Writing Formulas and Naming Chemical Compounds There are two types of chemical compounds: –ionic compounds –covalent (molecular) compounds Ionic Compounds are composed of a cation and an anion. –cations – positively charged ion (metals) –anions – negatively charged ion (nonmetals)
Monoatomic Ions Cations –For monatomic cations, the name of the ion is the name of the element. –examples: Na + = sodium ion Mg 2+ = magnesium ion Al 3+ = aluminum ion
–Some metals are able to form more than one stable ion (polyvalent) usually transition elements example: copper forms Cu 2+ and Cu + use Roman numerals to distinguish charge copper (II) and copper (I)
Anions –Monoatomic anions are named by dropping the ending of the element and replacing with the suffix “-ide”. –examples: Cl - = chloride ion O 2- = oxide ion N 3- = nitride ion
Naming Binary Ionic Compounds The nomenclature, or naming system, or binary ionic compounds involves combining the names of the compound’s positive and negative ions. The name of the cation is given first, followed by the name of the anion: –example: Al 2 O 3 — aluminum oxide
Independent practice 1.What is the formula and name for Sodium and Oxygen? 2.What would the formula and name be for potassium and sulfur?
The Stock System of Nomenclature Some elements such as iron, form two or more cations with different charges (polyvalent). To distinguish the ions formed by such elements, scientists use the Stock system of nomenclature. The system consists of a Roman numeral placed in parentheses after the metal name to indicate an ion’s charge. –examples: Fe 2+ iron(II) – Fe 3+ iron(III)
The Stock System of Nomenclature Write the formula and give the name for the compound formed by the ions Cr 3+ and F –.
Independent Practice 1.Give the formula for Chromium (II) Fluoride. 2.What is the name of Fe 2 O 3 ?
Compounds Containing Polyatomic Ions Many common polyatomic ions are negatively charged and oxyanions— polyatomic ions that contain oxygen. Some elements can combine with oxygen to form more than one type of oxyanion. –example: nitrogen can form or. nitratenitrite The name of the ion with the greater number of oxygen atoms ends in -ate. The name of the ion with the smaller number of oxygen atoms ends in -ite.
Some elements can form more than two types of oxyanions. –example: chlorine can form,, or. In this case, an anion that has one fewer oxygen atom than the -ite anion has is given the prefix hypo-. An anion that has one more oxygen atom than the -ate anion has is given the prefix per-. hypochlorite chlorite chlorateperchlorate
Understanding Formulas for Polyatomic Ionic Compounds
