For the following formula work out the IUPAC name.
Important Questions on Models
How is metallic bonding different to ionic and covalent bonding?
Why are metals malleable and ionic compounds brittle?
Metals are versatile materials that can be hammered into different shapes and drawn into wire. How are these properties different to those of ionic compounds?
Metals are known to be excellent conductors of electricity. Explain the features of metallic bonding that enable metals to conduct an electric current.
Copper is often used as a conductive material in electronics, power generation and distribution, and circuitry. How does the presence of impurities in copper affect its ability to conduct electricity?
Ions formed by metals and non-metals are held together by an electrostatic attraction of unlike charges. Determine the number of valence electrons and the charge formed on each of these elements: sodium (group 1) calcium (group 2) aluminium (group 13) nitrogen (group 15) oxygen (group 16) bromine (group 17).
Explain how the metallic and non-metallic ions from the following groups can combine to form ionic compounds. :
Sodium (group 1) calcium (group 2) aluminium (group 13) nitrogen (group 15) oxygen (group 16) bromine (group 17).
Sodium (group 1) calcium (group 2) aluminium (group 13) nitrogen (group 15) oxygen (group 16) bromine (group 17).
Using the elements given in above, construct formula and give the name of the ions and the resulting ionic compound from the following combinations:
Group 1 and group 17
