Naming Compounds

Question 1

Ionic Bonds Naming

Two elements

Answer 1

metal + non-metal -> metal non-metal-ide

Question 2

Ionic Bonds Naming

Three+ elements

Answer 2

metal + non-metal + non-metal -> metal (find name of polyatomic ion)

A polyatomic ion is the part of a compound that is multiple non-metals

Question 3

Covalent Bonds Naming

Answer 3

The first element in the symbol is first part of the name. The second element (or group of elements) is second part.
Depends on number of atoms present in each element

i.e. SO2 is sulpher dioxide

Question 4

Common properties of Ionic compounds

Answer 4

• High melting points.
• High boiling points.
• A crystal lattice structure. (Solids break easily into sheets)
• Solids do not conduct electricity and are good insulators

Question 5

Common properties of Covalent compounds

Answer 5

• Low boiling/melting points
• Solids are soft and flexible
• Do not conduct electricity (good insulators)

Question 6

Common properties of Metallic compounds.

Answer 6

• High melting/boiling points
• Good conductors
• Malleable
• Shiny
