Mixed Ionic Compounds Nomenclature

Front

What is the nomenclature rule for naming mixed ionic compounds?

Back

The nomenclature rule for naming mixed ionic compounds involves identifying the cation and anion, naming the cation first followed by the anion, and using appropriate suffixes or prefixes based on the oxidation states.

Back

Beryllium bromide.

Front

What is the difference between a binary ionic compound and a ternary ionic compound?

Back

A binary ionic compound consists of two elements, typically a metal and a non-metal, while a ternary ionic compound contains three or more elements, usually including a polyatomic ion.

Front

What is a polyatomic ion?

Back

A polyatomic ion is a charged entity composed of two or more atoms bonded together, which can be treated as a single unit in chemical reactions.

Front

How do you determine the oxidation state of an element in a compound?

Back

The oxidation state can be determined by using known oxidation states of other elements in the compound and applying the rule that the sum of oxidation states in a neutral compound must equal zero.

Front

What is the significance of using Roman numerals in naming ionic compounds?

Back

Roman numerals indicate the oxidation state of the metal cation in compounds where the metal can have multiple oxidation states.
