Lesson Objectives • Write formulas for • Common polyatomic ions • Ionic Compounds • Containing main group or transition metals • Bases • Acids • Binary acids • Oxyacids • Covalent compounds • Writing Formulas
Formulas express the types and numbers of atoms in a compound • Symbols are used to represent the types of elements • Subscripts are used to represent the number of atoms of each element • Chemical Formulas Ex) NH3 N H H H
Ionic formula– shows the number and types of ions in a formula unit • Formula unit – the lowest whole number ratio of ions in a compound • Has no overall charge • Ionic Formulas Ex) NaCl Formula unit
Molecular formula – a formula that shows the number of atoms of each element in a molecule • Does not contain ions • Formulas for Covalent Compounds Ex) H2O2 H O O H
Least electronegative element is written first • Prefixes in the name determine the number of atoms of each element in the compound • Writing Molecular Formulas
Number of atoms will become the subscript • No prefix on the first element’s name means there is one atom of the element • 1’s are not written in formulas • Writing Covalent Formulas • O2 • N Ex) Nitrogendioxide =
Writing Ionic Formulas • Determine the charges of the ions in the formula • Generally, charge can be determined by an ion’s group number 1+ Group 1A 3+ 2- 1- Group 8A 2+ 3- Group 2A Group 3A Group 4A Group 5A Group 6A Group 7A
Determine the charges of the ions in the formula • Exceptions — multiple oxidation state metals • Most transition and post transition metals can form more than one cation • Oxidation state will be written in the name as a Roman numeral • Writing Ionic Formulas Ex) Iron(II) = Fe2+
Write ions with charges • Cations written first • Cross anddrop charges • Use the absolute value of each ion’s charge as the subscript for the other ion • Reduce subscripts to the lowest whole number ratio Ex) Write the formula for lead(IV) oxide Step 2: Pb4+ O-2 Step 3: Pb2O4 Step 4: PbO2 • Writing Ionic Formulas The charges of the ions balance each other so the overall charge is zero.
Write ions with charges • Cations written first • Cross and drop charges • Use the absolute value of each ion’s charge as the subscript for the other ion • Reduce subscripts to the lowest whole number ratio Ex) Write the formula for lead(IV) oxide Step 4: PbO2 • Writing Ionic Formulas Pb4+ O2- O2- (1 × +4 ) + (2 × –2) = 0 The charges of the ions balance each other so the overall charge is zero.
Write the correct formula for iron (III) oxide Fe3+ O2- Fe2O3
Follow the same basic steps for ionic formulas with polyatomic ions • You will have a list of polyatomic ions to refer to • Ionic Formulas with Polyatomic Ions
When more than one of a particular polyatomic ion is present, parentheses are needed • Parentheses go around the entire formula of the polyatomic ion with the subscript outside parentheses • Subscript describes the number of polyatomic ions • Ionic Formulas with Polyatomic Ions Ex) Ammoniumcarbonate NH4+ CO32- (NH4)2CO3
Write the correct formula for magnesium phosphate Mg2+ PO43- Mg3(PO4)2
Some ionic compounds are bases • Bases are usually composed of a cation and the polyatomic ion hydroxide cation + hydroxide • Formulas of these bases are written using the same rules as other ionic compounds with polyatomic ions • Formulas for Bases Ex) Mg(OH)2
Oxyanions are named in series • Oxyanion – polyatomic ion that includes oxygen • Naming pattern most common ion nonmetal’s stem + -ate • Number of oxygen atoms in the most common ion will depend on the nonmetal • Look up or memorize the formulas of -ate ions • All of the formulas in the series can be determined if one of the formulas from the series is known • Patterns in Polyatomic Ion Formulas
Each oxyanion in the series will have a different number of oxygen atoms • Prefixes and suffixes attached to the nonmetal stem designate the ion’s place in the series • Patterns in Polyatomic Ion Formulas Ex) O4 O3 O2 O
Prefixes and suffixes organized by the number of oxygen atoms present in the formula per-…-ate > -ate > -ite> hypo-…-ite • Formulas for Oxyanions O4 O3 O2 O5 Ex) Phosphate= PO43– What is the formula for perphosphate? PO53– What is the formula for phosphite? PO33– What is the formula for hypophosphite? PO23–
Formulas begin with H • Type of acid is determined by its anion • Binary acid – acid composed of hydrogen ions and monatomic anions H+ + monatomic anion • Oxyacid– acid composed of hydrogen ions and oxyanions H+ + oxyanion • Formulas for Acids Ex) hydrochloric acid = HCl Ex) chloric acid = HClO3
Names that have the hydro- prefix and the -icsuffix are binary acids • Find the formula by treating it as if it were an ionic compound • Formulas for Binary Acids Ex) hydrochloric acid = HCl Ex) hydrosulfuric acid = H2S
Names with the following combinations of prefixes and suffixes are oxyacids: per-…-ic> -ic> -ous> hypo-…-ous • The type of oxyacid is determined by its anion per-…-ate > -ate > -ite> hypo-…-ite • Formulas for Oxyacids Ex)
Formulas for Oxyacids Ex) What is the formula for sulfuric acid? per-…-ic> -ic> -ous> hypo-…-ous per-…-ate > -ate > -ite> hypo-…-ite -ic -ate SO42- H2SO4
