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

What is the name of this compound?

NaCl

Fill in the Blank

What is the name of this compound?

CaO

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 -)
