2.1.2: Compounds, formulae and equations

#2.1.2a

the writing of formulae of ionic compounds from ionic charges, including:

(i) prediction of ionic charge from the position of an element in the periodic table (ii) recall of the names and formulae for the following ions: NO₃^–, CO₃^2–, SO₄^2–, OH^–, NH₄⁺, Zn²⁺ and Ag⁺

Note that ‘nitrate’ and ‘sulfate’ should be assumed to be NO₃^– and SO₄^2–. Charges on ions other than in (i) and (ii) will be provided.

#2.1.2b

construction of balanced chemical equations (including ionic equations), including state symbols, for reactions studied and for unfamiliar reactions given appropriate information.

2.1.1

Atomic structure and isotopes

2.1.3

Amount of substance
