Chapter 4 Section 3 Compound names and formulas
3
Naming Ionic Compounds Binary compounds (Compounds with just two elements) Na 2 S 1. Name the first element - Sodium 2. Name the root of the second element – “Sulf” 2. Name the root of the second element – “Sulf” 3. Add the ending “ide” to the root Sodium Sulfide Sodium Sulfide ALL binary compounds will end with “ide”. *There is an exception – compounds with ammonium can also end in “ide”….. Ammonium Bromide
4
Naming ionic compounds The first name is the name of the cation Example: CaCl 2 has first name calcium The last name has the name of the anion. (Anion names always end in “ide” unless they are from your polyatomic ion chart.) Example: CaCl 2 has last name chloride, so CaCl 2 is calcium chloride so CaCl 2 is calcium chloride
5
Name these ionic compounds 1. BaF 2 2. K 2 Se 3. CaS 4. AlF 3 5. LiH
6
Inonic Compounds Some common Cations Name and Symbol Ion charge Name and Symbol Ion charge Cesium ion, Cs+ 1 Lithium ion, Li+ 1 Potassium ion, K+ 1 Rubidium ion, Rb+ 1 Sodium ion, Na+ 1 Barium ion, Ba+ 2 Beryllium ion, Be+ 2 Calcium ion, Ca+ 2 Magnesium ion, Mg+ 2 Strontium ion, Sr+ 2 Aluminum ion, Al+ 3 Some common Anions Name and Symbol Ion charge Name and Symbol Ion charge Fluorine, F FluorIDE - 1 Chlorine, Cl ChlorIDE - 1 Bromine, Br BromIDE - 1 Iodine, I IodIDE - 1 Oxygen, O OxIDE - 2 Sulfur, S SulfIDE - 2 Nitrogen, N NitrIDE - 3
7
Some cation names must show their charge TTTTransition metals may form several cations each with a different charge. TTTThese cations must have a Roman Numeral in parenthesis. The Roman Numeral shows the cation’s charge.
8
Formulas with transition metals……….. EXAMPLE: Fe 2 O 3 - Look first at the element combined with the transition. Oxygen forms a - 2 ion, if there are 3 atoms each with a -2 charge there is a total charge of -6..So if Iron has 2 atoms, the total charge must equal +6. Then this is made of Fe +3 ions (+3 X 2 = +6), so it is named Iron (III) Oxide; FeO is made of Fe +2 ions so it is named Iron (II) Oxide.
9
What are the charges on ions?
10
Ionic compounds that contain more than 2 elements Compounds containing polyatomic ions have charges listed on your polyatomic ion chart. *Notice that all “ate” and “ite” suffixes are compounds that have oxygen in them.
11
Writing formulas for Ionic Compounds What is the chemical formula for aluminum fluoride? 1.List the symbols for each ion Al +3 F -1 2.Write the symbols for the ions with the cation first…. Al +3 F -1 3.Find the least common multiple of the ions charges, so that the positive and negative charges will balance…… need total of 3 negative charges to balance with Al’s 3 positive charges. 4.Write the chemical formula, indicating with subscripts how many of each ion are needed to make a neutral compound…… AlF 3 leave the charges off
12
Practice writing ionic formulas 1. Ca 2+ combined with F - CaF 2 2. Co 3+ combined with PO 4 3- CoPO 4 3. Ni 2+ combined with OH - Ni(OH) 2
13
More practice 1111. calcium combined with oxygen Ca2+ O2- C aO 2222. potassium combined with oxalate K1+ C C2O42- K 2C2O4 3333. barium hydrogen sulfate Ba2+ HSO41- B a(HSO4)2
14
Practice makes perfect only if you practice perfect! Write formulas for: Calcium sulfide Ca 2+ S 2- CaS Potassium sulfide K +1 S 2- K 2 S
15

16
Practice makes perfect only if you practice perfect! WWWWrite formulas for: GGGGallium oxide G a3+ O2- a2O3 AAAAmmonium Phosphite N H4+1 PO33- ( NH4) 3PO3
17
Some Transition Metal Cations Ion name Symbol Copper (I) Cu +1 Copper (II) Cu +2 Iron (II) Fe +2 Iron (III) Fe +3 Nickel (II) Ni +2 Nickel (III) Ni +3 Lead (II) Pb +2 Lead (IV) Pb +4 Mercury (I) Hg +1 Mercury (II) Hg +2 Gold ((I) Au +1 Gold (III) Au +3 Ion name Symbol Chromium (II)Cr +2 Chromium (III)Cr +3 Tin (II) Sn +2 Tin (IV) Sn +4 Titanium (II)Ti +2 Titanium (III)Ti +3 Titanium (IV)Ti +4 Manganese (II)Mn +2 Manganese (III)Mn +3 Manganese (IV)Mn +4 Manganese (VI)Mn + 6 Manganese (VII)Mn + 7
18
Math Skills….. Write formulas for the following ionic compounds: 1.Lithium oxide 2.Beryllium chloride 3.Titanium (III) nitride 4.Cobalt (III) hydroxide LiO 2 BeCl 2 TiN Co(OH) 3
19
Naming Covalent compounds Covalent compounds are named using different rules than those used to name ionic compounds Numerical prefixes are used to name covalent compounds of two elements Number of atoms Prefix 1 Mono 2 Di- 3 Tri- 4 Tetra- 5 Penta- 6 Hexa- 7 Hepta- 8 Octa- 9 Nona- 10 Deca- Dinitrogen tetroxide N 2 O 4 has 2 Nitrogen atoms and 4 Oxygen atoms.
20
What about covalent compounds? Many covalent compounds are named with prefixes. Examples: CO 2 SO 2 H 2 O 5
21
Many covalent compounds are hydrocarbons with special names Examples: CH 4 C 2 H 6 C 2 H 4 C 2 H 2
22
Naming non-binary compounds (polyatomics) Use the first element name Add the polyatomic name ****A hint – any time you see a compound with three or more elements it is a good sign that it may include a polyatomic*** CHECK YOUR LIST Example: NaNO 3 -
23
Name these….. Mg(NO 3 ) 2 Pb(OH) 2 CuCO 3 K 3 PO 4 NH 4 Cl
24
Chemical Formulas for Covalent Compounds A compound’s simplest formula as its empirical formula Different compounds can have the same empirical formula Molecular formulas are determined from empirical formulas
25
Check your understanding ASSIGNMENTS Writing Binary formulas Naming Binary Compounds (Ionic) Naming Binary Compounds (Covalent) Formulas with Polyatomic Ions Naming of Non-Binary Compounds Naming Compounds (Mixed)
26
Compound Names and Formulas Empirical formula – the simplest chemical formula of a compound that tells the smallest whole-number ratio of atoms in the compound Molecular formula – a chemical formula that reports the actual numbers of atoms in one molecule of a compound 4.3
