  1. What does multivalent mean? • Some transition metals are multivalent • This means they have more than one ion form • Look at the periodic table and locate some multivalent transition metals • The most common ion is listed first • What is the most common ion for Cu? , Au? Page 172

  2. What are multivalent ions? For Example: Copper has 2 ion forms Can be a 1+ or 2+ ion Copper I Chloride Copper II Chloride

  3. Writing names for multivalent ions • We need to distinguish between the two or three different ion forms • Use roman numerals from I – VII which corresponds to 1+ - 7+ ion charges • For example: • Nickel can have two ion forms, Ni2+ and Ni3+ • These are named nickel (II) and Nickel (III) Metal Ion charge Roman Numeral 1+ I 2+ II 3+ III 4+ IV 5+ V 6+ VI 7+ VII

  4. Writing formulas for compounds containing a multivalent metal • There will only be 1 multivalent metal in a compound • It is the metal so it is first in the name (same as ionic compounds) • The roman numeral will indicate which ion form is in the compound

  5. Steps for writing formulas for multivalent compounds • Step 1: Identify each ion and its charge • Step 2: Determine the total charges needed to balance positive and negative • Step 3: Note the ratio of positive ions to negative ions • Step 4: Use subscripts to write the formula, 1’s are not shown in subscript

  6. Try the formula for titanium (IV) fluoride Ti4+ and F1- ions Total charge to balance +4 = -1-1-1-1 ratio 1 : 4 formula TiF4 189-191

  7. Lowest Common Multiple-A useful Trick Manganese (III) Sulfide Lowest common multiple for 3 and 2 is 6 Mn3+ and S2- ions Total charge to balance +3+3 = -2-2-2 ratio 2 : 3 formula Mn2S3

  8. Writing formulas for compounds that contain a multivalent metal Key Points: • The metal is always first • The metal is always the positive ion • The metal could be a multivalent metal • Go to the periodic table and check

  9. Steps for Writing formulas for compounds that contain a multivalent metal • Step 1: Identify a multivalent metal • Step 2: identify its different ion forms • Step 3: determine the ratio of ions in the formula • Step 4: what is the charge on the negative ion? • Step 5: Balance the positive and negative charges • Step 6: Write the name using roman numerals in brackets, following the positive ion to indicate which ion was used

  10. Example: FeI2 • Is there a multivalent metal? • Yes, Fe, Iron • What are its different ion forms? • 3+ and 2+ • What is the ratio of ions • 1 Fe : 2 I • What is the charge on the negative ion • I, Iodine, ion charge is 1- • but there are 2 so the total negative charge is 2- • Balance the positive and negative charges • Iron must have a 2+ charge to balance the two 1- charges from Iodine • Write the name using a roman numeral to say which ion form of Iron is present • The negative ion must drop its ending and add –ide (same as ionic compounds) • Iron (II) Iodide

  11. Try another example: PbF4 • Pb • 2+ and 4+ • Pb 1: 4 F • F’s ion charge 1- • Balance the charges • 4+ charges to balance the 4 1- charges of F • Therefore Pb must be the 4+ ion • Lead (IV) Fluoride
