Question

To name a variable charge monatomic cation:

–list the element name followed by a Roman numeral to represent the ion charge

–drop the ending of the element name and replace it with the suffix "-ide"

–list the element name followed by the word "ion"

–add the prefix "hyper" and the suffix "-ate" to the element name

Answer 1

What do you think?

Roman numerals are for ionics that has more than one possible charge., Cobalt(II)ion for example.
-ide suffix is for anions, not cations, like fluoride, \(F^{-}\), bromide \(Br^{-}\)

Answer 2

Suffix -ate is for polyatomic ions, like Borate, \(BO_3^{3-}\), carbonate \(CO_3^{2-}\)

Answer 3

So its –list the element name followed by a Roman numeral to represent the ion charge?

Answer 4

Yep because the Roman numeral shows what charge the monatomic cation has.

Answer 5

Ok thanks!
