2. COVALENT BONDING When an atom of one nonmetal shares one or more electrons with an atom of another nonmetal so both atoms end up with eight valence electrons

3. COVALENT BONDING IS THE COMPOUND A COVALENT COMPOUND?NONMETAL NONMETAL YES since it is made of only nonmetal elements

4. NAMING COVALENT COMPOUNDS USE THE PREFIX METHOD COVALENT BONDING

5. 1 = MONO 6 = HEXA 2 = DI 7 = HEPTA 3 = TRI 8 = OCTA 4 = TETRA 9 = NONA 5 = PENTA 10 = DECA COVALENT BONDING

6. 1.Name the first element in the compound 2.Write the prefix on the name that matches the subscript number in the formula for the compound 3.Repeat these steps until you have done all of the elements in the compound 4.Change the ending of the name of the last element to end in “-ide” COVALENT BONDING

7. NAMING COVALENT COMPOUNDS C = carbon 4 = tetra So C 4 = tetracarbon COVALENT BONDING

8. NAMING COVALENT COMPOUNDS S = sulfur 7 = hepta So S 7 = heptasulfur COVALENT BONDING

9. NAMING COVALENT COMPOUNDS Br = bromine 3 = tri So Br = tribromine COVALENT BONDING

10. NAMING COVALENT COMPOUNDS O = oxygen 1 = mono So O = monoxygen COVALENT BONDING

11. NAMING COVALENT COMPOUNDS P = phosphorus 9 = nona So P 9 = nonaphosphorus COVALENT BONDING

12. Put all of the parts together to get the final name of the compound COVALENT BONDING Tetracarbon heptasulfur tribromine monoxygen nonaphosphorus This is almost right. The ending on the last element in the name needs to be changed to “-ide” so the final correct name would be Tetracarbon heptasulfur tribromine monoxygen nonaphosph ide

13. WRITING FORMULAS FOR COVALENT COMPOUNDS 1.Write the symbol for the first element in the compound 2.To write the subscript, use the number that matches the prefix for the first element 3.Continue until you have used all of the elements in the compound COVALENT BONDING

14. tricarbon pentanitrogen octoflourine dioxide tricarbon = C 3 pentanitrogen = N 5 octoflourine = F 8 dioxide = O 2 COVALENT BONDING

15. Put the pieces together and the formula for Tricarbon pentanitrogen octoflourine dioxide becomes

16. EXCEPTIONS When a chemical formula starts with hydrogen, the hydrogen atom is acting like an ion and the compound is IONIC, not covalent. ACIDS have special names based on their formulas

17. ACID NAMES HCl is hydrochloric acid HNO 3 is nitric acid H 2 SO 4 is sulfuric acid H 3 PO 4 is phosphoric acid

18. REVIEW QUESTIONS 1.What part of the atom is involved in covalent bonding? 2.Covalent compounds are made of elements that are both ___________. 3.If you see prefixes in the name of a compound, it means it’s bonding is ___________

19. REVIEW QUESTIONS 4. What is the chemical name for C 7 H 3 Br 6 ? 5.What is the chemical name for H 2 O? 6.What is the chemical formula for monosulfur dioxide? 7.What is the chemical formula for trinitrogen hexaflourine disulfur monophosphide?
