Title: Magnesium

3. Combining Capacity
  • The ability of an element to combine with other
    elements is called its combining capacity.
  • Different elements have different abilities to
    combine with other elements (see p.234 table
    11.4, 11.5)

e.g.

4. Writing Formulas
e.g. Magnesium oxide
1. Write both symbols (metal first) with
combining capacities
2
2
Mg
O
2. Criss-cross the combining capacities and
write them as subscripts
Mg O
2
2
MgO
3. Reduce if possible
(remember, the subscript 1 is never written)

Practice
Write the formula for the following compounds
a) Magnesium oxide
MgO
b) Calcium chloride
CaCl2
c) Aluminum bromide
AlBr3
d) Sodium sulphide

  • Sometimes, metal ions have more than one
    combining capacity

e.g.
Cu
1 or 2
Fe
2 or 3
The name of the compound will include a roman
numeral that tells you which combining capacity
to use
Iron II oxide
e.g.
Iron III oxide
