B. Naming Compounds containing Polyatomic Ions
Oxyanions are anions that have different amounts of oxygen atoms
In the oxyanions, the names differ depending on the # of oxygens
-less oxygen: -ite-more oxygen: -ate
Some series consist of more than 2 oxyanions -Least oxygen atoms: hypo
-Most oxygen atoms: per
B. Naming Polyatomic Ions!
Hypochlorite Chlorite
Chlorate Perchlorate
Note* the red spheres are the number of oxygen atoms
C. Introduction to Acids
A polyatomic ion that has H+ ions.
Produce these ions when dissolved in water
Acids have a low pH measure.
Acids usually taste sour.
C. Acids and How to Name Them
Acids That Do Not Contain Oxygen-The prefix hydro- is added in front of the name of the acid.-the suffix –ic is added to the root name of the element
Acids Containing Oxygen-The suffix –ic or –ous is applied to the root name of the element-Use the suffix –ic if the name of the ion ends in –ate.
D. Written Names to Formula
The first step to naming a polyatomic ion from formula is to MEMORIZE and become FAMILIAR with polyatomic ions.
After that, check to see if there are hydrogen or oxygen atoms present
Apply the proper suffixes and prefixes
D. Naming Names to Formula
Remember Higher: -ic ex: sulfuric Lower: ous ex: sulfurous Metals with one valence electron: -ide
ex: hyroxide When there’s more oxygen than the usual
amount: per- ex: peroxide One with less oxygen: -ite ex:nitrite One with more oxygen: -ate ex: nitrate
E. Writing Formulas from Names
Recognize the formulas for the polyatomic ions.
Note the presence of oxygen or hydrogen to see if the compound contains oxyanions or is an acid
Make sure to balance the charge by using subscripts or roman numerals
E. Writing Formulas to Names Part D. applies
here too Mono- doesn’t
apply to the first element
If it doesn’t sound right drop a vowel
1 mono-
2 di-
3 tri-
4 tetra-
5 penta-
6 hexa-
7 hepta-
8 octa-
9 nona-
10 deca-
