Writing formulas for multivalent ionic compoundsWriting formulas for multivalent ionic compounds

• Transition metals have the ability to form more than one cation

• Therefore, a roman numeral is placed in the name to signify the charge on the cation

• Example:– Iron (III) Chloride

Writing formulas using polyatomic ionsWriting formulas using polyatomic ions

• The polyatomic ion is treated as one unit.

• Balance the charges• Place parenthesis around the

polyatomic ion if there is more than one• Example

– Write the formula for Iron (II) Nitrate

• Fe2+ and NO31- combines to make

Fe(NO3)2

• The polyatomic ion is treated as one unit.

• Balance the charges• Place parenthesis around the

polyatomic ion if there is more than one• Example

– Write the formula for Iron (II) Nitrate

Naming using Polyatomic ionsNaming using Polyatomic ions

• Name the metal than name the polyatomic ion. If you need a roman numeral; include it.

• Treat the polyatomic ion as one unit (as if it were one atom)

• Example - Name CuSO4

• Copper (II) Sulfate

• Name the metal than name the polyatomic ion. If you need a roman numeral; include it.

• Treat the polyatomic ion as one unit (as if it were one atom)

• Example - Name CuSO4

• Copper (II) Sulfate

Exceptions for roman numeralsExceptions for roman numerals

• Silver, Cadmium and Zinc do not get roman numerals.

• Ag is always +1, Cadmium and Zinc are always +2

Naming AcidsNaming Acids

• Memorize• HCl - Hydrochloric Acid• H2SO4 - Sulfuric Acid• HNO3- Nitric Acid• H3PO4 - Phosphoric Acid• Note - Acids give off H1+ (Hydrogen ions)

and bases give off OH1- ions• What do you get when an acid and base

combine?
