Classifying Materials Atomic elements = elements whose particles are single atoms. Molecular elements = elements whose particles are multi- atom molecules. Molecular compounds = compounds whose particles are molecules made of only nonmetals. Ionic compounds = compounds whose particles are cations and anions.

Molecular View of Elements and Compounds

Molecular Elements Certain elements occur as 2 atom molecules Rule of 7’s –there are 7 common diatomic elements –find the element with atomic number 7, N –make a figure 7 by going over to Group 7A, then down –don’t forget to include H 2 H2H2 Cl 2 Br 2 I2I2 7 VIIA N 2 O 2 F 2

Ionic Compounds Ionic compounds form when metals combine with nonmetals. There are no individual molecules, instead there is a 3-dimensional array made up of formula units of cations and anions. metal atoms form cations, nonmetal atoms for anions Compounds must have no total charge, therefore we must balance the numbers of cations and anions in a compound to get 0 charge If Na + is combined with S 2-, you will need 2 Na + ions for every S 2- ion to balance the charges, therefore the formula must be Na 2 S

Molecular Compounds two or more nonmetals smallest unit is a molecule

Classify each of the following as either an atomic element, molecular element, molecular compound or ionic compound aluminum, Al aluminum chloride, AlCl 3 chlorine, Cl 2 acetone, C 3 H 6 O carbon monoxide, CO cobalt, Co

Classify each of the following as either an atomic element, molecular element, molecular compound or ionic compound aluminum, Al = atomic element aluminum chloride, AlCl 3 = ionic compound chlorine, Cl 2 = molecular element acetone, C 3 H 6 O = molecular compound carbon monoxide, CO = molecular compound cobalt, Co = atomic element

Metal Cations Type I –metals whose ions can only have one possible charge IA, IIA, (Al, Ga, In) –determine charge by position on the Periodic Table IA = +1, IIA = +2, (Al, Ga, In = +3) Type II –metals whose ions can have more than one possible charge –determine charge by charge on anion How do you know a metal cation is Type II? It’s not Type I !!!

Determine if the following metals are Type I or Type II. If Type I, determine the charge on the cation it forms. lithium, Li copper, Cu gallium, Ga tin, Sn strontium, Sr

Determine if the following metals are Type I or Type II. If Type I, determine the charge on the cation it forms. lithium, LiType I+1 copper, CuType II gallium, GaType I+3 tin, SnType II strontium, SrType I+2

Type I Binary Ionic Compounds Contain a Metal Cation + a Nonmetal Anion Common simple cations and anions are listed in Table 5.1 The Metal is listed first in the formula & name 1.Name the metal cation first, name the nonmetal anion second. 2.The cation name is the same as the metal name. 3.The nonmetal anion is named by changing the ending on the nonmetal name to –ide

Example – Naming Binary Ionic, Type I Metal CsF 1.Identify Major Class Cs = is a metal because it is on the left side of the Periodic Table F = is a nonmetal because it is on the right side of the Periodic Table: Ionic 2.Identify the Subclass 2 elements: Binary Ionic 3.Is the metal Type I or Type II? Cs is in Group IA: Type I 4.Identify the cation and anion Cs = Cs + because it is in Group 1 F = F - because it is in Group 7 5.Name the cation Cs + = cesium 6.Name the anion F - = fluoride 7.Write the cation name first, then the anion name cesium fluoride

Type II Binary Ionic Compounds Contain a Metal Cation + a Nonmetal Anion Metal ions are listed first in the formula & name 1.Name the metal cation first, name the nonmetal anion second. 2.Metal cation names are the metal name followed by a Roman Numeral in parentheses to indicate the charge on the cation. –determine charge from the anion charge –Common Type II cations (elements that have more than one possible charge) are listed in Table Nonmetal anions are named by changing the ending on the nonmetal name to -ide

Example – Naming Binary Ionic, Type II Metal CuCl 1.Identify Major Class Cu = is a metal because it is on the left side of the PT Cl = is a nonmetal because it is on the right side of the PT  Ionic 2.Identify the Subclass 2 elements,  Binary Ionic 3.Is the metal Type I or Type II Cu is not in Group IA, IIA, or (Al, Ga, In)  Type II 4.Identify cation and anion Cl = Cl - because it is Group 7 Cu = Cu + to balance the charge 5.Name the cation Cu + = copper(I) 6.Name the anion Cl - = chloride 7.Write the cation name first, then the anion name copper(I) chloride

