Type I Binary Ionic Compounds

Type I binary ionic compounds contain a metal and a nonmetal AND the metal that is present only forms one type of cation. Metals with only one cation (shaded below with charges). Both the metal and the nonmetal form ions, which is why it is called an ionic compound.

1) From the following list, cross out those compounds that do NOT belong in the category for Type I binary ionic compounds.

NaCl FeCl2 CaCl2 TiO2 MgO AlBr3 KCl K2S BeF2 Cu2O3 AgCl Zn3N2

Formula and name examples for Type I binary ionic compounds:

KI = potassium iodide BaO = barium oxide ZnF2 = zinc fluoride Na2S = sodium sulfide

Ag3N = silver nitride BeCl2 = beryllium chloride

2) What type of element is always listed first (metal or nonmetal)? ____________ second? ___________

3) Is the name of the first element in the compound different from the element? (yes/no)

4) What is the common ending for all the names? ______________

5) In zinc fluoride, there are 2 fluoride atoms, are they indicated in the name? (yes/no)

6) What is the charge on the zinc ion? _______

7) What is the charge on the fluoride ion? _______

8) Why do you need one zinc ion and two fluoride ions for the formula for zinc fluoride?

9) Why do you need two sodium ions for every sulfide ion in sodium sulfide?

10) As a team, determine the rules for naming type I binary ionic compound when given the formula.

11) As a team, determine the rules for writing the formula for a type I binary compound when given the name.

12) Name each of the type I binary ionic compounds listed in question 1.

Type II Binary Ionic Compounds

Type II binary ionic compounds also contain a metal and a nonmetal however the metal that is present here can form more than one type of cation. Metals with multiple possible charges are listed in the periodic table as blank. Type II metals are NOT Type I metals. Again, both the metal and the nonmetal form ions, and it is still called an ionic compound. These metals usually only form two different ions.

1) From the following list, cross out those compounds that do NOT belong in the category for Type II binary ionic compounds.

AlP FeCl2 Ag2O VBr5 CoS SnF2 K3N SrF2 CuBr AuCl3 ZnO HgS

Formula and name examples for Type II binary ionic compounds:

Fe2O3 = iron(III) oxide or ferric oxide FeO = iron(II) oxide or ferrous oxide

CuS = copper(II) sulfide or cupric sulfide CuCl = copper(I) chloride or cuprous chloride

MnO2 = manganese(IV) oxide or manganic oxide MnCl2 = manganese(II) chloride or manganous chloride

2) What type of element is always listed first (metal or nonmetal)? ____________ second? ___________

3) Is the name of the first element in the compound different from the element? (yes/no)

4) What is the common ending for the nonmetal portion of the names? ______________

5) In the compound FeO, what is the charge on iron? _______

6) In the compound Fe2O3, what is the charge on iron? ________

7) What does the Roman number after the metal name represent?

8) When the metal name ends in –ic, to what ion does it refer? (higher charge/lower charge)

9) When the metal name ends in –ous, to what ion does it refer? (higher charge/lower charge)

10) As a team, determine the rules for naming type II binary ionic compound when given the formula.

11) As a team, determine the rules for writing the formula for a type II binary compound when given the name.

12) Name each of the type II binary ionic compounds listed in Question 1 of Type II section.

Type III Binary Compounds

Binary compounds that do not contain metals have covalent bonds instead of ionic bonds. A covalent bond is formed by sharing one or more pairs of electrons. The pair of electrons is shared by both atoms. For example, in forming H2, each hydrogen atom contributes one electron to the single bond.

1) From the following list, cross out those compounds that do NOT belong in the category for binary compounds containing only nonmetals or metalloids.

CCl4 AlCl3 CO SeF6 SiO2 SrI2 P4O10 TiO2 SeO3 IrCl ZrO2 N2O5

image2.pngFormula and name examples for Type III binary ionic compounds:

CO2​ = carbon dioxide H2O = dihydrogen monoxide

IF5 = iodine pentafluoride BF3 = boron trifluoride

2) Which element is listed first in the name?

3) Is the name of the first element in the compound different from the element? (yes/no)

4) What is the common ending for all the names? ______________

5) What do the prefixes (di-, mono-, penta-, tri-) in the names above mean?

6) Is the prefix mono- used when there is only one atom of the first element? (yes/no) Is the prefix mono- used when there is one atom of the second element? (yes/no)

7) As a team, determine the rules for naming type III binary ionic compound when given the formula.

8) Name each of the type III binary compounds listed above.

Compounds Containing Polyatomic Ions

Polyatomic ions are ions that as a group have a set charge. Polyatomic ions are usually recognized in a formula by the grouping of more than one nonmetal elements after a metal. Your book has a table listing polyatomic ions. Use your book’s table to fill in the following table with the appropriate names/formulas of the polyatomic ions.

Check your work:

Were the polyatomic ions correctly identified for the above table? Remember when you have parentheses, you must identify the polyatomic ions by looking inside the parentheses and the numbers outside the parentheses just indicate how many of that polyatomic ion you have.

Are the compound formulas you filled into the table above neutral in charge?

Do all type II metals in the table above have their charge indicated by either a Roman numeral or their Latin name with an –ous or –ic ending?

Are all type I metals listed without a Roman numeral?
