Ionic compoundsIonic compounds are:1. Made up of

oppositely charged ions held together strongly in well-organized units.

2. Hard solids at room temperature and are difficult to melt. Look at the structure of magnesium oxide.

The smallest part of compounds Molecule: the smallest unit of

the compound in a covalent compound.

Formula unit The simplest ratio of ions in a compound.

Binary Ionic Compounds

You will learn how to name and write formulas for ionic

compounds.Binary compound: a

compound that contains only two elements.

Ex: Sodium chloride (NaCl), potassium iodide (KI) and (CaF2) calcium florid (contain more than one ion of each element)

 

Predicting Charge on Ions

Metals have few outer-level electrons so they tend to lose them and become positive ions.

Sodium must lose just one electron, becoming a Na+ ion.

Calcium must lose two electrons, becoming a Ca2+ ion.

The charge on the ion is known as the oxidation number of the atom.

The oxidation numbers for many elements in the main groups are arranged by group number.

Predicting Charge on Ions

Oxidation numbers for elements in Groups 3 through 12, the transition elements, cannot be predicted by group number.

Aluminum is in Group 13, so it loses its three outer electrons to become an Al3+ ion; oxygen is in Group 16 and has six valence electrons, so it gains two electrons to become an O2– ion.

How to name a binary ionic compoundTo name a binary ionic compound,

first write the name of the positively charged ion, usually a metal, and then add the name of the nonmetal or negatively charged ion, whose name has been modified to end in -ide.

Magnesium combines with oxygen to form a compound called magnesium oxide (MgO).

How to write the formula Sodium chloride contains sodium ions

that have a 1+ charge and chloride ions that have a 1– charge.

the sum of the charges in an ionic compound must always equal zero.

Compounds Containing Polyatomic Ions

Polyatomic ion: An ion that has two or more different elements.

Compounds Containing Polyatomic Ions

Compounds Containing Polyatomic IonsIonic compounds may contain:1. positive metal ions bonded to negative

polyatomic ions, such as in NaOH .2. negative nonmetal ions bonded to positive

polyatomic ions, such as in NH4I .3. or positive polyatomic ions bonded to negative

polyatomic ions, such as in NH4NO3.

How to write formula of Compounds Containing Polyatomic IonsRemember that the sum of the

positive and negative charges must equal zero.

Write a subscript outside the parentheses to show the number of polyatomic ions in the compound.

The formula for the compound that contains one magnesium ion and two nitrate ions is Mg (NO3)2.

How to name a compound containing a polyatomic ionTo name a compound

containing a polyatomic ion, follow the same rules as used in naming binary compounds.

The name of the compound composed of calcium and the carbonate ion is calcium carbonate.

To form a neutral compound, one Ca2+ ion must combine with one CO3

2– ion to give the formula CaCO3.

Hydrates

Hydrate: A compound in which there is a specific ratio of water to ionic compound. For example CaSO4 • 2H2O is calcium sulfate dihydrate.

Hygroscopic: compounds can easily become hydrates by absorbing water molecules from water vapor in the air. Example is Sodium Carbonate (Na2CO3).

HydratesDeliquescent: Substances those are so hygroscopic that they take up enough water from the air to dissolve completely and form a liquid solution.

HydratesThe dot in the formula

represents a ratio of compound formula units to water molecules.

For example, CaSO4 • 2H20 is the formula for a hydrate of calcium sulfate that contains two molecules of water for each formula unit of calcium sulfate.

How To name hydratesTo name hydrates, follow the

regular name for the compound with the word hydrate, to which a prefix has been added to indicate the number of water molecules present.

The name of the compound with the formula CaSO4 • 2H2O is calcium sulfate dihydrate.

Anhydrous compoundHeating hydrates can drive off the

water. This results in the formation of an

anhydrous compound—one in which all of the water has been removed.

In some cases, an anhydrous compound may have different color from that of its hydrate. For example: CuSO4.5H2O is (blue) while anhydrous of CuSO4 is (white)
