Naming Binary Ionic Compounds

Naming Binary Ionic Compounds

Carefully read each question and provide the correct name or formula for the binary ionic compounds. Pay close attention to the rules for naming compounds with transition metals.

Review the illustration below which depicts the formation of an ionic bond, a fundamental concept in understanding binary ionic compounds.

Give the systematic name for each of the following binary ionic compounds:

1. KCl:  

2. MgS:  

3. Fe₂O₃:  

4. CuCl₂:  

5. AlN:  

Write the correct chemical formula for each of the following binary ionic compounds:

1. Sodium iodide:  

2. Calcium bromide:  

3. Lead(IV) oxide:  

4. Chromium(III) sulfide:  

5. Zinc phosphide:  

1. What is the correct name for the compound CuO?

2. Which of the following is the correct formula for Aluminum sulfide?

Indicate whether the following statements are True or False:

1. In naming binary ionic compounds, the anion always takes on an '-ide' suffix.

2. Transition metals usually have only one possible charge, making their naming straightforward.

1. Explain why Roman numerals are used when naming some binary ionic compounds but not others. Provide an example.
