  1. Compound names & Formulas Chapter 5

  2. Naming Ionic Compounds(Type I) • The metal is always named first and the nonmetal second • The name of the first symbol takes its name from the name of the element. Example: Na+ is called sodium • The name of the second symbol takes the first part of the element name and adding an –ide. Example: Cl- is called chloride

  3. Naming Ionic Compounds(Type I) • Exceptions!!! • Polyatomic ions already have specific names, so just name them that way. • Example: NH4+ is called ammonium

  4. Name the following • CaCl2: • Al2O3: • BaF2: • Li2O: • CaCO3: • KNO3: • NaF:

  5. Naming Covalent Compounds (Type III) • These contain only NONMETALS • The first element in the formula is named first and the full name is used. • The second element’s name ends in –ide. • Prefixes are used to denote the numbers of atoms present.

  6. Naming Covalent Compounds (Type III) • Prefixes mono 1 hexa 6 di 2 hepta 7 tri 3 octa 8 tetra 4 nona 9 penta 5 deca 10

  7. Name the following • BF3: • N2O4: • H2O: • CO2: • SiI4: • PCl3:

  8. Naming Ionic Compound w/ Transition Metals (Type II) • The metal is always named first and the nonmetal named second • Because the metal can assume more than one charge, is specified by a Roman in parentheses • Example: FeCl2 = Iron(II) chloride HINT: the number after the nonmetal usually becomes the Roman numeral

  9. Name the following • CuCl: • HgO: • Fe2O3: • MnO4: • PbCl4:

  10. Writing Ionic Formulas(swap and drop) • The (+) ion is written first, then the (-) ion • Find the charges of the ions -Look at the group # -Look at the roman numeral after the element (transition metals) • Write ions and their charges • Swap & drop charges, making them subscripts.

  11. Examples • Magnesium chloride • Aluminum oxide

  12. Examples: • Calcium sulfide • Lead (IV) oxide

  13. Examples: • Sodium sulfate • Ammonium carbonate

  14. Naming Acids • Acids contain hydrogen (H+ ions in solution) • ALL compounds beginning with hydrogen are acids • To name acids, you have to look at the anion (negative one!)

  15. Acid contains no oxygen • Acid begins with hydro- • Ends in –ic • The middle contains the base name of the anion Hydro_(anion)_ic • Example: HCl = Hydrochloric acid

  16. Acid contains oxygen • Check the name of the anion (it will be a polyatomic ion) • If it ends in –ite (i.e. nitrite) - use the root name of the polyatomic ion - ends in –ous • Example: HNO2 = Nitrous Acid

  17. Acid contains oxygen • If it ends in –ate (i.e. nitrate) -use the root name of the polyatomic ion -ends in –ic • Example: HNO3 = Nitric Acid
