The name for most ionic compounds other than oxides?
A "salt" is another name for ionic compounds
Is iodine a cation or anion?
An iodine is an anion, or a negatively charged ion.
What are true statements about ionic compounds?
Ionic compounds are formed through the transfer of electrons from a metal to a nonmetal. They have high melting and boiling points due to strong electrostatic attractions between ions. Ionic compounds conduct electricity when dissolved in water or in a molten state.
Is All ionic compounds include at least two elements true?
Yes, all ionic compounds consist of ions formed from at least two different elements - one positively charged cation and one negatively charged anion. This is what allows them to have an overall neutral charge and form ionic bonding.
Explain why sulfur aluminide is not a correct name for the ionic compound formed between sulfur and aluminum?
In naming an ionic compound, the cation is named first, with no modification of the element name, and the anion is named secondly, with the element name modified by the suffix "ide". The incorrect name given in the question applies the proper method for the cation to the anion and vice versa.
In naming a binary ionic compound the name of the appears first followed by the name of the?
In naming a binary ionic compound, the name of the cation (metal) appears first, followed by the name of the anion (non-metal). The cation keeps its elemental name, while the anion's name is modified to end in "-ide".
Binary ionic compounds are named in what pattern?
Binary ionic compounds are named by first stating the name of the cation (metal) followed by the name of the anion (nonmetal) with an -ide ending.
What item comes first in the formula for an ionic compound?
Typically in writing an ionic compound, the cation is written first, then the anion.
What is the correct order to use in writing the name of an ionic compound?
The name of an ionic compound typically consists of the cation followed by the anion. For example, in the compound sodium chloride (NaCl), "sodium" is the cation and "chloride" is the anion.
In naming ionic compound the cation is named first?
Yes, in naming ionic compounds, the cation is always named first, followed by the anion. This is because the cation is the positively charged ion, and its name is written before the negatively charged anion to create the compound name.
When writing the chemical formulas for ionic compound which ion is written first?
The cation is written first in the chemical formula for ionic compounds. This is because the cation is positively charged and the anion is negatively charged, so the cation is listed first to indicate the compound's structure.
Which rule is used for writing the name of an ionic base?
The rule for writing the name of an ionic base is to use the name of the cation followed by the name of the anion, ending in -ide. Example: Sodium chloride for NaCl.
Ionic compounds are composed of?
a metal cation and a nonmetal anion
What are the two types of binary compounds?
Type 1 binary ionic compounds are those in which the cation has only one form, or charge. Type 2 binary ionic compounds are those in which the cation can have multiple forms.
When naming binary ionic compounds are the nonmetal is named first?
No, the metal is named first in binary ionic compounds. The name of the metal cation is followed by the name of the nonmetal anion, with the nonmetal's name ending in "-ide". For example, NaCl is named sodium chloride.
Are ionic compounds metal?
Ionic compounds are typically made up of a metal cation and a non-metal anion. The metal cation provides the positive charge, while the non-metal anion provides the negative charge. So, while not all ionic compounds contain a metal, they often do.
What are the rules in writing binary ionic compounds?
When writing binary ionic compounds, the cation (positively charged ion) is always written first, followed by the anion (negatively charged ion). The charges on the ions must balance out, so the total positive charge must equal the total negative charge. Use subscripts to indicate the ratio of each ion needed to balance the charges.
