Types of Compounds: Basic Concepts Topic 7 Hydrates • Hydrates • Diatomic: Molecular Elements • Naming Molecules
Types of Compounds: Basic Concepts Topic 7 Hydrates • Many ionic compounds are prepared by crystallization from a water solution, and water molecules become a part of the crystal. • A compound in which there is a specific ratio of water to ionic compound is called a hydrate. • In a hydrate, the water molecules are chemically bonded to the ionic compound.
Types of Compounds: Basic Concepts Topic 7 Hydrates • Some ionic compounds can easily become hydrates by absorbing water molecules from water vapor in the air. • These compounds are called hygroscopicsubstances, and one example is sodium carbonate (Na2CO3). • In a hydrate, the water molecules are chemically bonded to the ionic compound.
Types of Compounds: Basic Concepts Topic 7 Hydrates • Substances that are so hygroscopic that they take up enough water from the air to dissolve completely and form a liquid solution are called deliquescent.
Types of Compounds: Basic Concepts Topic 7 Hydrates • To write the formula for a hydrate, write the formula for the compound and then place a dot followed by the number of water molecules per formula unit of compound. • The dot in the formula represents a ratio of compound formula units to water molecules. • For example, CaSO4 • 2H20 is the formula for a hydrate of calcium sulfate that contains two molecules of water for each formula unit of calcium sulfate.
Types of Compounds: Basic Concepts Topic 7 Hydrates • To name hydrates, follow the regular name for the compound with the word hydrate, to which a prefix has been added to indicate the number of water molecules present.
Types of Compounds: Basic Concepts Topic 7 Hydrates • The name of the compound with the formula CaSO4 • 2H2O is calcium sulfate dihydrate.
Types of Compounds: Basic Concepts Topic 7 Hydrates • Heating hydrates can drive off the water. • This results in the formation of an anhydrous compound—one in which all of the water has been removed. • In some cases, an anhydrous compound may have different color from that of its hydrate.
Types of Compounds: Basic Concepts Topic 7 Properties of Molecular Substances • You know that ionic compounds share many properties. • The properties of a molecularsubstance—a substance that has atoms held together by covalent rather than ionic bonds—are more variable than the properties of ionic compounds.
Types of Compounds: Basic Concepts Topic 7 Properties of Molecular Substances • Molecular substances usually have lower melting points, and most are not as hard as ionic compounds. • In addition, most molecular substances are less soluble in water than ionic compounds and are not electrolytes.
Types of Compounds: Basic Concepts Topic 7 Properties of Molecular Substances • A molecule that forms when atoms of the same element bond together is called a molecular element. • Note that molecular elements are not compounds—they contain atoms of only one element.
Types of Compounds: Basic Concepts Topic 7 Properties of Molecular Substances • When they bond together, each atom achieves the stability of a noble-gas electron configuration. • Seven nonmetal elements are found naturally as molecular elements of two identical atoms.
Types of Compounds: Basic Concepts Topic 7 Properties of Molecular Substances • The elements whose natural state is diatomic are: • hydrogen, • chlorine, • bromine, • nitrogen, • and iodine • oxygen, • fluorine, Memory Aide: HONCl BrIF
Types of Compounds: Basic Concepts Topic 7 Properties of Molecular Substances • Their formulas can be written as: • H2, • Cl2, • Br2, • N2, • and I2, respectively • O2, • F2,
Types of Compounds: Basic Concepts Topic 7 Properties of Molecular Substances • If two chlorine atoms combine, they share a single pair of electrons, and each atom attains a stable octet configuration.
Types of Compounds: Basic Concepts Topic 7 Properties of Molecular Substances • Two oxygen atoms share two pairs of electrons to form O2, and two nitrogen atoms share three pairs of electrons to form N2.
Types of Compounds: Basic Concepts Topic 7 Allotropes • Although the diatomic form of oxygen, O2, is most common in our atmosphere, oxygen also exists as O3—ozone. • The structure of ozone is different from that of diatomic oxygen. • It consists of three atoms of oxygen rather than the two atoms in diatomic oxygen.
Types of Compounds: Basic Concepts Topic 7 Allotropes • Molecules of a single element that differ in crystalline or molecular structure are called allotropes.
Types of Compounds: Basic Concepts Topic 7 Allotropes • The properties of allotropes are usually different even though they contain the same element. • This is because structure can be more important than composition in determining properties of molecules.
Types of Compounds: Basic Concepts Topic 7 Allotropes • Phosphorus has three common allotropes: white, red, and black. • All are formed from P4 molecules that are joined in different ways, giving each allotrope a unique structure and properties.
Types of Compounds: Basic Concepts Topic 7 Formulas and Names of Molecular Compounds • Chemists have devised a naming system for molecular compounds that is based on a much smaller number of rules than there are compounds. • Substances are either organic or inorganic. Compounds that contain carbon, with a few exceptions, are classified as organic compounds.
Types of Compounds: Basic Concepts Topic 7 Formulas and Names of Molecular Compounds • Compounds that do not contain carbon are called inorganic compounds. • To name these compounds, write out the name of the first nonmetal and follow it by the name of the second nonmetal with its ending changed to -ide.
Types of Compounds: Basic Concepts Topic 7 Naming Organic Compounds • You have learned that most compounds that contain carbon are organic compounds. • Organic compounds make up the largest class of molecular compounds known. • This is because carbon is able to bond to other carbon atoms in rings and chains of many sizes.
Types of Compounds: Basic Concepts Topic 7 Naming Organic Compounds • The name of even the most complex organic compound is based on the name of a hydrocarbon, an organic compound that contains only the elements hydrogen and carbon.
