When naming an ionic compound, write the name of the cation, which is the metal first. Then, write the name of the anion, which is the nonmetal. However, you remove the last 2-3 letters and replace suffixes.
1. RbF --> Rubidium Fluoride
Change fluorine to fluoride
2. CuO --> Copper (II) Oxide
Change oxygen to oxide. Oxide has a charge of -2. Since no subscripts are written, it means they have the same opposite charge. So, we use Copper (II).
<span>3. (NH</span>₄<span>)</span>₂<span>C</span>₂<span>O</span>₄ ---> Ammonium Oxalate
NH₄ is ammonia, but we change it to ammonium for polyatomic ions.
Compounds are classified according to the elements that make them up. For example, oxides contain one or more oxygen atoms, hydrides contain one or more hydrogen atoms.
compounds form different types of bonds too. a metal and nonmetal element will create an ionic bond, two nonmetal elements create covalent bonds
