Chemical Nomenclature A system of naming compounds.
Binary Compounds Binarymeans 2. Binary Cmpds are cmpds containing only 2 elements.
2 Types of Binary Compounds • Binary Ionic Compounds • Binary Covalent/Molecular Compounds
2 Types of Binary Cmpds Binary Ionic Cmpds • Cmpds containing 1 metal and 1 nonmetal. • Formed when electrons are transferred from the metal to the nonmetal. • Formed by the electrostatic attraction between cations and anions.
Binary Covalent (Molecular) Cmpds • Cmpds containing 2 nonmetals. • Formed by the sharing of electrons between the nonmetals. • There are no ions present in these cmpds.
Binary Covalent Compounds Cmpds containing only 2nonmetals
The first element in the formula is named first, and the full element name is used. • The second element is named as though it were an anion (with –ide suffix). • Prefixes are used to denote the numbers of atoms present. • The prefix mono- is never used on the first element.
Mono- Di- Tri- Tetra- Penta- Hexa- Hepta- Octa- Nona- Deca- Prefixes
Anion Names • C • N • O • F • P • S • Cl • As • Se • Br • Te • I • H
H2O • You can no longer name this water.
Writing Chemical Formulas • The prefixes tell you the subscripts to write in the chemical formula.
Binary Ionic Cmpds • Cmpds containing 1 metal and 1 nonmetal. • Formed when electrons are transferred from the metal to the nonmetal. • Formed by the electrostatic attraction between cations and anions.
Binary Ionic Cmpds • Contain only 2 elements (metal and nonmetal) • Metal Cation – Always written 1st in formula • Nonmetal Anion – Always written last
Type I Ionic Cmpds • The metal present forms only one type of cation. • These are considered true metals because they have a constant charge.
Remember Charges • Alkali Metals • Alkaline Earth Metals • Nitrogen Family Nonmetals • Oxygen Family Nonmetals • Halogens • Noble Gases • Special Ions (Transition Metals)
Naming Type I Cmpds • Name cation first • Name anion last (with -ide ending)
NaCl • Na + is the sodium ion • Cl – is the chloride ion Sodium chloride You may capitalize the first letter of the first name only. You never capitalize the first letter of the second name.
Write the correctchemical formulafor each Type I ionic compound. ↓
Write the correct symbol for each ion. • The algebraic sum of all positive and negative charges must equal zero. • Simply “cross” the charges.
Calcium chloride • Aluminum oxide • Potassium bromide
Calcium oxide • Magnesium nitride • Strontium bromide
Sodium sulfide • Lithium arsenide
Type II Ionic Cmpds • The metal present can form two or more cations that have different charges. • Contain a transition metal with variable charges.
Copper Cu + or Cu 2+ Chromium Cr 2+ or Cr 3+
AuCl and AuCl3 • We can’t name both cmpds gold chloride. • We use (Roman Numerals) to specify the charge on the metal cation (not the number of ions present in the cmpd).
