1. 1 Chemical Formulae Ionic versus Molecular/Covalent – Ionic compounds typically feature a metal (cation) and a nonmetal (anion). – Molecular compounds are composed of nonmetals exclusively. – Both must be electrically neutral in charge. – Nomenclature (naming) has similarities… the differences occur because of the law of multiple proportions. The same elements can make multiple, different compounds... Roman numerals or prefixes are used.

2. 2 Molecular Formulae Formula Structure – Elements present – Subscripts * (shows how much of each element) CO 2 * If no subscript is present it means that there is only one atom of that element This is a molecule of a molecular compound. This is carbon dioxide.

3. 3 carbon dioxidecarbon oxygen Molecular Nomenclature Naming Rules – Write the names of both elements. You will only learn covalent naming for binary compounds – Change the ending of the second element to - ide. – Add prefixes to each element to indicate the subscripted number of atoms present. If the first element only has one atom then no prefix is added. Example: CO 2 becomes carbon oxidecarbon dioxide

4. 4 Molecular Nomenclature Prefixes - Greek prefixes used… 1. mono- 2.di– 3.tri- 4.tetra- 5.penta- 6.hexa- 7.hepta- 8.octa- 9.nona- 10.deca- - The final “o” or “a” of the prefix is usually dropped when preceding an element beginning with a vowel.
