Is osmium a cation or anion?
Osmium is a metal
How are the salts named?
Salts made of a metal and a nonmetal are named this way: [metal] [nonmetal root]-ide Examples: sodium + chlorine = sodium chloride potassium + iodine = potassium iodide Salts made from a metal or other complex cation and a nonmetal or other complex anion are named based on the cation and anion names: ------------------------------- ammonium ion + hydroxide ion = ammonium hydroxide sodium ion + hypochlorite ion = sodium hypochlorite calcium ion + chloride ion = calcium chloride
Is tin an anion or a cation?
Tin on its own is a neutral atom but will form cations since it is a metal.
What does a nonmetal need to do to form an anion?
A non metal must gain from 2 to 3 electrons to form an anion.
What type of bond will form between an atom of magnesium and an atom of nitrogen?
An ionic bond will form because the cation (Mg) is a metal and the anion (N) is a nonmetal. The chemical formula for magnesium nitride would be Mg3N2.
What is main ingredients of the salts?
Salts contain a cation (metal or ammonium) and an anion (a nonmetal etc.).
Ionic compounds are composed of?
a metal cation and a nonmetal anion
What is ionic compound composed of?
a metal cation and a nonmetal anion
What are two characteristics of compounds that contain ionic bonds?
NaCl Sodium chloride, common table salt. A metal nonmetal bond and the (metal) cation, Na +, has donated an electron to the (nonmetal) anion, Cl -.
What makes an ionic compound?
An ionic compound generally forms from a metal and a nonmetal. The nonmetal oxidizes the metal, forming a metal cation and a nonmetal anion. They ions are held together by the electrical attraction. Ions often bond in latticed structures to form crystals.
What are Mineral salts?
Two main components: a metal (or ammonium) as cation and an anion.
What kind of reaction is metal oxide nonmetal oxide æ ternary salt?
Reaction between a metal oxide and a nonmetal oxide to produce a salt containing at least three elements is a synthesis reaction. The salt almost always contains at least one monatomic metal cation and at least one polyatomic anion that contains all of the elements of the reacted nonmetal oxide plus the oxygen atoms from the metal oxide. This type of anion is called an "oxyanion" or the "anion of an oxyacid."
What does the term salt mean to chemist and how may a salt form?
A salt is any ionic compound formed between a metal cation and a nonmetal anion (this also includes ions like carbonate CO32-, sulfate SO42-). They are usually formed in the reaction between an acid from which the anion comes and a metal which is oxidised by the hydrogen ions into the metal cation.
What kind of reaction is metal oxide plus nonmetal oxide æ ternary salt?
Reaction between a metal oxide and a nonmetal oxide to produce a salt containing at least three elements is a synthesis reaction. The salt almost always contains at least one monatomic metal cation and at least one polyatomic anion that contains all of the elements of the reacted nonmetal oxide plus the oxygen atoms from the metal oxide. This type of anion is called an "oxyanion" or the "anion of an oxyacid."
What two forms an ionic bond?
Generally the ionic bond is formed between a metal and a nonmetal (cation and anion). As an example, sodium and bromine: sodium bromide, NaBr.
Is osmium a cation or anion?
Osmium is a metal
What are ions of salts?
A cation (metal or ammonium) and an anion.
