1. selenide -2 anion b. barium barium ion +2 cation phosphide ion -3
#1 Name the ions formed by these elements and classify them
as anions or cations
a. selenium
selenide -2
anion
b. barium
barium ion +2
cation
phosphide ion -3
anion
c. phosphorus

2. #2How many electrons were lost or gained
to form these ions?
a. Fe3+
3 lost
2 gained
b. O2-
1 lost
c. Cu+

3. Group A elements 1 8 2 3 4 5 6 7 The charge on the group A metals
#3Key concept: Explain how the charges of Group A metal
and nonmetal ions are related to their positions in the
periodic table.
Group A elements 1 8 2 3 4 5 6 7
The charge on
the group A metals
is just the group
number. The charge
on the non-metals
is the group number
minus 8

4. 4 Key concept: How are the charges of some
transition metal ions determined?
By how many electrons they lose. This can
sometimes be more than one number for a
given transition metal.(example Cr2+ and Cr3+)

5. -ite or -ate examples: 5 Key concept: What are the usual endings
for the names of polyatomic ions?
-ite or -ate
examples:

6. #6 What are the charges on ions of
Group 1A, Group 3A(aluminum), and
Group 5A?

8. anions have only one atom
#7 How does a polyatomic anion differ
from a monatomic anion? -1 -2
Chloride Cl-1 -2
polyatomic anions
have more than one
atom, monatomic
anions have only one atom
Oxide O-2 -1
Carbonate CO3-2
Nitrite NO2-1 -1 -1 -1
Hydroxide OH-1
Nitrate NO3-1
Hydrogen sulfate HSO4-1

10. #8 Write the symbol for the ion of each
element. Classify the ion as an anion or
