Naming Compounds
In the following exercises you will be given chemical formulas. Name the compound. For example,
Na2CO3 is Sodium Carbonate and NaHCO3 is Sodium Hydrogen Carbonate.
Writing Formulas
Part I
Build a correctly written chemical formula from the two ions given. Write the name of the
compound, too. For example, Ca2+ and F- => CaF2 Calcium Fluoride and NH4+ and SO42- =>
(NH4)2SO4 Ammonium Sulfate.
In the following exercises you will be given names of compounds. Write the formula. For example,
Potassium Bromide is KBr and iron(III) oxide is Fe2O3
Part III
(a) Write the ionic form of each of the following elements, showing the charge you would expect it
to have based on its location in the periodic table. (b) Then build a compound from those ions,
writing a chemical formula. Also, (c) write the name of the compound. Remember, the total
positive and negative charges must be equal so that the compound is neutrally charged.
Part IV
Part V
Write balanced equations for the following word equations.
