TODAY: Polyatomic Ions Read pages 41-42 HW: Naming ionic compounds involving polyatomic ions HW: WS 6.4 Problems: chapter 2 problems 34, 36 and 38
POLYATOMIC IONS • tightly bound groups of atoms that behave as a unit and carry a charge • most end in –ite or –ate • exceptions: NH4+ – ammonium CN–– cyanide OH–– hydroxide
–ATE vs. –ITE • phosphate vs. phosphite PO43- PO33- • –ate = one more oxygen than –ite • charge is the same
POLYATOMIC IONS • when a polyatomic ion begins with H, it is H+ + another polyatomic ion: • HCO3– is H+ and CO32– • HPO42– is H+ and PO43–
TERNARY IONIC COMPOUNDS • contain three different elements • usually contain a polyatomic ion • balance the charge like a binary compound – treat the polyatomic ion as single unit
TERNARY IONIC COMPOUNDS • calcium carbonate • lithium carbonate
TERNARY IONIC COMPOUNDS • magnesium hydroxide • sodium phosphite
POLYATOMIC IONS FROM NOW ON: know NO CO SO PO ions (–ates and –ites) know NH4+ know –ides: cyanide, hydroxide know chlorine containing ions
