To Do: • Grade Ions in Compounds Activity • Update SN • Writing Formula Notes • HW: Chemical Bonding Analysis
Writing Chemical Formulas Chemical formulas describe compounds and list the types & numbers of atoms that are present in the compound. Consider the most famous chemical formula… H2O The small 2 is a subscript. It tells us that there are two hydrogen atoms in every molecule of water. A subscript number always belongs to the atom on the left and can NEVER be changed in a chemical formula.
H H O Compounds form so that each atom has a full outer energy level Sometimes that means it requires more than 1 atom to bond with another atom H2O Take water for example Water requires 2 hydrogen's for each oxygen
Given valence electrons figure out charge for each family +1 0 +2 +/-4 -3 -2 -1 +3
Always write metal first followed by nonmetal Compounds always have a neutral charge Sometimes that means you only need one metal and one nonmetal Na+ + Cl- NaCl Sometimes you need more than one metal &/or nonmetal Ca+2 + Cl- + Cl- CaCl2
Find the number of atoms of Magnesium and Iodine needed to make Magnesium iodide. Mg+2 + I- + I- MgI2 Find the formula for potassium nitride K+ + N-3 + K+ + K+ + K3N
Cl Ca Cl Criss Cross Method to find subscripts If the charges do not already add up to zero, the charge # of the metal becomes the subscript for the nonmetal, and vice versa For example: Calcium has a charge of 2, chlorine is a charge of 1 so the formula is CaCl2 = CaCl2 Ca+2 Cl-1 1 2 Ca+2 + Cl-1 + Cl-1 CaCl2 Of Course 1 atom is assumed and you don’t need that subscript
Find the formula for magnesium phosphide Mg+2 P-3 Mg+2 P-3 = Mg3P2 3 2 Mg+2 + Mg+2 + Mg+2 + P-3 + P-3 Mg3P2
