Question

Write the correct formulas for the following compounds. Indicate which ones are ionic compounds.

1. Compound
2. Nickel (II) acetate
3. Strontium chlorate
4. Carbon tetrafluoride
5. Mercury (11) nitride
6. Calcium hydrogen sulfite
7. Phosphorus trifluoride
8. Potassium sulfide
9. Sodium permanganate
10. Lithium phosphate
11. Sulfur dichloride

Which are ionic?

Answer 1

(Check explanation)

Step-by-step explanation:

Nickel (II) acetate:
`C_4H_6NiO_4`

Strontium chlorate:
`Sr(ClO_3)_2`

Carbon tetrafluoride:
`CF_4`

Mercury (II) nitride:
`Hg(NO_3)_2`

Calcium hydrogen sulfite:
`Ca(HSO_3)_2`

Phosphorus trifluoride:
`PF_3`

Potassium sulfide:
`K_2S`

Sodium permanganate:
`NaMnO_4`

Lithium phosphate:
`Li_3PO_4`

Sulfur dichloride:
`SCl_2`

Ionic bonds refer to a bond between a metal and a nonmetal. Therefore, these are ionic:

• Nickel (II) acetate
• Strontium chlorate
• Mercury (II) nitride
• Calcium hydrogen sulfite
• Potassium sulfide
• Sodium permanganate
• Lithium phosphate
