Naming and Properties of AlBr3

The video tutorial explains how to name the compound AlBr3, which is considered an ionic compound due to the presence of a metal and a non-metal. The process involves identifying the metal (aluminum) and the non-metal (bromine) from the periodic table and replacing the ending of the non-metal with 'ide' to form 'aluminum bromide'. The video also mentions that AlBr3 can be referred to as 'aluminum tri-bromide' due to its covalent character, but 'aluminum bromide' is the more accepted name.

What type of compound is AlBr3 primarily considered?

• Covalent compound

• Organic compound

• Metallic compound

• Ionic compound

What is the term used for a compound consisting of a metal and a non-metal?

• Ternary compound

• Binary ionic compound

• Covalent compound

• Polyatomic compound

What is the first step in naming a binary ionic compound like AlBr3?

• Calculate the molar mass

• Write the name of the metal as it appears on the periodic table

• Determine the charge of the metal

• Identify the non-metal

How is the non-metal in AlBr3 named?

• By its atomic number

• By its chemical symbol

• By its name on the periodic table with an 'ide' ending

• By its molecular weight

What is the standard name for AlBr3?

• Aluminum bromine

• Aluminum bromate

• Aluminum bromite

• Aluminum bromide

Why might AlBr3 be referred to as 'aluminum tri-bromide'?

• Because it is a ternary compound

• Due to its metallic bonding

• Because it contains three bromine atoms

• Due to its high ionic character

What is the more accepted name for AlBr3?

• Aluminum bromine

• Aluminum tri-bromide
