Ionic Compounds and Their Properties

The video tutorial explains how to name the ionic compound CaO, which consists of a metal (calcium) and a non-metal (oxygen). It details the process of naming the metal as it appears on the periodic table and modifying the non-metal's name by adding the suffix 'ide'. The tutorial also covers writing the chemical formula for calcium oxide, emphasizing the charge balance between calcium ions (2+) and oxide ions (2-).

What defines an ionic compound?

• A compound with two metals

• A compound with a metal and a non-metal

• A compound with only non-metals

• A compound with only metals

What is a binary ionic compound?

• A compound with two non-metals

• A compound with two metals

• A compound with a metal and a non-metal

• A compound with three different elements

How do you name the metal in a binary ionic compound?

• By its chemical symbol

• As it appears on the periodic table

• By its Latin name

• By adding 'ide' to its name

What suffix is added to the non-metal in a binary ionic compound?

• ate

• ide

• ite

• ium

What charge does a calcium ion typically have?

• 1+

• 2+

• 1-

• 2-

How do the charges of calcium and oxide ions affect the formula of calcium oxide?

• They add up to a positive charge

• They add up to a negative charge

• They form a neutral compound with a 1:1 ratio

• They cancel each other out
