Determine the charge on each ion in the following compounds, and name the compound. spelling counts!

1. Mg₃N₂: Magnesium nitride

charge Mg = +2

charge N = -3

2. Al₂S₃: Aluminum sulfide

charge Al = +3

charge S = -2

The naming of chemical compounds is giving a special name to a compound that aims to facilitate the classification of compounds and facilitate the identification of a compound. The rules for naming chemical compounds have been determined by the IUPAC (International Union of Pure and Applied Chemistry)

This nomenclature includes the naming of ion compounds, covalent compounds, and polyatomic

For ionic compounds consisting of cations (ions +) and anions (ions -)

The naming is preceded by the cation then the anion with the -ide suffix added

Generally for this ion compound consists of metal elements as cations and non-metals as anions

Metal: cation, positively charged.

Nonmetal: negative anion.

The anion cation's charge is crossed

Example:

Fe₂S₃

Fe charge = +3

S charge = -2

The name: metal + non-metal + -ide

Example: BaCl₂ -> Barium chloride

For transition metals, which have several oxidation charges / numbers, write the oxidation number in roman numbers

Example: SnO: lead (II) oxide

SnO₂: lead (IV) oxide

The naming: name non-metal + non-metal + suffix -ide

In the elements given the prefix mono, di, tri, tetra, penta if more than one element is formed

Example:

SO₂: Sulfur dioxide

SO₃: Sulfur trioxide

the old alchemists made significant contributions to science even though there starting premises were off a bit. their conclusions after failure would steer them into better directions for investigation. science is no more than close observation and the initial mistakes result in rethinking and retrying experiments.
