Question

How would you write and name the ions for tin?

Answer 1

For Single Element Ions (e.g. K+ , Mg2+, P3-) To name positive (+) ions write the name as from the Periodic Table and add the word 'ion' afterwards. To name negative (-) ions write the name from the Periodic Table but replace the ending with 'ide'. Put the word 'ion' after the name.
