Varying the Number of Oxygens in a Polyatomic Ion

Professional Hillbilly Engineer Exam

Calculate the smallest limb diameter on a persimmon tree that will support a 10-pound possum.

Naming Various Polyatomic Ions:At the conclusion of our time together, you should be able to:

1. Name 3 different polyatomic ions by adding or subtracting oxygens

2. Use these various ions in a compound and name them or write them

6 Types Of Chemical Compounds

•Binary ionic - metal ion – nonmetal ion

•Binary molecular - two nonmetals

•Ternary ionic - at least one ion is a polyatomic ion

•Binary acid - H – nonmetal

•Ternary acid - H – Polyatomic ion

•Base - metal ion – OH

Let’s learn some variations on the polyatomic ions…

•The standard ions that you have on your handout that end in –ate can be changed by adding or subtracting

oxygens to form 3 more ions.

Let’s see what happens when we add or subtract oxygens…

New Element On The Periodic Table (cont.)

Physical Properties of Xx: Generally round in form. Boils at nothing and may freeze anytime. Melts whenever treated properly. Very bitter if not used well.

Chemical Properties: Very active. Possesses strong affinity to gold, silver, platinum, and precious stones. Violent when left alone. Able to absorb great amount of exotic food. Turns slightly green when placed beside a better specimen. Ages rapidly.

New Element On The Periodic Table (cont.)

Usage of Xx: Highly ornamental. An extremely good catalyst for disintegration of wealth. Probably the single most powerful income reducing agent known.

Caution: Highly explosive in inexperienced hands.

(NH4)3PO3

Name the first ion.

Name the second ion.Ammoniumphosphite

Naming Compounds with Polyatomic Ions as Cations and Anions

Cu2SO5 Name the first ion.

CopperYou should realize that you need a Roman Numeral since copper is a transition metal.The Roman Numeral is the same as the charge.

What is the charge?

The charge of persulfate is -2.

Since there are two coppers, the charge of the copper must be +1.

(I)persulfate

Name the second ion.

Euphemisms in Science We all know that some politicians and government spokesmen use certain euphemistic phrases to give an aura of respectability

to descriptions of events or actions which would be offensive when expressed in plain English. The following is a list of

Euphemisms in Science and their translations into plain English.

“It has long been known...”

I haven't bothered to look up any references!

Aluminum nitrate First, you can tell from the name that there is a polyatomic ion present (nitrite). All binary ionic compounds have suffixes of –ide.

Write the formula/symbol and charge of each ion.

Al3+ NO2-

Balance the charges by supplying subscripts.

Since Al is +3 and NO2 is -1, you need a total of 3NO2-

to balance one Al3+

Since you will need a subscript of 3 for NO2-, you need

to put this in parentheses with the 3 outside.

Al(NO2)3

Lead (IV) peracetate Write the formula/symbol and charge of each ion.

Pb4+ C2H3O3-

Balance the charges by supplying subscripts. Since Pb is +4 and C2H3O3 is -1, you will need 4 C2H3O3

-1 to balance 1Pb+4

Pb(C2H3O3)4

Calcium phosphiteWrite the formula/symbol and charge of each ion.

Balance the charges by supplying subscripts. Since Ca is +2 and PO3 is -3, you will need 3 Ca+2 to balance 2 PO3

-3

Ca2+ PO33-

Ca3(PO3)2
