E N D
Formulas • What types of elements are found in ionic compounds? • What holds the elements together? • Even though there are ions in ionic compounds, the overall compound must be neutral.
Electrolytes • What type of compounds are electrolytes? • Why are ionic compounds electrolytes? • Consider sodium chloride: • Is this an electrolyte? • Why? • Consider sucrose (sugar, C12H22O11): • Is this an electrolyte? • Why? • Consider ammonium chloride (NH4Cl): • Is this an electrolyte? • Why?
Conductivity of Ammonium Chloride • Why does it light up? • What type of bonding actually occurs in ammonium chloride? • Where are the ions in NH4Cl?
Two Types of Ions • Monatomic ions – ions made of a single atom. • Polyatomic ions – ions made of many atoms • Polyatomic ions can be found on your reference table.
Writing Ionic Formulas • A compound made from barium and phosphate ions. • Figure out the charges on the ions involved. • Ba2+ • PO43- • Find the lowest common multiple of the charges: • LCM of 2 and 3 is 6 • When you have 6 total positive charges and 6 total negative charges the compound will be neutral. • Determine the individual number of ions • To get 6 total positives you need 3 barium ions • To get 6 total negatives you need 2 phosphate ions • Write the formula with those numbers • Ba3(PO4)2
Writing Ionic Formulas • Write the formula of the following • A compound made from aluminum and hydroxide ions. • A compound made from magnesium and sulfur. • A compound made from strontium and nitrite ions.
Naming Ionic Compounds • Based on you already knowing the charges of the ions involved. • Does not tell you how many of each ion there are.
The Rules • Name the positive ion first • Na+ = sodium ion • (Leave a couple lines of blank space here) • Name the negative ion last • Change the name of a monatomic anion to have an –ide ending. • Polyatomic ions names are not changed
Practice Problems • Name the following: • BaCl2 • MgO • Na3P • Al2(SO4)3
Those Stupid d-Orbitals • Consider the following copper oxides: Cu2O CuO Determine the charge on the copper ions in both compounds.
Multi-valent metals • Most metal ions can have multiple stable charges because of the d-orbitals. • The ones that can’t are: • Group 1 • Group 2 • Silver (+1) • Zinc (+2) • Aluminum(+3) • For everything that can have a multiple charge you must specify the charge in the name. • Use Roman numerals to tell the charge.
The Rules • Name the positive ion first • Na+ = sodium ion • Specify the charge of all metal ions with a Roman numeral • Except Group 1, Group 2, Ag, Zn, Al • Name the negative ion last • Change the name of a monatomic anion to have an –ide ending. • Polyatomic ions names are not changed
Those Stupid d-Orbitals CuO Cu2O • Name the compounds above: • Black = copper(II) oxide • Red = copper(I) oxide • Remember the Roman numeral is the charge not the number of atoms.
Practice Problems • Name the following compounds • Fe2O3 • Co(NO3)2 • CaCO3 • NH4C2H3O2
Practice Problems • Name the following compounds • MnO2 • AgCl • CrN2 • W2O5
Practice Problems • Write the formulas for the following compounds: • Tin(IV) oxide • Aluminum chloride • Ammonium sulfide
Practice Problems • Write the formulas for the following compounds: • Potassium dichromate • Chromium(II) nitrate • Technetium(VII) oxide
