1. How to Write Formulas for Binary Ionic Compounds and Name them.

2. What is an Ionic Compound? Ionic Compounds form when positively charged metal ions bond to negatively charged nonmetal ions. Metal + Nonmetal = Ionic Compound Example: Li +1 + S -2 = Li 2 S

3. Where on the periodic table are the metals found? Alkali metals Alkali earth metals Transition metals Rare earth metals Other metals Halogens Other nonmetals Noble gases

4. Binary Compounds A binary compound is composed of two elements. bi = 2 Examples: NaCl H 2 O MgS

5. Which of the following are Ionic compounds? 1)K 2 O 2)CH 4 3)SO 3 4)Na 2 O 5)MgBr 2 6)C 6 H 12 O 6

6. Some elements have more than one oxidation number. These elements will combine differently depending on their oxidation number. The different oxidation numbers are indicated by Roman Numerals Ex: Copper (I)Cu +1 Copper (II)Cu +2 Iron (II)Fe +2 Iron (III)Fe +3

7. Rules for Writing the Formulas of Binary Ionic Compounds 1.Write the symbol of the element with the positive oxidation number. 2.Write the symbol of the element with the negative oxidation number. 3.Cross and drop the oxidation numbers 4.If both subscripts are divisible by the same number, they must be reduced **Note: The Sum of the oxidation numbers should add up to zero to have a stable bond. Example: Al +3 +Br -1 = Al 3 Br

8. Examples: a) b) c) Fe +3 + O -2 = d) Ca +2 + O -2 = Ca 2 O 2 must be reduced to CaO Fe 2 O 3 Ca 2 O 2

9. Naming Binary Ionic Compounds

10. Rules for Naming Ionic Binary Compounds  Write the name of the first element listed in the chemical formula  Write the root name of the second element  Add the ending - ide to the root ElementRoot ChlorineChlor- FluorineFluor- NitrogenNitr- OxygenOx- SulfurSulf- PhosphorusPhosph -

11. Examples: NaCl = MgBr 2 = TiO 2 = Sodium Chloride Magnesium Bromide Titanium Oxide
