What does the prefix “poly” mean? Considering that, what do you think a polyatomic ion is?
Naming Ionic Compounds with Polyatomic Ions
Complex Ionic Compounds
Polyatomic Ions: “Poly” – many/multiple/more than
one
Polyatomic ions – ions that are made up with more than one atom Examples: NO3
-1 SO4-2 MnO4
-1 C2H3O2
-1
_These are compounds that act just like an individual element
Complex Ionic Compounds Any ionic compound that contains
three or more elements.
It can ONLY occur if there is a polyatomic ion present in the compound.
This is your list, please do not lose it
Let’s Practice: Identify the compounds with
polyatomic ions:• Hint: Look for 3 or more different atoms in
the compound.
NaCl Co(CO3)2 Li2SO4
CsNO3 MgO Cr3(PO4)2
Rules for naming Complex Ionic Compounds:
1. Name the first element directly off the periodic table, IF IT IS A METAL
*Remember to identify the charge of any transition metal using roman numerals
2. Name the second element, IF IT IS A NONMETAL, by changing the ending to -ide
3. If either of the elements is a polyatomic, name it directly off the polyatomic list, replacing step 1 or 2.
Na2CO3
Sodium Carbonate
Naming Complex Ionic Compounds:
1. Name the first element directly off the periodic table, IF IT IS A METAL
*Remember to identify the charge of any transition metal using roman numerals
2. Name the second element, IF IT IS A NONMETAL, by changing the ending to -ide
3. If either of the elements is a polyatomic, name it directly off the polyatomic list, replacing step 1 or 2.
NH4ClAmmonium Chloride
Naming Complex Ionic Compounds:
When we need multiple polyatomic ions to create a neutral compound, ( ) are used around the polyatomic ion.
The subscript is placed OUTSIDE of the ( )
The polyatomic ion MUST be treated as ONE atom….it is a unit that CANNOT be separated.
Ca+2 ClO3-1
Ca(ClO3)2
Calcium Chlorate
Let’s Practice:Compound Metal (or
polyatomic)
Nonmetal (or
polyatomic)
Compound Name:
NH4ClO3
Fe(NO3)2
Mg3(PO4)2
(NH4)2O
Mn(C2H3O2)3
Al(OH)3
Rules for writing compound formulas:
1. Write out the ions for each of the elements/polyatomic present
2. Write the charge with each ion present
3. Drop the signs (+/-)4. Swap the numbers5. Simplify if necessary
Sodium PhosphateNa+1 PO4
-3
Na3PO4
Here’s another example:
1. Write out the ions for each of the elements/polyatomic present
2. Write the charge with each ion present
3. Drop the signs (+/-)4. Swap the numbers5. Simplify if necessary
Aluminum CarbonateAl+3 CO3
-2
Al2(CO3)3
Let’s Practice:Compound Name Metal (or
polyatomic) symbol and
charge
Nonmetal (or
polyatomic) symbol and
charge
Compound
Beryllium Nitrate
Chromium (II) Hydroxide
Gallium Chlorate
Ammonium Carbonate
Zirconium (III) Sulfate
