​Ionic Nomenclature Type 1 Discussion

Multiple Choice

What is an ionic bond?

• An ionic bond is a type of chemical bond formed through the electrostatic attraction between oppositely charged ions.
• A weak attraction between neutral molecules.
• A type of bond that occurs only in metals.
• A bond formed by sharing electrons between atoms.

Multiple Choice

What are positive ions called?

• Cations
• Anions
• Neutrons
• Electrons

Multiple Choice

What type of elements tend to form cations?

• Nonmetals
• Noble gases
• Metalloids
• Metals

Multiple Choice

How are cations formed?

• Cations are formed by the gain of protons.
• Cations are formed by the loss of electrons from an atom.
• Cations are formed by the loss of neutrons.
• Cations are formed by the addition of electrons.

Multiple Choice

What is the name of a negatively charge ion?

• Neutral Ion
• Anion
• Cation
• Proton

Multiple Choice

How are anions formed?

• Anions are formed by the fusion of atoms.
• Anions are formed by the gain of neutrons.
• Anions are formed by the loss of protons.
• Anions are formed by the gain of electrons.

Multiple Choice

What class of elements tends to form anions?

• Metals
• Noble gases
• Nonmetals
• Transition metals

Multiple Choice

In an ionic compound, how do you name the cation?

• Use the anion's name instead.
• Name the cation based on its color.
• Use the metal's name; for transition metals, include the oxidation state in Roman numerals.
• Combine the names of both cation and anion.

Multiple Choice

In a ionic compound, how do you name the anion?

• Add '-ate' for all anions
• Replace the element's name with its root and add '-ide' for simple anions; use the specific name for polyatomic anions.
• Use the element's full name without changes
• Replace the element's name with its Latin root

Multiple Choice

What is the rule for naming type 1 ionic compound? Ionic compound with fixed charges.

• Name the nonmetal first, followed by the metal with '-ate' ending.
• Combine the names of both elements without any suffix.
• Use Roman numerals to indicate the charge of the metal only.
• Name the metal first, followed by the nonmetal with '-ide' ending.

​Naming Ionic Compounds Type 1 Points to Remember

• Naming Ionic Compounds

  • Name the cation before the anion

  • cation name is the same name as the element's name

  • Anion name

    • is the root of the element with an -ide ending for a single atom anion

    • is the name of the polyatomic ion found on the polyatomic ion table

Multiple Choice

What is the formula for sodium bromide?

• NaBrO
• Na₂Br

• NaBr₂

• NaBr

Multiple Choice

What is the formula for calcium fluoride?

• CaF
• Ca₂F₃

• CaF₄

• CaF₂

Multiple Choice

What is the formula for Aluminum Oxide?

• Al₂O₃

• Al₂O₂

• AlO₃

• Al₃O₂

Multiple Choice

What is the rule for writing the formula for a type 1, fixed charge ions, ionic compound?

• The formula is written by adding the charges of the ions together.
• The formula is written by using only the cation symbol.
• The formula is written by combining the cation and anion symbols, ensuring the overall charge is neutral.
• The formula is written by reversing the symbols of the ions.

​Formula Ionic Compounds Type 1 Points to Remember

• Write the ion symbol for the cation (symbol and charge)

• Write the ion symbol for the anion (symbol and charge)

• Combine the cation and anion

  • use more than one ions if you need to make sure the total charges are nuetral (number of + is equal to the number of -)
