Binary Ionic Compounds with Multivalent Metals

Some metals can form more than one type of ion.

•

Such metals are called multivalent metals.

•

For example, copper can form ions with a 1+ or 2+ charge, as shown on your

•

periodic chart of ions.

Question: Name some other multivalent metals besides copper.

_____________________________________________________

Question: Where on the periodic table do you find these multivalent

metals? ________________________________________________

______________________________________________________

To distinguish between the ions, a Roman numeral is

•

written after the name of the metal.

For example, Cu+ is written as copper (I), pronounced

•

“copper one.”

is written as copper (II), pronounced “copper two.”

•

Chemical Formulas and Names of Ionic Compounds Containing

Multivalent Metals

To write the chemical formula of a multivalent metal, follow the

•

same process as for the binary ionic compounds you have been

naming so far.

The only difference is that you cannot tell the charge on the metal

•

ion by looking at the periodic table because there will be more

than one choice. Instead, look at the Roman numeral in the name,

which will tell you the charge.

Question: What are the Roman numerals for 8, 9 and 10? _________________
