  1. Names & Formulas Ionic Compounds 8.3

  2. Formulas • Formula unit is the ratio of cations to anions’ • Total number of electrons lost by cations must equal total number of electrons gained by anions • Binary compounds = simplest compound = 2 atoms • One cation, one anion • Monatomic ion = ion made from one atom

  3. Typical Ions • See Book, page 221 • Oxidation number = oxidation state = number of electrons transferred from an atom to make a compound • Na+ oxidation number = +1 • O2- oxidation number = 2- • Used to determine compound formulas

  4. Formula Names • Remember: total number of electrons lost by cations must equal total number of electrons gained by anions! • Metal name is stated first. • Number of cations in ratio is subcripted • Nonmetal name is stated second • Suffix –ide is used • Number of anions in ration is subscripted

  5. Formula Names • Examples • Sodium (Na+) and Chlorine (Cl-) NaCl = ratio 1:1 Sodium Chloride • Calcium (Ca2+) and Fluorine (Fl-) CaFl2 = ratio 1:2 Calcium Fluoride Aluminum (3+) and Sulfur (2-) Find lowest common dominator (6) 2(Al 3+) + 3 (S 2+) = both transfer 6 electrons Al2S3 Aluminum Sulfide

  6. Formulas with Polyatomic Ions • Poly atomic ions stay together as a single group • Example Calcium and Phosphate • Calcium (2+) • Phosphate PO4 (3-) • 3 (Ca) + 2 ( PO4) • Ca3(PO4)2 • Calcium Phosphate

  7. Naming Polyatomic Compounds • Oxyanions = polyatomic anions with one or more oxygen atom • With 2 anion forms: • Anion with most oxygen atoms is –ate • Anion with fewer oxygen atoms is –ite • With multiple anion forms: • Most oxygen atoms is per- metal -ate • Second most oxygen is –ate • Third most oxygen atoms is –ite • Fourth most oxygen atoms is hypo- metal -ite

  8. Naming Review • Name cation first, anion second • Monatomic ions use atom name • Monatomic anions take root of name and add –ide suffix • Group 1A and 2A metals have only one oxidation state. Transition metals can have more than one. Put oxidation state in as roman numerals • Polyatomic ions – just name the ion
