Ionic Names and Formulas Practice

Master ionic compound names and formulas with this practice worksheet. Essential for high school chemistry!

Sort the names into the categories. Transition Metal and Representative Nonmetal Fe2O3 Nickel (I) Bromide CrF3 Zinc (II) Sulfide Transition Metal and Polyatomic Ion Manganese (II) Hydroxide Silver (I) Phosphate PtSO4 Zn(NO3)2 Representative Metal and Representative Nonmetal KBr CaF2 Strontium Nitride Lithium Sulfide Representative Metal and Polyatomic Ion Magnesium Perchlorate Potassium Cyanide KNO3 KMnO4 Which of the following would be a sulfide ion? S S2- SO42- SO32- Which of the following would be a sulfate ion? S S2- SO42- SO32- The name for the bond between nickel and chlorine would be "nickel chloride". True False Write the name for the formula listed. If you'd like it counted completely correct, write them as follows "iron (II) fluoride" and "potassium carbonate". CaCO3 Calcium Carbonate NH4NO3 Ammonium Nitrate FeCl3 Iron (III) Chloride Fe2O3 Iron (III) Oxide PbSO3 Lead (II) Sulfite Al(OH)3 Aluminum Hydroxide LiBr Lithium Bromide MgCl2 Magnesium Chloride Be(NO3)2 Beryllium Nitrate Zn3(PO4)2 Zinc (II) Phosphate NaHSO4 Sodium Hydrogen Sulfate Cu(CN)3 Copper (III) Cyanide Write the formula for each name. To put in subscripts, type in the number then highlight and click the x2button. I would suggest typing in the whole formula then highlighting each number. Gold (III) Iodide AuI3 Potassium Sulfide K2S Iron (III) Carbonate­­­­­­­ Fe2(CO3)3 Strontium Phosphide Sr3P2 Calcium Hydrogen Carbonate­­­­­­­­ Ca(HCO3)2 Ammonium phosphate (NH4)3PO4 Zinc (II) Cyanide Zn(CN)2 Strontium Acetate Sr(C2H3O2)2 Lithium Iodide LiI Tin (II) Hydroxide Sn(OH)2 Magnesium Permanganate Mg(MnO4)2 Copper (I) Sulfite Cu2SO3
