Electronegativity and bond types• Another way to usually tell whether a bond is

ionic or covalent is with electronegativities

• Electronegativity (Page 194)– the tendency of an atom to gain electrons in a chemical bond.

• If the difference between the electronegativities is large, the bond tends to be ionic. If it is small, it tends to be covalent.

• Compounds can have both, but usually show one type more than the other chemically, usually ionic).

Naming Covalent Compound

Types of Covalent Compounds• Diatomic molecules (twins):

________________________________

________________________________

• NEVER FOUND AS SINGLE

ATOMS if “alone”

• Their names are just the name of the element

H2, N2, O2, F2, Cl2, Br2, I2

There are seven diatomic molecules

Binary Molecular Compounds ___________________________(no metals or

ions) i.e. Does not start with an H.

• Steps to name compoundsa. _________ _________ - use entire nameb. _________ _________ - change ending to –idec. Prefixes used to indicate _________ of atoms of

each p. 832• Only time that no prefix is used is if the first is

a one• Examples:

CCl4 –As2O3 –

Non-metals with no H+

Name firstName second

number

triditetrachloridecarbon

arsenic oxide

The PrefixesMono- monocle Tri- tricycle

Penta- pentagon Octa- octopusTetra- Tetris

Di-Dialogue

Acids

• Always begin with ______

• Two Types: _________ and ___________

H+

oxyacidbinary

Remember: The number of hydrogen atoms in the acid

equals the charge of the anion

Binary Acids

• Binary Acids - ______ but no _______

• Steps to name compoundsa. Use prefix - _________

b. Root of second element plus suffix - _________ followed by the word acid

• Example:

HCl -

H+ O

hydro

-ic

hydrochloric acid

Oxyacids

• – has a ________________, so most have ___

Steps to name compounds• Identify polyatomic ion p. 178

a. Use root of anion, change suffix ending and word acida. Suffix rules: ends in ate change to _________

b. ends in ite change to _________

Example:

HNO3 -

polyatomic ion

-ic

-ous

nitric acid

O

Hydrocarbons• a compound containing carbon and hydrogen

• Named using prefixes that correspond to the number of carbons in the compound.

• 1 – meth

• 2 – eth

• 3 – prop

• 4 – but

• After this it used the “normal” prefixes

Hydrocarbons• Ending refers to the type of functional

group found in the compound.

• The simplest hydrocarbon ends in -ane which means that the hydrocarbon only has single bonds and the number of hydrogen atoms equal

2(Carbon atoms)+2.