Determining the Charge on a Multivalent Cation – Au 2 S 3 1.determine the charge on the anion Au 2 S 3 - the anion is S, since it is in Group 6A, its charge is -2 2.determine the total negative charge since there are 3 S in the formula, the total negative charge is -6 3.determine the total positive charge since the total negative charge is -6, the total positive charge is +6 4.divide by the number of cations since there are 2 Au in the formula & the total positive charge is +6, each Au has a +3 charge

Examples: Name the following LiCl AlCl 3 PbO PbO 2 Mn 2 O 3 ZnCl 2 AgCl

Examples LiCl = lithium chloride AlCl 3 = aluminum chloride PbO = lead(II) oxide PbO 2 = lead(IV) oxide Mn 2 O 3 = manganese(III) oxide ZnCl 2 = zinc(II) chloride or zinc chloride AgCl = silver(I) chloride or silver chloride

Naming Type III Binary Molecular Compounds of 2 Nonmetals 1.Name the first element in the formula first –use the full name of the element 2.Name the second element in the formula with an -ide –as if it were an anion, however, remember these compounds do not contain ions! 3.Use a prefix in front of each name to indicate the number of atoms Never use the prefix mono- on the first element

Subscript - Prefixes 1 = mono- –not used on first nonmetal 2 = di- 3 = tri- 4 = tetra- 5 = penta- 6 = hexa- 7 = hepta- 8 = octa- drop the last “a” if the name begins with a vowel Remember these prefixes listed in Table 5.3

Example – Naming Binary Molecular BF 3 1.Identify Major Class B = is a nonmetal because it is on the right side of the PT F = is a nonmetal because it is on the right side of the PT  Molecular 2.Identify the Subclass 2 elements:  Binary Molecular 4.Name the first element boron 5.Name the second element with an –ide fluorine  fluoride 6.Add a prefix to each name to indicate the subscript monoboron, trifluoride 7.Write the first element with prefix, then the second element with prefix –Drop prefix mono from first element boron trifluoride

Compounds Containing Polyatomic Ions Polyatomic ions are single ions that contain more than one atom. Name these compounds using procedures similar to those for naming binary ionic compounds. Use Table 5.4 to help you recognize these ions until you have memorized them. Note that several polyatomic anions exist that contain an atom of a given element and different numbers of oxygen atoms. These anions are called oxyanions. E.g. oxyanions containing chlorine are: ClO - hypochlorite ClO 2 - chlorite ClO 3 - chlorate ClO 4 - perchlorate

Formula-to-Name Flow Chart

Formula-to-Name Step 1 Is the compound one of the exceptions to the rules?

Common Names - Exceptions H 2 O = water, steam, ice NH 3 = ammonia CH 4 = methane NaCl = table salt C 12 H 22 O 11 = table sugar

Formula-to-Name Step 2 What major class of compound is it? Ionic or Molecular

Major Classes Ionic –metal + nonmetal The metal is written first in the formula Binary Ionic –compounds with polyatomic ions Molecular –2 nonmetals Binary Molecular (or Binary Covalent) –Acids – formula starts with H although acids are molecular, they behave as ionic substances when dissolved in water They may be binary or an oxyacid

Formula-to-Name Step 3 What major subclass of compound is it? Binary Ionic, Ionic with Polyatomic Ions, Binary Molecular, Binary Acid, Oxyacid

Classifying Compounds into major subclasses Compounds containing a metal and a nonmetal = binary ionic –Type I and II Compounds containing two nonmetals = binary molecular compounds –Type III Compounds containing a polyatomic ion = ionic with polyatomic ion Compounds containing H and a nonmetal = binary acids Compounds containing H and a polyatomic ion = oxyacids

Formula-to-Name Step 4 Apply Rules for the Class and Subclass

Formula-to-Name Rules for Ionic Made of cations and anions Name by simply naming the ions –If the cation is: Type I metal = metal name Type II metal = metal name with the charge written in parentheses as a Roman Numeral Polyatomic ion = name of polyatomic ion –If the anion is: Nonmetal = stem of nonmetal name + ide Polyatomic ion = name of polyatomic ion

Monatomic Nonmetal Anion determine the charge from the position on the Periodic Table to name the anion, change the ending on the element name to –ide 4A = -45A = -36A = -27A = -1 C = carbideN = nitrideO = oxideF = fluoride Si = silicideP = phosphideS = sulfideCl = chloride
