TRANSCRIPT
Chemical formula - combination of symbols that represent the composition of a compound
Shows elements present and number of atoms
subscripts
Represent the number of atoms of that element in the compound
No subscript is an “understood” 1
NaCl 1 Na 1 Cl H2SO4
2 H 1 S 4 O Ca(ClO3)2 ????? 1 Ca 2 Cl 6 O
Two types of compounds we will learn how to write formulas for
Ionic – transfer of electrons
Covalent – share electrons (called Molecular)
Molecular Compounds (covalent)
Representative unit – “molecule” (bonded covalently)
Type of elements – nonmetalsPhysical state – solid, liquid, gas
Solids – low melting point, brittle
Molecule – electrically neutral group of atoms that act as a unit
Naming binary molecular compounds
2 elements in the compound Both nonmetals!
2 naming systemsPrefix systemStock system (roman numerals)
Both systems are correct I’m sure you will prefer the prefix
system!
PREFIXES YOU MUST MEMORIZE!
Number of Prefix usedatoms 1 mono 2 di 3 tri 4 tetra 5 penta 6 hexa 7 hepta 8 octa 9 nona 10 deca
When 2 nonmetallic elements combineOften do so in more than one way
Example CO CO2
Problem with calling them both “carbon oxide”
CO2 – you exhale. It is normally present in the air you breathe
CO – hopefully is not in the air you breathe
In large amount R.I.P.Catalytic converter – cars
Converts CO to CO2
Prefix + first element nameFollowed by prefix + 2nd element
name with “ide” ending******only time you can not use a prefix is if the first element in the compound is a single atom
PCl3phosphorus trichloride
COCarbon monoxide (not monocarbon
monoxide!)
Don’t use “double vowels”Change if a “tongue twister”Monooxide monoxideDecaoxide decoxide
Trioxide – is fine
N2ODinitrogen monoxideSF6
Sulfur hexafluorideN2H4
Dinitrogen tetrahydride NO FACTORING ALLOWED!!!
P2O3
Diphosphorus trioxide
Name the following:
•CS2
•Carbon disulfide•Cl2O7
•Dichlorine heptoxide•P4O10
•Tetraphosphorus decoxide
•N2O5
•Dinitrogen pentoxide•CCl4
•Carbon tetrachloride
Write formulas for the following:•carbon tetrabromide•CBr4
•dinitrogen tetrahydride•N2H4
• boron trichloride• BCl3
• diphosphorus trioxide• P2O3
•A molecular compounds worksheet just for you!!
IONIC COMPOUNDS
•Four different types we will learn about
•Metal + nonmetal (binary ionic)
•Metal + polyatomic ion•Polyatomic ion + polyatomic ion
•Polyatomic ion + nonmetal
Ionic Charges•Monatomic ions – ions consisting of
only one atom•Charges can often be determined by
using the periodic table•Metallic elements – tend to lose
electrons to form cations•Group 1 – all 1+•Group 2 – all 2+
Nonmetals •Nonmetals tend to gain electrons when they bond with metals – form anions
Transition metals•Many have more than one common ionic charge
Are going to use roman numerals
I, II, III, IV, V
Oxidation number
• Indication of how many electrons it will gain or lose when it forms a bond
• Gains or loses electrons – forms an ion• Charged particle• Can be found for each element on the
periodic table• Refer to yours!!!
Some elements have more than 1 oxidation number – that means they can form more than one type of compound
When a single atom takes on a charge (by gaining or losing electrons) – it forms a
“monatomic ion”Ion made up of more than 1
atom – “polyatomic” ion
• Monatomic ions• Na+ Ca+2 Cl- O-2
• Polyatomic ions• CO3
-2 ClO3- OH-
Why would an atom want to form an ion?
Remember the “octet rule”
Wants a filled outer shell For most atoms, that is 8
Samples on board using electron dot notation
Na and ClCa and ClAl and ClCa and SK and N you do
Metal always written first – has positive oxidation number (written first)
Nonmetal written second – has negative oxidation number
Can use “criss-cross” method to arrive at correct formula.
Must remember to factor subscripts if possible!!
Magnesium oxide - MgO
Metal full name firstNonmetal name with “ide” endingNaCl sodium chlorideCaCl2 calcium chlorideLiF lithium fluorideAlBr3 aluminum bromide
Use Roman numerals to specify the oxidation number used
I, II, III, IV, V, VI, VII, VIIITransition metals characteristically
have multiple oxidation numbersONLY USE ROMAN NUMERALS IF THE
METAL HAS MORE THAN ONE OXIDATION NUMBER LISTED
Nonmetals may have more than one oxidation number, you just use the first number listed - NEGATIVE
Co, Ni, Cu, Fe, Mn
Always check before writing name for the compound
FeCl2 Iron(II) chlorideFeOFe2O3
calcium sulfideCaSstrontium bromideSrBr2
chromium(III) chlorideCrCl3
iron(II) oxideFeO
Fe2O3
Iron(III) oxideKIPotassium iodideCuOCopper(II) oxide
NiCl3Nickel(III) chlorideCrO3
Chromium(VI) oxide
2. Metal + polyatomic ion
Almost all polyatomic ions have a negative charge
2 you are responsible for have a positive charge NH4
+ and H3O+
Polyatomic ions travel as a unit Page 102 in text - list of polyatomic ions You will use the table I gave you
NEVER CHANGE THE SUBSCRIPTS IN A POLYATOMIC ION
THAT MEANS NEVER!!!!!!!
Can use same “criss-cross” method for determining the correct formula
Same rules apply – must factor the subscripts if you can (only the oxidation numbers that are used – NOT THE SUBSCRIPTS OF THE POLYATOMIC ION!!!!!!
At first, always put a parenthesis around the polyatomic ion
Only time the parenthesis can be dropped is if a “1” criss-crosses down or if the subscript factors to a “1”
Don’t forget to include a roman numeral in the name if the metal has multiple oxidation numbers!!!!!!
Metal name first (only use roman numeral if the metal has more than one oxidation number!!!)
Second is the name of the polyatomic ion – taken directly from the table!!
Don’t make up your own name!!!!!!!!
Representative unit = “formula unit”
Type of elements: Metal with nonmetal
Physical state: crystalline solid (hard)
High melting pointMost are soluble in H2O
Poor conductors of electricity in the solid stateBut good conductors when melted (molten) or dissolved in H2O (aq) (ions free to move)
Oxyacids – contain H, O and a third element (usually a nonmetal)
Acetic HCH3COO (acetate ion)
Nitric HNO3 (nitrate ion)
Nitrous HNO2 (nitrite ion)
Phosphoric H3PO4 (phosphate ion)
Sulfuric H2SO4 (sulfate ion)Sulfurous H2SO3 (sulfite ion)Carbonic H2CO3 (carbonate
ion)Hypochlorous HClO (hypochlorite
ion)Chlorous HClO2 (chlorite ion)Chloric HClO3 (chlorate ion)Perchloric HClO4 (perchlorate ion)
HF hydrofluoric acid
HCl hydrochloric acid HBr hydrobromic
acid HI hydroiodic acid
