Concept explainers
Interpretation:
The binary ionic compounds among the given options has to be identified.
Concept Introduction:
An ionic compound has two elements one is metal and another one is non-metal. The metal ion always has positive charge and the non-metal ion always has negative ion in binary compounds. Example:
The following rule can be used for the naming of binary ionic compounds.
The full name of the metallic element is given first, followed by a separate word containing the stem of the metallic element name and the suffix –ide.
For example,

- Use data in this chapter (and Chapter 2) to discuss why MgO is an ionic compound but CO is not an ionic compound.arrow_forwardThink of forming an ionic compound as three steps (this is a simplification, as with all models): (I) removing an electron from the metal; (2) adding an electron to the nonmetal; and (3) allowing the metal cation and nonmetal anion to come together. a. What is the sign of the energy change for each of these three processes? b. In general, what is the sign of the sum of the first two processes? Use examples to support your answer. c. What must be the sign of the sum of the three process d. Given your answer to part c, why do ionic bonds occur? e. Given your above explanations, why is NaCl stable but not Na2Cl? NaCl2? What about MgO compared to MgO2? Mg2O?arrow_forwardFill in the blanks with the smallest integers possible. When gallium (Z=31) reacts with sulfur to form an ionic compound, each metal atom loses ______ electrons and each nonmetal gains_____electronss. There must be _____ gallium atoms for every _____sulfur atoms in the reaction.arrow_forward
