Read each question carefully and provide the correct name or formula for the given ionic compounds. Remember to consider polyatomic ions and transition metals requiring Roman numerals.
Ionic compounds are formed when electrons are transferred between atoms, creating oppositely charged ions that attract each other. This illustration shows the formation of an ionic bond.
Write the name for each of the following binary ionic compounds:
1. NaCl:
2. KBr:
3. CaCl2:
4. Al2O3:
Write the name for each of the following ionic compounds containing transition metals (remember Roman numerals):
5. FeCl3:
6. CuO:
7. Cr2O3:
Write the chemical formula for each of the following binary ionic compounds:
8. Magnesium iodide:
9. Sodium sulfide:
10. Barium phosphide:
Write the chemical formula for each of the following ionic compounds:
11. Copper(II) nitrate:
12. Ammonium chloride:
13. Iron(III) sulfate:
14. Calcium hydroxide:
15. Which of the following is the correct name for K3PO4?
Potassium phosphite
Tripotassium phosphate
Potassium phosphate
Potassium phosphorus oxide
16. Explain why Roman numerals are used when naming ionic compounds containing transition metals, but not for compounds with alkali metals or alkaline earth metals.
