Exercise \(\PageIndex{1}\)
Name the compound below. Hint: Is it ionic or covalent? Is the cation predictable or variable?
CuCN
- 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) cyanide
Exercise \(\PageIndex{1}\)
Name the compound below. Hint: Is it ionic or covalent? Is the cation predictable or variable?
N2O3
- Hint
-
It is covalent. There is no cation. Use prefixes to tell how many of each element are in the formula.
- Answer
-
dinitrogen trioxide
Exercise \(\PageIndex{1}\)
Name the compound below. Hint: Is it ionic or covalent? Is the cation predictable or variable?
Sn3(PO4)2
- 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
-
tin (II) phosphate
Exercise \(\PageIndex{1}\)
Name the compound below. Hint: Is it ionic or covalent? Is the cation predictable or variable?
SO3
- Hint
-
It is covalent. There is no cation. Use prefixes to tell how many of each element are in the formula.
- Answer
-
sulfur trioxide
Exercise \(\PageIndex{1}\)
Name the compound below. Hint: Is it ionic or covalent? Is the cation predictable or variable?
Ba(OH)2
- Hint
-
It is ionic. It is predictable, so no Roman numeral is needed. Just name cation and name anion.
- Answer
-
barium hydroxide
Exercise \(\PageIndex{1}\)
Write the formula of the compound below. Hint: is it ionic or covalent?
cadmium bromide
- Hint
-
It is ionic. Draw ions then put them together to make zero charge.
- Answer
-
CdBr2
Exercise \(\PageIndex{1}\)
Write the formula of the compound below. Hint: is it ionic or covalent?
nitrogen dioxide
- Hint
-
It is covalent. Use prefixes to figure out formula.
- Answer
-
NO2
Exercise \(\PageIndex{1}\)
Write the formula of the compound below. Hint: is it ionic or covalent?
sulfur hexafluoride
- Hint
-
It is covalent. Use prefixes to figure out formula.
- Answer
-
SF6
