Step-by-step solution for: Writing Chemical formulas Worksheet Answer Key or Worksheets 46 Re ...
Let's solve this chemistry worksheet step by step. The task is to write the chemical formulas for the given compound names, or name the compounds based on their formulas.
We'll go through each item one by one, applying rules of ionic compound naming and formula writing:
---
1. Cations (positive ions) come first, then anions (negative ions).
2. Monatomic anions end in *-ide*.
3. Polyatomic ions have specific names (e.g., nitrate = NO₃⁻, sulfate = SO₄²⁻).
4. Transition metals with variable charges use Roman numerals to indicate oxidation state.
5. Ammonium (NH₄⁺) and hydroxide (OH⁻) are common polyatomic ions.
6. Charge balance: total positive charge must equal total negative charge.
