Chapters 8 & 9Naming Compounds

Writing Formulas

Compounds Follow the Law of Definite Proportion. Have a constant composition. Have to add the same number of atoms

every time. Two types.

Two Types of Compounds1 Ionic Compounds Made of cations and anions. Metals and nonmetals. The electrons lost by the cation are

gained by the anion. The cation and anions surround each

other. Smallest piece is a FORMULA UNIT.

Crystalline Structure – Ionic Compound

Two Types of Compounds2 Molecular Compounds

Made of molecules. Made by joining nonmetal atoms

together into molecules. H2O, CO2, C6H12O6

atoms in the smallest piece of a substance.

Systematic Naming There are too many compounds to

remember the names of them all. Compound is made of two or more

elements. Put together atoms. Name should tell us how many and

what type of atoms.

Naming Ions We will use the systematic way. Cation- if the charge (oxidation #) is

always the same, use name of the metal.

Transition metals can have more than one charge or oxidation number.

Therefore, indicate the charge with roman numerals in parenthesis.

Fe+3 is named - iron (III) ion Movie

Exceptions: Some of the transition metals have

only one ionic charge:

–Do not use roman numerals for these:

–Silver is always 1+ (Ag1+)

–Cadmium and Zinc are always 2+ (Cd2+ and Zn2+)

Metals with Multiple ChargesTransition MetalsTransition Metals

Here it is easier to list the ones that only have a single common oxidation state.

All Group 3B - 3+

Ni, Zn, Cd - 2+

Ag - 1+

Lanthanides and actinides - 3+

Ionic Compounds

We’ve named the ions, so now it is time to name the

compounds!

Naming Binary Ionic Compounds Binary Compounds - 2 elements. Ionic - a cation and an anion. To write the names just name the two

ions. Easy with Representative elements. NaCl = Na+ Cl- = sodium chloride

MgBr2 = Mg+2 Br- = magnesium bromide

Naming Binary Ionic Compounds The problem comes with the transition

metals. Need to figure out their charges. The compound must be neutral. Same number of + and – charges. Use the anion to determine the charge

on the positive ion.

Balancing Charges

3P2ZnHow many zinc +2 charges are needed to balance phosphide’s -3 charge?

What subscripts must be placed on the line?

The numbers used must always be whole numbers.

23PZn

Naming Ionic CompoundsMany metals form more than one compound with

some anions.

For these, roman numerals are used in the name to indicate the charge on the metal.

Cu1+ + O2- = Cu2O

copper(I) oxide copper(I) oxide

Cu2+ + O2- = CuO

copper(II) oxide copper(II) oxide

More ExamplesFeCl2 iron(II) chloride

FeCl3 iron(III) chloride

SnS tin(II) sulfide

SnS2 tin(IV) sulfide

AgCl silver chlorideCdS cadmium sulfideNoteNote

Some transition metals only have a single state so the roman numeral may be omitted.

Some main group metals, with high atomic numberhave more than one state, roman numbers are used.

Naming Binary Ionic Compounds Write the name of CuO Need the charge of Cu O is -2 Copper must be +2 Copper (II) oxide Name CoCl3

Cl is -1 and there are three of them = -3 Co must be +3 Cobalt (III) chloride

Naming Binary Ionic Compounds Write the name of Cu2S. Since S is -2, the Cu2 must be +2, so

each one is +1. copper (I) sulfide Fe2O3 Each O is -2 3 x -2 = -6 2 Fe must = +6, so each is +3. iron (III) oxide

Writing Formulas The charges have to add up to zero. Get charges on pieces. Cations from name of table. Anions from table or polyatomic. Balance the charges by adding

subscripts. Put polyatomics in parenthesis.

Writing Formulas Write the formula for calcium chloride. Calcium is Ca+2 Chloride is Cl-1 Ca+2 Cl-1 would have a +1 charge. Need another Cl-1 Ca+2 Cl2

Things To Look For If cations have (roman #), the number is

their charge. If anions end in -ide they are probably

off the periodic table (Monoatomic) If anion ends in -ate or -ite it is

polyatomic

Molecular Compounds

Writing Names and Formulas

Molecular Compounds made of just nonmetals smallest piece is a molecule can’t be held together because of

opposite charges can’t use charges to figure out how

many of each atom

Easier Ionic compounds use charges to

determine how many of each.

– Have to figure out charges.

– Have to figure out numbers. Molecular compounds name tells you

the number of atoms. Uses prefixes to tell you the number

Prefixes 1 mono- 2 di- 3 tri- 4 tetra- 5 penta- 6 hexa- 7 hepta- 8 octa-

Prefixes 9 nona- 10 deca- To write the name write two words

To write the name, write two words with

One exception is we don’t write mono- if there is only one of the first element.

Helpful to remember...1. In an ionic compound, the net ionic

charge is zero (criss-cross method)

2. An -ide ending generally indicates a binary compound

3. An -ite or -ate ending means there is a polyatomic ion that has oxygen

4. Prefixes generally mean molecular; they show the number of each atom

Helpful to remember...5. A Roman numeral after the name of

a cation shows the ionic charge of the cation.

Acids

Writing Names and Formulas

Acids Compounds that give off hydrogen ions

when dissolved in water. Must have H in them. Will always be an H next to an anion. The anion determines the name.

Typical Acids and Bases

Acid

HCl HNO3 H2SO4 H3PO4

Base

NaOH KOH Ba(OH)2

Al(OH)3

Naming Acids If the anion attached to hydrogen ends

in -ide, use the prefix hydro- and change -ide to -ic acid

HCl - hydrogen ion and chloride ion hydrochloric acid H2S hydrogen ion and sulfide ion hydrosulfuric acid

Naming Acids If the anion has oxygen in it, no hydro It ends in -ate or -ite Change the suffix -ate to -ic acid HNO3 Hydrogen and nitrate ions

Nitric acid Change the suffix -ite to -ous acid HNO2 Hydrogen and nitrite ions

Nitrous acid

Oxyanion and Oxyacids An ion with oxygen in it is called an

oxyanion. An acid with an oxyanion in it is called

an oxyacid.
