Salts made of a metal and a nonmetal are named this way:
[metal] [nonmetal root]-ide
Examples:
sodium + chlorine = sodium chloride
potassium + iodine = potassium iodide
Salts made from a metal or other complex cation and a nonmetal or other complex anion are named based on the cation and anion names:
-------------------------------
ammonium ion + hydroxide ion = ammonium hydroxide
sodium ion + hypochlorite ion = sodium hypochlorite
calcium ion + chloride ion = calcium chloride
The salt derived from HCl is named: chlorideEg. 'Sodium chloride' for NaCl (table salt)
Only some salts have hydrates, not all. These salts contain in the formula water of crystallization.
- salts are ionic compounds - salts are products of neutralization reactions
Some salts are shiny.
- some salts as NaCl can be melted - other salts as Na2CO3 are thermally decomposed, obtaining a metal oxide
Salts from neutralization reactions are typically named by combining the name of the cation from the base with the name of the anion from the acid. For example, sodium chloride is formed from the reaction of hydrochloric acid and sodium hydroxide.
The salts of sulfuric acid are named sulfates.
The salt derived from HCl is named: chlorideEg. 'Sodium chloride' for NaCl (table salt)
Iridium is named for the God Iris, personification of the rainbow, because of the numerous colours in its salts.
it is combination of two greek words "hallo means salts" and "gen means generate" .. experiments showed that they form salts when combine with alkali metals so they were named halogens means salt formers.
Various salts are added to the mix:Copper salts - blueStrontium salts - redSodium salts - yellowBarium salts - greenCalcium salts - orangeCobalt salts - blueCryolite - yellowLithium salts - bright red
- carbonates are salts.- oxides are...oxides not salts- hydrogencarbonates are salts
They are ionic salts.
Radioisotopes are not salts but salts may contain radioisotopes.
Examples: organic or inorganic salts, basic or acidic salts, natural or artificial salts etc.
This is a mixture of salts.
