write formulas of ionic compounds from ionic charges and oxidation numbers (shown by a Roman numeral), including: (a) the prediction of ionic charge from the position of an element in the Periodic Table (b) recall of the names and formulas for the following ions: \(NO_3^-\), \(CO_3^{2-}\), \(SO_4^{2-}\), \(OH^-\), \(NH_4^+\), \(Zn^{2+}\), \(Ag^+\), \(HCO_3^-\), \(PO_4^{3-}\)

determine the electronic configuration of atoms and ions given the atomic or proton number and charge, using either of the following conventions: e.g. for Fe: \( 1s^2 2s^2 2p^6 3s^2 3p^6 3d^6 4s^2 \) (full electronic configuration) or \( [Ar] 3d^6 4s^2 \) (shortband electronic configuration)
