    The document provides instructions for naming binary ionic compounds and writing their chemical formulas. It defines what a binary ionic compound is composed of and gives naming rules. The metal element name is used for the cation and the nonmetal element name plus "ide" is used for the anion. Examples of applying the naming rules are given. The document also provides rules for writing chemical formulas, such as identifying cation and anion symbols and charges and balancing the charges to write the formula. Practice problems are given to apply the naming and formula writing rules.

    Naming/Writing Binary Ionic Compounds Name

    Ionic compounds are formed when a metal combines with a


    nonmetal. When the two ions combine to form the simplest
    combination that they can make that will fulfill their desired energy
    levels. For example, when given Potassium ions (K+) and Bromide
    ions (Br–), the atoms will combine into the compound KBr. This is
    known as the Empirical formula. The atoms of a metal and
    nonmetal will NEVER combine to form things other than the
    simplest combination. Thus, in this example, K2Br2 does not exist.

    A binary ionic compound is composed of ions of two different elements - one of which is a metal, and the
    other a nonmetal. For example, sodium iodide, NaI, is composed of sodium ions, Na + (elemental sodium is a
    metal), and iodide ions, I- (elemental iodine is a nonmetal).
    Rules: 1. The Cation (positive ion) is named first, the Anion second.
    2. Cations take the element name
    ex: Na+ --> Sodium Ca2+ --> Calcium
    3. Anions take the elements name and ends with "-ide" ex: Cl - --> Chloride
    NaCl --> Sodium Chloride Li3N --> Lithium Nitride
    Directions: Write the name of each binary ionic compound given below.

    1. KBr 9. MgO

    2. MgF2 10. Na2S

    3. BeCl2 11. Sr3N2

    4. LiF 12. CsCl

    5. Ca3P2 13. ZnI2

    6. BaS 14. AlP

    7. Cs3N 15. Sr3As2

    8. MgSe 16. Rb3P

    Directions: Write the balanced chemical formula for each compound

    Rules: 1. Identify the symbols of the cation and anion ex. sodium sulfide–sodium is Na and sulfide is S
    2. Identify the charge for each and place above the symbol; Na+ and S2-
    Cations (Positive Ions)
    All Group 1 elements in the Periodic Table are 1+ in compounds.
    All Group 2 elements in the Periodic Table are 2+ in compounds.
    Transition elements (have a few charges) will learn this tomorrow
    Silver is 1+, Zinc is 2+ and Aluminum is 3+
    Anions  (Negative Ions): Group 17 are 1-  Group 16 are 2-  Group 15 are 3-  
    3. Balance the positive and negative charges
    Since each sodium is 1+ and each chloride is 2- then it will take two Na + to balance one sulfide
    with a 2- so that  the charges when added together equal zero : 2(1+) + 1(2-) = 0. The numbers
    outside the parenthesis become the subscripts in the formula.
    Note, you may just crisscross the charges. Na+ S2-
    4. Write the formula placing the subscripts right after the symbol they go with. Na2S

    Directions: Write the balanced chemical formula for each compound.


    1. barium chloride 8. rubidium oxide

    2. beryllium nitride 9. strontium oxide

    3. potassium iodide 10. cesium nitride

    4. lithium fluoride 11. potassium phosphide

    5. magnesium arsenide 12. magnesium selenide

    6. sodium phosphide 13. calcium bromide

    7. aluminum sulfide 14. Sodium chloride
