Question
activity 3: name the ions
activity: naming ions test
complete the table by providing the correct name for each ion.
\
Identify monatomic cations
Cations are positively charged ions. For monatomic metal cations with a fixed charge, the name is simply the element name followed by the word "ion".
- \(\text{K}^+\): Potassium ion
- \(\text{Mg}^{2+}\): Magnesium ion
- \(\text{Ag}^+\): Silver ion
Identify monatomic anions
Anions are negatively charged ions. For monatomic anions, the suffix of the element name is replaced with "-ide", followed by the word "ion".
- \(\text{F}^-\): Fluoride ion
- \(\text{S}^{2-}\): Sulfide ion
- \(\text{P}^{3-}\): Phosphide ion
Identify transition metals with variable charges
Transition metals like copper can form ions with different charges. In systematic IUPAC nomenclature, Roman numerals in parentheses indicate the charge.
- \(\text{Cu}^+\): Copper(I) ion
- \(\text{Cu}^{2+}\): Copper(II) ion
Identify polyatomic ions
Polyatomic ions are groups of covalently bonded atoms with an overall charge. Their names are specific and must be memorized.
- \(\text{OH}^-\): Hydroxide ion
- \(\text{NO}_3^-\): Nitrate ion
- \(\text{SO}_4^{2-}\): Sulfate ion
- \(\text{CO}_3^{2-}\): Carbonate ion
- \(\text{NH}_4^+\): Ammonium ion
