What does IUPAC stand for? International Union of Pure and Applied Chemistry Developed standards for the naming of the chemical elements and their compounds Name new elements
When two elements chemically combine, a compound results. In an ionic bond, a metal and a non-metal bond by transferring electrons. In a covalent bond, two non-metals bond by sharing electrons. Cation – Positive Ion (usually metals) Anion – Negative Ion (always nonmetals)
What are compounds? 2+ elements chemically combined Give me an example or two… Salt – Sodium Chloride – NaCl What type of bond is present in NaCl? Ionic Predict the chemical formula of Potassium Chloride KCl Calcium Chloride CaCl 2
Basically – the charge an element takes on when it stabilizes into a noble gas electron configuration Example: Sodium 1s 2 2s 2 2p 6 3s 1 Will lose 1 e - to become like Neon: 1s 2 2s 2 2p 6 Will gain 7 e - to become like Ar: 1s 2 2s 2 2p 6 3s 2 3p 6 Elements will take the easiest path – losing 1e in this case Na + will become a cation with an oxidation number of +1 due to the loss of 1 e -
What will the oxidation number of calcium be? Electrons: Easier to lose 2 or gain 6? Will lose 2 to become a cation Ca 2+ What will the oxidation number of Fluorine be? Electrons: Easier to lose 7 or gain 1? Will gain 1 to become an anion F -
Predict the oxidation number of: Cl-1 Na+1 Mg+2 Al+3 S-2 N-3
Oxidation Numbers are easy to predict with the periodic table! Group 1 = +1 Group 2 = +2 Group 13 = +3 Group 15 = -3 Group 16 = -2 Group 17 = -1 Group 18 = 0 Transition Metals cannot be predicted due to orbital overlap!
To name a Binary Compound from a formula: Identify and name the metal (the cation) Identify the nonmetal, write it’s name after the name of the metal, and change the ending to -ide Examples: MgF 2 ▪ Magnesium Fluoride Li 2 O ▪ Lithium Oxide
NaClSodium Chloride CaI 2 Calcium Iodide AlCl 3 Aluminum Chloride MgSMagnesium Sulfide Na 3 N 2 Sodium Nitride
LiBrLithium Bromide KIPotassium Iodide AlF 3 Aluminum Fluoride Al 2 O 3 Aluminum Oxide K 2 OPotassium Oxide
We have been naming formulas… Now let’s make formulas from names! Steps Consider oxidation numbers – they must cancel If a Mg 2+ bonds with a Cl -, How many Cl - will be needed to cancel the Mg 2+ ? ▪ It will take two Cl - to cancel the one Mg 2+ Change the subscript to change quantity Mg 2 + Cl - = MgCl 2

Oxidation Numbers cannot be predicted (because of orbital overlap) Oxidation Number must be stated with Roman Numerals in the written name of the compound (two exceptions – next slide) Iron (III) Oxide Fe 3+ and O 2-
Exceptions to Roman Numerals Always Zn 2+ Always Ag +
Iron (II) Oxide Lead (II) Chloride Chromium (V) Oxide CdS V2O5V2O5
Some ionic compound partly consist of polyatomic ions The prefix poly- means multiple, so polyatomic means multiple atoms ClO 3 - is an example of a polyatomic ion In naming, treat polyatomic ions as a single element, not as two separate ones

Covalent = NONMETALS Like binary ionic compounds, except covalent compounds use special prefixes
