Ionic Nomenclature Worksheet #2
KEY

Write the correct formula. Remember, if the compound is ionic, you MUST include charges in the written formula.

Ammonium carbonate (NH41+)2CO32-

Iron (III) hydroxide Fe3+(OH1-)3

Copper (I) nitrate Cu1+NO31-

Lithium phosphate  Li1+3PO43-

Aluminum phosphate Al3+PO43-

Barium acetate Ba2+(C2H3O21-)2

Mercury (I) chromate Hg1+2CrO42-

Lead (II) nitrite Pb2+(NO21-)2

Sodium sulfite Na1+2SO32-

Cobalt (II) phosphate Co2+3(PO43-)2

Aluminum sulfate  Al3+2(SO42-)3

Magnesium oxide Mg2+O2-

Potassium dichromate K1+2Cr2O72-

Nickel (II) chlorate Ni2+(ClO31-)2

Barium iodide Ba2+I1-2

Chromium (III) oxide Cr3+2O2-3

Silver acetate Ag1+C2H3O21-

Write the correct compound name.

K2O2 potassium peroxide (this is a tricky one....normally, you would think that the O would have a 2- charge.  BUT, as the formula is written, you know that potassium would have a 1+ charge.  So, that means that the O2 "must" be a polyatomic ion (which it is).

Al2S3 aluminum sulfide

Na3PO4   sodium phosphate

Hg(HCO3)2 mercury (II) bicarbonate

Mg3(PO4)2 magnesium phosphate

Fe(NO3)2 iron(II) nitrate

Zn(C2H3O2)2 zinc acetate (remember, zinc ALWAYS has a +2 charge)

K2CO3 potassium carbonate

MgCl2   magnesium chloride

KCl potassium chloride

BeF2 beryllium fluoride

AlPO4 aluminum phosphate

Zn(OH)2    zinc hydroxide (remember, you MUST have parentheses around multiples of a polyatomic ion)

Sr3N2 strontium nitride
