Ionic Compounds and Their Properties

The video tutorial explains how to name and write the formula for the ionic compound barium oxide (BaO). It begins by identifying BaO as a binary ionic compound, consisting of a metal (barium) and a non-metal (oxygen). The tutorial outlines the steps to name the compound: first, write the name of the metal as it appears on the periodic table, then write the name of the non-metal with an 'ide' suffix. The video also covers how to write the formula by balancing the ionic charges of barium (2+) and oxygen (2-), resulting in a neutral compound. The tutorial concludes with a summary of the naming and formula process.

What type of compound is formed when a metal bonds with a non-metal?

• Organic compound

• Covalent compound

• Ionic compound

• Metallic compound

What is the first step in naming a binary ionic compound?

• Determine the charge of the non-metal

• Determine the charge of the metal

• Write the name of the metal

• Write the name of the non-metal

How is the name of the non-metal modified in a binary ionic compound?

• Add 'ite' to the end

• Add 'ate' to the end

• Replace the ending with 'ide'

• Keep the name unchanged

What is the name of the compound BaO?

• Barium oxide

• Barium dioxide

• Barium monoxide

• Barium peroxide

What charge does barium typically have when it forms an ion?

• 2+

• 1+

• 2-

• 1-

What charge does oxygen typically have when it forms an ion?

• 2-

• 1-

• 1+

• 2+

Why do barium and oxygen form a neutral compound?

• They do not form a neutral compound

• Their charges cancel each other out

• They both have positive charges

• They both have negative charges
