In this item, we are simply to find the ions that may bond and are able to form a formula unit. We are also instructed to give out their name. There are numerous possible combinations of ions to form a compound. Some answers are given in the list below.
1. Na⁺ , Cl⁻ , NaCl ---> sodium chloride (this is most commonly known as table salt)
2. C⁴⁺ , O²⁻ , CO₂ ---> carbon dioxide
3. Al³+ , Cl⁻ , AlCl₃ ----> aluminum chloride
4. Ca²⁺ , Cl⁻ , CaCl₂ ---> calcium chloride
5. Li⁺ , Br⁻ , LiBr ---> lithium bromide
6. Mg³⁺ , O²⁻ , Mg₂O₃ ----> magnesium oxide
7. K⁺ , I⁻ , KI ---> potassium iodide
8. H⁺ , Cl⁻ , HCl --> hydrogen chloride
9. H⁺ , Br⁻ , HBr ----> hydrogen bromide
10. Na⁺ , Br⁻ , NaBr ---> sodium bromide
Covalent
bonds = sharing of electrons between two atoms of the same elements or elements
close to each other on the periodic table. Usually they are metals sometimes
non-metals. In polar bonds electrons are
shared unequally. Non polar bonds share electrons equally.
