Question

As a team, determine the rules for naming binary ionic compounds that have a "special" transition metal in it when given the formula.

Answer 1

Answer:

Metal name (charge in roman numerals) Non metal

for example Iron (III) chloride

Explanation:

The rule for naming special transition metal are as follows -

a) First name the transition metal

b) Now write the name of the non metal in the chemical formula.

c) Write the charge for the non metal.

d) If there is a polyatomic ion, write the Common Ion Table ,its formula and charge.

e) Based on the total charge on the non-metal or polyatomic ion, deduce the total charge on the transition metal

f) Write the charge of transition metal after the name of metal in Roman Numeral in parentheses
