIndex{1}\)
Write the formula of the compound below. Hint: draw each ion first. Then put them together so they make a compound with zero charge.
lithium bisulfite
- Hint
-
Li1+ and HSO31–
- Answer
-
LiHSO3
Exercise \(\PageIndex{1}\)
Write the formula of the compound below. Hint: draw each ion first. Then put them together so they make a compound with zero charge.
nickel (III) acetate
- Hint
-
Ni3+ and C2H3O21–
- Answer
-
Ni(C2H3O2)3
