Question 16

In what order do you place the cation and anion in ionic compounds?

Answer 16

Cation first, then anion

Question 17

Usually the cation in an ionic compound is referred to as the ___ (4 words).

Answer 17

Usually the cation in an ionic compound is referred to as the name of the element.

Question 18

If the anion in an ionic compound is monotomic, will have the suffix __.

Answer 18

If the anion in an ionic compound is monotomic, will have the suffix ide.

Question 19

What’s another way of writing:

Answer 19

Question 20

What is an oxidation state?

Answer 20

The oxidation state of an atom is equal to the total number of electrons which have been removed from an element (producing a positive oxidation state) or added to an element (producing a negative oxidation state) to reach its present state.

Question 21

What does it mean if there’s an element with two common oxidations states?

Answer 21

When an element has two common oxidation states, it means that the element can lose or gain electrons in different ways when it forms compounds with other elements.

This is common in elements like transition metals, which have electrons in their outermost shell as well as in a lower shell.

Question 22

If there is an element with two commom oxidation states, the lower one bears the suffix __ and the higher will be __.

Answer 22

If there is an element with two commom oxidation states, the lower one bears the suffix ous and the higher will be ic.

Question 23

For similar polyatomic ions, with different numbers of oxygen atoms in them, the one with more bears what suffix?

Answer 23

ate

Question 24

For similar polyatomic ions, with different numbers of oxygen atoms in them, the one with more less what suffix?

Answer 24

ite

Question 25

What are the general rules for naming polyatomic ions based on the number of oxygen atoms they contain?

Answer 25

When you encounter an ion with the maximum number of oxygen atoms within its family, use the "per-" prefix. Ions with one less oxygen atom than the "per-" ion typically end with "-ate." Ions with two fewer oxygen atoms than the "-ate" ion often end with "-ite." Ions with even fewer oxygen atoms may use the "hypo-" prefix along with the "-ite" suffix.

Question 26

Memorise the Oposing Slide. ## Footnote Some of them are present within the data book.

Answer 26

Question 27

If the cation is a transition metal from the d block what do we need to refer to?

Answer 27

Its oxidation state.

Question 28

How do i write the following

Answer 28

Question 29

Go from the name to the formula unit

Answer 29

Question 30

What are the prefixes for binary covalent compounds?

Answer 30

## Footnote These prefixes aren't necessary when there's only one possible combination.

Question 31

Provide 4 examples using binary covalent compounds.

Answer 31

## Footnote These prefixes aren't necessary when there's only one possible combination. - hence magnesium chloride.

Question 32

What are binary convalent compounds?

Answer 32

Convalent compounds consisting of only two elements.

Question 33

How many oxide ions are needed in iron(III) oxide?

Answer 33

3 ## Footnote The total positive charge in iron(III) oxide is 2 × +3, so 3 oxide ions each with a charge of –2 are needed to form Fe2O3.

Question 34

How many sulfate ions are needed to balance the aluminium ions in aluminium(III) sulfate?

Answer 34

3
