#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, CO32–, SO42–, OH, NH4+, Zn2+ and Ag+

Note that ‘nitrate’ and ‘sulfate’ should be assumed to be NO3 and SO42–.
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.
