Answer 1

um..no but thanks for the 2pts.

Answer 2

As mentioned by someone else, bleach NaClO is common as is NaOH -used in drain cleaners. Depending on what you are doing, water is sometimes considered ionic, simple table salt NaCl is also an ionic compound and is used by many people as a cleaning compound. Acids, are also ionic compounds and are often found in cleaning chemicals to get rid of hard water stains and rust stains.

Answer 3

Ionic compounds are named by their constituent parts. Your neice for starters needs to know the names and symbols of the elements of the periodic table

Also certain covalent parts in the below ionic comounds need to be named accordingly and many have specific names, eg Carbonate, Sulfate, Nitrate, Hydrogen Carbonate, phosphate, ammonium, permangenate etc, your neice has to learn these, most have pattens eg ate suffix for elements attatched to oxygens

Ionic compound names need not have prefixes describing how many of each atom there are, eg magnesium chloride, only covalently bonded molecules need this eg dihydrogen sulfide.

Below is most of the names

CaCO3
Calcium Carbonate

KCL
Pottasium Chloride

FeSO4
Iron Sulfate

LiBr
Lithium Bromide

MgCL2
Magnesium Chloride

Zn3(PO4)2
Zinc Phosphate

NH4NO3
Ammonium Nitrate

AL(OH)3
Aluminium Hydroxide

CuC2H3O2


PbSO3
Lead Sulfate

NaCLO3
Sodium Chlorite

CaC2o4


Fe2O3
Iron three* oxide, as there is also iron two

(NH4)3PO4
Ammonium Phosphate

Hg2CL2


Mg(NO2)2


CuSO4
Copper Sulfate

NaHCO3
Sodium Hydrocarbonate

NiBr3
Nickel Bromide

Be(NO3)2
Berylium nitrate

ZnSO4
Zinc Sulfate

AuCL3
Aurochloride

KMnO4
Pottasium Permangenate

Answer 4

All you have to do is take the chemical symbol (each seperate one begins with a new capital letter) and then look up the element that goes with it.


An easy example is KCL. K=Pottassium and Cl=Clorine

In ionic compounds you always change the suffix of the last element to ide. So in this example the element is Pottasium Chloride.

here's another one just in case im not clear.
CuSO4
Cu=Copper
and S=Sulfur
and O=Oxygen.
Because there is a 4 on the oxygen, you change it to (4) --ide.
i dont know how to say 4 in latin. But if it is a 2, you say di--ide or a three, tri--ide or a 5, pent--ide, etc. make sense?
--=element name, just to be clear

Combine them to be CopperSulfur(4 in latin)Oxide.

Ok, ONE MORE!
NiBr3

Ni=Nickle
Br=Bromine

so, it becomes NickleTriBromide.

Does that make sense to you?

Thats how I learned it, so i hope it works for you.
Sorry if some of the spellings are wrong im just going from what i happen to remember of spelling from school. which isnt much. :) lol.

OH! haha ! tom is right :)

Answer 5

NO,NO,NO!!!!!
Binary compounds end in IDE
ie KCl Potassium Chloride
LiBr Lithium Bromine
There are no prefixes for the number of atoms in ionic compounds.

Ternary compounds use the polyatomic name
ie ....CaCO3 Calcium Carbonate
Al(OH)3 Aluminum hydroxide

Some atoms have more than 1 charge. Us the stock system to name them
FeO Iron (II) oxide
Fe2O3 Iron (III) oxide

You need a list of polyatomic ions top complete this.
Have fun

Answer 6

Ionic Compounds not as difficult as it may seem
Here are a couple of links to explain
Chemical names and formula in flash
http://www.usol.com/~jhitsman/ionic_compounds/
This link will help
naming ionic compounds also in flash
http://www.ausetute.com.au/namiform.html
both links are very good both in flash

Answer 7

CaCO3=Calcium Cabon Trioxcide
KCl=Potassium Chloride
FeSO4=Iron Sulfuroxcide???
LiBr=???
Fe2O3=Di-iron Trioxcide???
That is all I have.

Answer 8

google them... just type in the compound...
