How are polyatomic ions named in an ionic compound?

Polyatomic ions are named with their specific names, regardless of their overall charge. When naming an ionic compound with a polyatomic ion, the name of the cation is written first followed by the name of the anion (polyatomic ion).


Does the electron configuration denote the ratio of ions in the compound?

No. The formula unit for an ionic compound denotes the ratio of ions in the compound. For example, the formula unit NaCl indicates a ratio of 1 sodium ion to 1 chloride ion, CaCl2 indicates a ratio of 1 calcium ion to 2 chloride ions, and Fe2O3 indicates a ratio of 2 iron ions to 3 oxide ions.


What ions make up the compound PbCl4?

The compound PbCl4 is made up of lead (Pb) ions and chloride (Cl-) ions. In this compound, the lead atom has a charge of +4, and each chloride ion has a charge of -1, so it forms four chloride ions to balance the charge of the lead ion.

How are polyatomic ions named in ionic compounds?

If the compound contains a polyatomic ion, simply name the ion.


The ions Cr3 plus and O2- combine to form the ionic compound chromium oxide. In what proportions do these ions combine to produce a neutral compound?

The Cr3+ ion has a +3 charge, while the O2- ion has a -2 charge. To form a neutral compound, we need two O2- ions to balance the charge of one Cr3+ ion. Therefore, the ions combine in a 1:2 ratio to produce the ionic compound chromium oxide (Cr2O3).

What is the formula for the ionic compound forrmed by calcium ion and phosphate ion?

The formula for the ionic compound formed by the calcium ion (Ca^2+) and the phosphate ion (PO4^3-) is Ca3(PO4)2, known as calcium phosphate. In this compound, three calcium ions combine with two phosphate ions to balance the charges and form a neutral compound.


Is chloride a ion?

aluminium chloride is a compound which has one Al3+ ion and three Cl- ions per molecule.


How many K and S2- ions would be in formula unit of the ionic compound formed by these ions?

In order to form a neutral ionic compound, one K ion (with a +1 charge) would combine with two S2- ions (each with a -2 charge). Therefore, one formula unit of the compound would contain 1 K ion and 2 S2- ions.
