Ionic Compound Definitions Ionic bond- bond formed by attraction between + and - ions Binary Ionic Compound- compound containing two elements—one metal and one non-metal + Cation - Anion
Metals & Non-Metals Ionic Bonds are between metals & non-metals
Identifying & Naming Binary Ionic • These compounds have: • 2 elements (“binary”) • A metal & a non-metal (“ionic”) • To name these compounds: • Write the name of the metal (the cation) • Write the name of the non-metal (the anion) with the suffix “-ide” The subscripts in the formula do not matter when naming this type
Example #1 NaCl
Example #1 “Sodium” Cation NaCl Anion “Chlorine” becomes “Chloride” Sodium Chloride
Example #2 CaBr2
Example #2 “Calcium” Cation CaBr2 Anion “Bromine” becomes “Bromide” Calcium Bromide
Example #3 K2O
Example #3 “Potassium” Cation K2O Anion “Oxygen” becomes “Oxide” Potassium Oxide
Let’s Practice CaF2 Na3P NaCl SrBr2 Example: Write the name for the following compounds
Let’s Practice CaF2 Na3P NaCl SrBr2 Calcium fluoride Sodium phosphide Sodium chloride Strontium bromide Example: Write the name for the following compounds
Ionic Compound Definitions Ionic bond- bond formed by attraction between + and - ions Binary Ionic Compound- compound containing two elements—one metal and one non-metal + Cation - Anion
Metals & Non-Metals Ionic Bonds are between metals & non-metals
Identifying & Naming Binary Ionic • These compounds: • End in “-ide” (except “hydroxide and cyanide”) • Do NOT contain covalent prefixes • To write these formulas: • Write the symbol & charge of the first element (the metal, cation) • Write the symbol & charge of the second element (the non-metal, anion) • Add more of the cations and/or anions to have a neutral compound • Use subscripts to show how many of each type of ion is there.
Example #1 Sodium chloride
Example #1 Na+1 Cation Sodium chloride Anion Cl-1 NaCl
Example #1 Na+1 Cation Na+1Cl-1 Sodium chloride +1 + -1 = 0 Anion The compound is neutral…no subscripts are needed. Cl-1 NaCl
Example #2 Calcium bromide
Example #2 Ca+2 Cation Calcium bromide Anion Br-1
Example #2 Ca+2 Cation Ca+2Br-1 Calcium bromide +2 + -1 = +1 Anion Ca+2Br-1Br-1 Br-1 +2 + -1 + -1 = 0 CaBr2 The subscript “2” is used to show that 2 anions are needed.
