Naming Salts

elements magnesium phosphorus Zinc carbon Silver hydrogen formula Mg3P2 ZnC2 AgH name magnesium phosphide The element magnesium is an Alkaline Earth Metal, which loses two electrons (2+) and phosphorus is in Group V, which gains three electrons (3-). It will have the ending "ide". zinc carbide The element zinc is a transition metal, with only one stable ionic state. Carbon is in Group IV, which gains four electrons. silver hydride The element silver is a transition metal, with only one stable ionic state. Hydrogen will gain one electron when reacting with a metal. It will be named "hydride".

Explanation / Answer

1. Magnesium phosphide (Mg3P2) exists as 2Mg+2 and 2P3-

2. Zinc Carbide (ZnC- zinc methanide) and ZnC2 - zinc acetalide. Exists as Zn+2 and C2- and C4-

3. Silver hydride - AgH exists as Ag+ and H-.
