Oxidation Numbers The charge on a monatomic ion Oxidation number or oxidation state Equals the number of electrons transferred from the atom to form the ion Notice some ions have more than one oxidation state – with the d orbital elements

Binary Ionic Compounds Symbol Cation then Anion Subscripts equals number of ions if no subscript then it is 1

How to figure the Formula Write the symbol and charge for each ion Find the ratio of ions in the formula Overall charge must be zero Subscripts times the charges sum to zero

Example 7.1 Determine the formula for the ionic compound formed from potassium and oxygen. Potassium group 1 K+ Oxygen group 16 O2- Ratio: 2:1 K2O Evaluate: 2 K ions (+1) + 1 O ion (-2) = 2 (+1) + 1(-2) = 2 + (-2) = 0

Example 7.2 Determine the formula for the compound formed from aluminum ions and sulfide ions. Aluminum group 13 Al3+ Sulfur group 16 S2- Ratio: 2:3 Al2S3 Evaluate: 2 Al ions (3) + 3 S ions (-2) = 2 (3) + 3 (-2) = 6 + (-6) = 0

Practice Write the ionic compound formula. Potassium and iodide Magnesium and chloride Aluminum and bromide Cesium and nitride KI MgCl2 AlBr2 Cs3N

Polyatomic Ionic Compounds Ionic compounds made from more than one atom. Popular ions Ammonium NH4+ Nitrite NO2- Nitrate NO3- Hydroxide OH- Cyanide CN-

Formulas for Polyatomic Ionic Compounds Mg(NO3)2 Mg2+ + (NO3)- ratio 1:2 Al(NO3)3 Al3+ + (NO3)- ratio 1:3 Use parenthesis to surround the polyatomic ion

Practice Write the formula for ionic compounds. Sodium and nitrate Calcium and chlorate Aluminum and carbonate 24. Ratio 1:1 Na+ + (NO3)- Na(NO3) 25. Ratio 1:2 Ca2+ + (ClO3)- Ca(ClO3)2 26. Ratio 2:3 Al3++(CO3)2- Al2(CO3)3

Naming Ionic Compounds Name the cation followed by the anion For monatomic cations use the element name For monatomic anions change the suffix to –ide. CsBr Cesium Bromide Rule 1 Rule 2 Rule 3

4. To distinguish between multiple oxidation numbers of the same element use (roman numerals) after the symbol. Fe2+ + O2-  FeO Iron (II) Oxide Fe3+ + O2-  Fe2O3 Iron (III) Oxide

When the compound contains a polyatomic ions use the polyatomic ion name. NaOH is sodium hydroxide (OH)- (NH4)2S is ammonium sulfide (NH4)+

Naming Ionic Compounds Yes No

Practice Problems Name the following compounds. NaBr CaCl2 KOH Cu(NO3)2 Ag2CrO4

Each Student Make a 5 x 5 chart Across the top write 5 non-metal ions, with one polyatomic anion Along the side list 5 metals, with ammonium ion. Trade charts with another student, name each compound in the boxes. Trade back and check.

Summary A formula unit gives the ratio of cations to anions in the ionic compound. A monatomic ion is formed from one atom. The charge of amonatomic ion is its oxidation number. Roman numerals indicate the oxidation number of cations having multiple possible oxidation states.

Polyatomic ions consist of more then one atom and act as a single unit. To indicate more than one polyatomic ion in a chemical formula, place parentheses around the polyatomic ion and use a subscript.

Practice Problems State the order in which the ions associated with a compound composed of potassium and bromine would be written in the chemical formula and the compound name. Describe the difference between a monatomic ion and a polyatomic ion, and give an example of each.
