Polyatomic Ions & Multivalent Metals - NOTES
• Multivalent metals!
• Some metals have more than one charge…these are known as multivalent metals!
• Writing formulas with multivalent metals stay the same but it’s different when naming them!
1. Metal comes first followed by the ion charge bracketed in roman numerals
2. Non-metal come second – OR – polyatomic ion
3. Change ending to ide if non-metal
4. Examples: cobalt (III) oxide – Co2O3, lead (IV) fluoride – PbF4
• Roman numerals
Metal Ion Charge Roman Numeral
1+ I
2+ II
3+ III
4+ IV
5+ V
6+ VI
7+ VII
