CHEMICAL NAMES AND FORMULAS

IONIC COMPOUNDS

7.1 NOTESA compound, whether ionically or covalently bonded,

always has the same ratio of moles of atoms. (Law of Definite Proportion)

7.1 NOTESAn ionic compound is composed of ions bonded

together.

It could be 2 monatomic ions 2 polyatomic ions 1 monatomic and 1 polyatomic

7.1 NOTESWhat is the difference between a monatomic and a

polyatomic ion?

7.1 NOTESMonatomic ions contain one atom and polyatomic ions

contain 2 or more atoms.

The charge for monatomic ions is based on the number of electrons they lose or gain to have a filled valence shell.

Some common ones are listed on p. 221.

7.1 NOTESThe charge for monatomic ions is based on the number

of electrons they lose or gain to have a filled valence shell.

Na Na1+ Mg Mg2+

Cl Cl1-

O O2-

7.1 NOTESMost transition metals can have more than one charge,

but there are two elements in the transition metals that always form the same charged ion.

Ag Ag1+

Zn Zn2+

7.1 NOTESPolyatomic ions are groups of atoms that bond

covalently, but have an overall charge, so they act as an ion when bonding.

Some of the common ones are listed on p. 226.

7.1 NOTESOxyanions contain oxygen in varying numbers.

ClO1- is hypochloriteClO2

1- is chloriteClO3

1- is chlorate ClO4

1- is perchlorate

How do you remember all of these?

Phoenix.

The underlined letter is the element in the ion.The number of consonants is the number of

oxygens.The number of vowels is the charge.The names all end in –ate.

7.1 NOTESRules for naming ionic compounds:

7.1 NOTESRules for naming ionic compounds:1. Cation always comes first

If an element forms more than one type of ion, that must be noted using a Roman numeral for the charge.

This most often happens in the transition metals.

If an element forms more than one type of ion, that must be noted.

Cu Cu1+ or Cu2+

Cu Cu1+ or Cu2+

copper (I) copper (II)

The common transition metals that we will use are listed on

the pink sheet.

7.1 NOTESRules for naming ionic compounds:1. Cation always comes first

If an element forms more than one type of ion, that must be noted.

2. Anion always comes second.If it is a monatomic ion (single element)

change the ending of the element to –ide.

7.1 NOTESRules for writing formulas for ionic compounds:1. Cation always comes first

If a Roman numeral is present, it represents the charge on the cation.

2. Anion always comes second.

Balance the charges so that the overall charge is zero.4. If parentheses are needed to multiply polyatomic ions, use

them.

MOLECULAR COMPOUNDS

7.1 NOTESMolecular compounds, because they can be bonded

more than one way, have different rules.

7.1 NOTESMolecular compounds, because they can be bonded

more than one way have different rules.

For instance:CO and CO2

There are different ways of naming these, and because they are not ions, Roman numerals aren’t used.

Although there is a push to use Roman numerals (Stock system) for these as well.

7.1 NOTESRules for naming molecular compounds.1. The element in the lower number group goes first, or

if in the same group, the element with the higher period number goes first. This element uses a prefix to denote the number of atoms, but never uses “mono-”. The English name is used.

2. The second element always uses a prefix also to denote the number of atoms. A root word of the element is used along with the ending “–ide”.

3. If there are multiple vowels in between the prefix and the root word, one of them is often dropped.

4. When metalloids bond with nonmetals (usually the case), this system of naming is used.

7.1 NOTESAn acid is a covalently bonded molecule which forms

ions.

7.1 NOTESRules for naming acids1. The anion which forms the basis of the acid is used

for the name.2. If it is a binary acid (hydrogen plus one other

element) the name is hydro_________ic acid.3. If it is an oxygen acid (hydrogen, oxygen plus one

other element) the name depends on the number of oxygen atoms present.per__________ic acid (anion is per_____ate) HClO4
