Interactive periodic table showing names, electrons, and oxidation states. Visualize trends, 3D orbitals, isotopes, and mix compounds. Fully descriptive writeups.
Binary ionic compounds are between a metal and nonmetal. This does not mean there are two atoms, but two types of atoms, so Al 2 S 3 is a binary ionic compound. The rules are simple, name the cation first and the anion second, giving the anion the -ide suffix. Cation (metal) first.
Carbon. Carbon is a chemical element with symbol C and atomic number 6. Classified as a nonmetal, Carbon is a solid at room temperature.
