Naming Ionic Compounds

  • Ions can join together to form compounds.
  • They join in such a way that their charges cancel out and the resulting compound is neutral (we will practise this later).
  • To name an ionic compound:
  1. Identify the two ions that make up the compound
  2. Write the name of each ion in that same order
  3. Hint: The positive ion (metal) will always come first
  4. Hint 2: It is important to include the (II) or (III) if it is part of the ion name.

Whakawai

  1. \(CaCO_{3}\)
    • \(Ca^{2+}\) and \(CO_{3}^{2-}\) ions \(\rightarrow\) Calcium Carbonate
  2. \(MgSO_{4}\)
    • Magnesium Sulfate
  3. \(Fe(OH)_{2}\)
    • Iron (II) Hydroxide
  4. \(Fe(OH)_{3}\)
    • Iron (III) Hydroxide

  • Answer 20 today, but you should be able to do all of them before we have a test.

Forming Ionic Compounds

When Ions Have Equal Charges

  • Some ionic formulae are easy to generate
  • This occurs when they have equal and opposite charges. E.g.
    • Potassium Chloride: \(K^{+}\) and \(Cl^{-1}\).
    • Simply remove the charges and join them together: \(KCl\).
    • Magnesium Sulfate: \(Mg^{2+} + SO_{4}^{2-} \rightarrow MgSO_{4}\)
    • Notice how the charge is removed, but we keep it \(O_{4}\)! That is because the 4 tells us how many oxygen atoms there is!
