Concept explainers
Interpretation:
The metal which forms one type of ion or more than one type of ion in all the compounds is to be determined and each ionic compound is to be named accordingly.
Concept introduction:
Compounds composed of one or more cations paired with one or more anions are termed as ionic compounds.
Cations are metals and anions are non-metals.
Ionic compound is composed of a metal and a non-metal.
If the metal is transition metal, it can form more than one type of ion.
For
To name the ionic compounds that contain the metals form one type of ion, first, write the name of cation, followed by the base name of the anion with suffix –ide.
In order to name the ionic compounds that contain metals which can form more than one type of ion, first, write the name of cation followed by the charge of the cation in roman numeral in parenthesis followed by the base name of the anion with suffix -ide.
