Question

name the simple ionic compounds shown below:
cl
chemical formula
licl
mgo
al₂o₃
ba₃n₂
mgf₂
na₂s
name
lithium chloride

Explanation:

To name ionic compounds, we use the rules for naming binary ionic compounds. For \(Na_2S\), sodium (\(Na\)) has a +1 charge and sulfur (\(S\)) has a -2 charge. The name is sodium sulfide. For \(MgF_2\), magnesium (\(Mg\)) has a +2 charge and fluorine (\(F\)) has a -1 charge. The name is magnesium fluoride. For \(Ba_3N_2\), barium (\(Ba\)) has a +2 charge and nitrogen (\(N\)) has a -3 charge. The name is barium nitride. For \(Al_2O_3\), aluminum (\(Al\)) has a +3 charge and oxygen (\(O\)) has a -2 charge. The name is aluminum oxide. For \(MgO\), magnesium (\(Mg\)) has a +2 charge and oxygen (\(O\)) has a -2 charge. The name is magnesium oxide.

Answer:

Chemical Formula	Name
\(MgF_2\)	Magnesium Fluoride
\(Ba_3N_2\)	Barium Nitride
\(Al_2O_3\)	Aluminum Oxide
\(MgO\)	Magnesium Oxide
\(LiCl\)	Lithium Chloride
