describe, and write equations for, the reactions of the elements with oxygen (to give Na₂O, MgO, Al₂O₃, P₄O₁₀, SO₂), chlorine (to give NaCl, MgCl₂, AlCl₃, SiCl₄, PCl₆) and water (Na and Mg only)
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: \(NO_3^-\), \(CO_3^{2-}\), \(SO_4^{2-}\), \(OH^-\), \(NH_4^+\), \(Zn^{2+}\), \(Ag^+\), \(HCO_3^-\), \(PO_4^{3-}\)
