Molecular Compounds Writing names and Formulas (p. 212 – 213)
Molecular compounds • formed between nonmetals • smallest electrically neutral unit of the molecular compound that still has the properties of the molecular compound is a molecule
Learning Check Indicate whether a bond between the following would be 1) Ionic 2) covalent ____ A. sodium and oxygen ____ B. nitrogen and oxygen ____ C. phosphorus and chlorine ____ D. calcium and sulfur ____ E. chlorine and bromine
Solution Indicate whether a bond between the following would be 1) Ionic 2) covalent 1 A. sodium and oxygen 2 B. nitrogen and oxygen 2 C. phosphorus and chlorine 1 D. calcium and sulfur 2 E. chlorine and bromine
For ionic compounds, charges are used to determine how many atoms of each element will combine. • For molecular compounds, the prefixes in the name indicates the number of atoms.
Molecular Nomenclature (binary compounds) 1. Less e-neg atom usually written first. • Add prefixes to indicate # of atoms. Omit mono- prefix on first element. 3. No double vowels when writing names (oa oo) 4. Change the ending of the second element to -ide.
