Chemical Nomenclature and Formulas: What’s in a Name?
2

3
Binary Compounds— Writing Chemical formulas 1) Cation, Anion 2) Write oxidation number/charge on each element. 3) Balance charges by the smallest common multiplier between the two elements. Charges must add to 0 for a neutral compound. 4) Add the subscripts for each element in the chemical compound.
4
Example 1: Magnesium bromide
5
Example 2: Aluminum oxide
6
5) If the first element is a transition element, the oxidation number or charge of the element is given by a Roman numeral (I, II, III, IV, etc.) following the element name. Exceptions: Ag +1 and Zn +2 —they will always have these charges.
7
Example 3: Tin (IV) sulfide
8
Example 2: Mercury (II) fluoride
9
Example 4: Iron (III) oxide
10
Try….. 1)Calcium chloride 2)Copper (I) oxide 3)Sodium bromide 4)Potassium sulfide 5)Calcium oxide
11
Binary Compounds— Writing Chemical formulas (Cont.) 6) If a binary compound has a prefix or prefixes in front of an element name, these prefixes are the subscripts for that element in the chemical formula. Prefixes represent the number of element atoms present in a molecule of the chemical compound.
12
Prefixes 1 mono6 hexa 1 mono6 hexa 2 di7 hepta 2 di7 hepta 3 tri8 octa 3 tri8 octa 4 tetra9 nona 4 tetra9 nona 5 penta10 deca 5 penta10 deca
13
Example 1: Carbon tetrachloride
14
Example 2: Diphosphorus trioxide
15
Polyatomic Chemical Compounds—Writing Chemical Formulas. 1) Cation, Anion—reference table 2) Write the oxidation number/charge on each element and polyatomic ion. 3) Balance charges by the smallest common multiplier between the cation and anion. Charges must add to 0 for a neutral compound. 4) Add the subscripts for each element/polyatomic ion to the chemical compound. *Polyatomic ions: place polyatomic ions in parentheses when adding subscript (ex. (NO 3 ) 2 ) *Polyatomic ions: place polyatomic ions in parentheses when adding subscript (ex. (NO 3 ) 2 )
16
Example 1: Silver nitrate
17
Example 2: Magnesium acetate
18
Example 3: Calcium carbonate
19
Example 4: Ammonium chloride
20
Can we go in reverse?
21
Binary Compounds: Chemical Nomenclature 1) Write an element’s oxidation number over the element symbol. 2) Cation, Anion—write the element name 3) Add the ending -IDE to the second element/anion
22
Example 1: Al 2 S 3
23
Example 2: CaBr 2
24
Transition Elements 4) Place a Roman numeral matching the charge/oxidation # on an element after the positive element’s name. Roman numeral is put in () (ex. (II)). Roman numeral indicates the oxidation number on an element can vary. -Go back to Step #3
25
Example 1: CuS
26
Example 2: CoBr 2
27
5) If both elements are found on the RIGHT side of the periodic table, use the appropriate prefix for a given element. -Go back to Step #3
28
Example 1: SBr 3
29
Example 2: CCl 4
30
Compounds with Polyatomic Ions: Chemical Nomenclature 1) Write oxidation # for each element/polyatomic ion in the formula 2) Write the element and/or polyatomic ion names. 3) If a transition element (an element where the oxidation # varies), use a Roman numeral to indicate an element’s oxidation # in the chemical name. *NO –IDE ENDING!!!! *NO –IDE ENDING!!!!
31
Example 1: Sr(NO 3 ) 2 Example 1: Sr(NO 3 ) 2
32
Example 2: CuSO 4
