What are the rules for naming a binary ionic compound?

i have no idea but you should text 242.242 (chacha) or go to chacha.com. they will know


What is the chemical compound PO?

Using the rules of nomenclature for naming binary molecular compounds, this compound would be named phosphorus monoxide. However, I don't believe this compound actually exists. There are other phosphorus and oxygen binary compounds, however, such as P4O10 and P4O6, according to the Webelements website.


How do you write the ions and the correct formula for magnesium oxide using the rules for writing the formulas of ionic compounds?

Magnesium oxide, or magnesia, is a white hygroscopic solid mineral that occurs naturally as periclase and is a source of magnesium. It has an empirical formula of MgO and consists of a lattice of Mg²⁺ ions and O²⁻ ions held together by ionic bonding


Why higher oxidation state of P form covalent bond?

Higher oxidation states imply that ionic bonding is less likely. P(V) atoms would not form compounds with P5+ ions- the polarising effect of such an ion would be too great. (Fajans rules). The same argument can be applied to P(III) compounds as well so I am not clear why this question is being asked! The only ionic compounds of phosphorus involve oxidation state -3 (P3-)and it is only with the group 1 and group 2 metals that the bonding is mainly ionic.


How does electronegativity correlate with ionic bonding?

If the difference in electronegativity between the two atoms is greater than 2.0, then the bond is ionic. If one of the elements is a metal the rule is then relaxed a little to a difference of 1.6. Compounds on the "boundary of the rules" such as aluminium chloride Al, 1.61 Cl, 3.16 exhibit ionic and covalent tendencies. Al2Cl6 in the solid is ionic but in the liquid and vapour dimerises to form Al2Cl6 molecules.

Does the first element in a binary compound have a charge?

hey i am in chem. now and this is a question on my worksheet my notes said that compound composed of 2 different element the total charge ot the cations = total charge of anions so if it helps i put yes they are always ionic but i gused so good luck to you

How do you perform arithmetic operations on binary numbers?

There are a few rules to perform arithmetic operations in binary numbers. According to those rules you can add or subtract binary numbers. There are only two arithmetic operations used in binary numbers, they are addition and subtraction.


What are molecule compounds?

Naming Binary Molecular CompoundsBinary molecular compounds are composed of only two elements. Examples are H2O, NO, SF6 etc. . Naming these binary compounds is a little bit more involved than naming salts. Why is this so? Molecular compounds are more difficult to name because the atoms combine through covalent and not ionic bonds. Therefore we cannot use the electrical neutrality rule for these compounds. Most molecular compounds are made from nonmetals. Sometimes these compounds have generic or common names (e.g., H2O is "water") and they also have systematic names (e.g., H2O, dihydrogen monoxide). The common name must be memorized. The systematic name is more complicated but it has the advantage that the formula of the compound can be deduced from the name. Simple binary compounds consist of only a few atoms. Systematic naming of these compounds follow the rules: * The elements , except for H, are are written in order of increasing group number (e.g., NO not ON) * The number of atoms of a given type is designated by a prefix such as di- , tri-, tetra- etc. (The exception to this rule is for the first atom: if the first atom is "mono" then no prefix for it is given.) (e.g., NO is nitrogen monoxide not mononitrogen monoxide)

What is a correct way to write a symbol?

IUPAC (International Union for Pure and Applied Chemistry) has rules for writing chemical symbols and formulas. They are valid in all languages.For compounds search in a library Nomenclature of inorganic compounds and Nomenclature of organic compounds, with the text adapted to your language, if necessary.See the links below.


Is sodium floride a covalent bond?

Na2OSodium oxide. An ionic compound between a metal and a nonmetal. Do not use covalent bonding naming rules for ionic bonds.


Why is it that NaCl dissolves so well in water but many other ionic compounds do not?

It all depends on the ionic compound you are trying to dissolve in the water. There are several rules for this thing, called solubility rules. For example, Sodium Chloride is soluble because all 1A compounds (compounds with metals from the 1A column) are soluble in water. There are other solubility laws at this website. I think you will find it very helpful when trying to determine what does and does not dissolve in water. http://www.files.chem.vt.edu/RVGS/ACT/notes/solubility_rules.html
