Rate your understanding of Naming Ionic Compounds.

• 1* I am super lost, I can't work on my own.

• 2** I get some things but not others, I have a lot of questions

• 3*** I feel pretty good; I just need more practice. I could work on my own with some questions.

• 4**** I feel super Confident; I could work on my own with just a couple of questions.

The first step in naming any compound is to

• Identify the compound as Ionic or Covalent

• Determine if there is a transition metal or polyatomic ion

• Look up the symbol and charge of the chemicals

• Lasso the superscripts and make them subscripts of the opposite element

• Change the ending of the last element to ide

Which of the following is an ionic compound:

• CH4
• I2
• LiBr2
• CO

Which of the following is NOT an ionic compound:

• CaO
• NaOH
• BaCl₂
• Br₂

The 2nd step-in naming an ionic compound is to

• Identify the compound as Ionic or Covalent

• Determine if there is a transition metal or polyatomic ion

• Look up the symbol and charge of the chemicals

• Lasso the superscripts and make them subscripts of the opposite element

• Change the ending of the last element to ide

Which of the following is a transition metal

• Ca

• Fe

• As

• Br

After you find the symbols of the elements in the compound you need to

• Identify the compound as Ionic or Covalent

• Determine if there is a transition metal or polyatomic ion

• Look up the charge of the chemicals

• Lasso the superscripts and make them subscripts of the opposite element

• Change the ending of the last element to ide

Match the charge with the element.

• Cl

• +3

• Al

• +2

• S

• -2

• Mg

• -1

After you find the charge of the elements in the compound you need to

• Identify the compound as Ionic or Covalent

• Determine if there is a transition metal or polyatomic ion

• Look up the charge of the chemicals

• Lasso the superscripts and make them subscripts of the opposite element

• Change the ending of the last element to ide

Mg⁺² , P^-3

• 2

• Charge of Mg

• -3

• Charge of Phosphorus

• 3

• Correct subscript of Mg

• +2

• Correct subscript of P
