Question

Determine the charge on each ion in the following compounds, and name the compound. Spelling counts!

Answer 1

1. Mg₃N₂: Magnesium nitride

charge Mg = +2

charge N = -3

2. Al₂S₃: Aluminum sulfide

charge Al = +3

charge S = -2

Further explanation

The naming of chemical compounds is giving a special name to a compound that aims to facilitate the classification of compounds and facilitate the identification of a compound. The rules for naming chemical compounds have been determined by the IUPAC (International Union of Pure and Applied Chemistry)

This nomenclature includes the naming of ion compounds, covalent compounds, and polyatomic

For ionic compounds consisting of cations (ions +) and anions (ions -)

The naming is preceded by the cation then the anion with the -ide suffix added

Generally for this ion compound consists of metal elements as cations and non-metals as anions

• 1. For metal and non-metal compounds

Metal: cation, positively charged.

Nonmetal: negative anion.

The anion cation's charge is crossed

Example:

Fe₂S₃

Fe charge = +3

S charge = -2

The name: metal + non-metal + -ide

Example: BaCl₂ -> Barium chloride

For transition metals, which have several oxidation charges / numbers, write the oxidation number in roman numbers

Example: SnO: lead (II) oxide

SnO₂: lead (IV) oxide

• 2. For metal and non-metal compounds

The naming: name non-metal + non-metal + suffix -ide

In the elements given the prefix mono, di, tri, tetra, penta if more than one element is formed

Example:

SO₂: Sulfur dioxide

SO₃: Sulfur trioxide

The question that needs to be completed is

Answer 2

I can't really answer his if there is no given. However, there are general rules to follow when naming ionic compounds. For example, if the given compound is written as: MgCl₂. 

There are two elements that we could find: Mg and Cl. The rule is to write the positive ion first, followed by the negative ion. The individual charges of each element is the subscript of the other. Since Cl has a subscript of 2, then Mg has a charge of +2. Since Mg has a subscript of 1, then Cl has a charge of -2.

Finally, the rule of naming the ionic compound is to name the ions individually in order, but you have to take the suffix -ide (if the charge is -1). Thus, the name of the compound is Magnesium Chloride,
