Naming and Charges of Compounds

The video tutorial explains how to name the compound SN, known as tin(II) oxide. It begins by identifying SN as a compound with a transition metal, tin (Sn), and a non-metal, oxygen (O). The tutorial details the process of naming the metal and non-metal according to the periodic table, modifying the non-metal's name to 'oxide.' It further explains the importance of determining the charge of the transition metal, which is +2 in this case, and how to represent it using Roman numerals in the compound's name. The final name is 'tin(II) oxide.'

What is the first step in naming the compound SnO?

• Recognize the presence of a transition metal.

• Write the chemical formula.

• Identify the non-metal in the compound.

• Determine the charge of the metal.

How is the name of the non-metal in SnO modified?

• By adding 'ite' to the end.

• By adding 'ium' to the end.

• By adding 'ide' to the end.

• By adding 'ate' to the end.

What is the charge of oxygen in the compound SnO?

• 2+

• 1-

• 2-

• 1+

Why is it necessary to use Roman numerals in the name of SnO?

• To indicate the charge of the transition metal.

• To denote the molecular weight.

• To show the charge of the non-metal.

• To indicate the number of atoms.

What is the correct name for the compound SnO?

• Tin(II) oxide
