Show Answer Key & Explanations Step-by-step solution for: Ionic and Covalent Compounds: Writing Names and Formulas

▼

- Identify whether the compound is covalent (nonmetal + nonmetal) or ionic (metal + nonmetal).
- For ionic compounds: write the metal’s name first, then the nonmetal’s name with an “-ide” suffix. Use Roman numerals for transition metals with variable charges.
- For covalent compounds: use prefixes (mono-, di-, tri-, etc.) to indicate atom counts. The second element ends in “-ide.” Omit “mono-” on the first element.
- Write formulas by balancing charges (ionic) or using subscripts from prefixes (covalent).
- Ensure correct spelling and formatting of names and formulas.

Parent Tip: Review the logic above to help your child master the concept of naming ionic and covalent compounds worksheet.
