Ionic Compounds and Their Properties

The video tutorial explains how to name the ionic compound Ca3P2. It begins by identifying Ca3P2 as a binary ionic compound, consisting of a metal (calcium) and a non-metal (phosphorus). The tutorial details the process of naming the metal and non-metal according to periodic table conventions, resulting in the name 'calcium phosphide'. It also covers the concept of ionic charges, explaining how calcium forms a 2+ ion and phosphorus forms a 3- ion, and how these charges balance to form a neutral compound.

What type of compound is formed when a metal bonds with a nonmetal?

• Ionic compound

• Organic compound

• Metallic compound
