  1. Chapter 19 Chemical Bonds Lesson 3 Part 2

  2. Binary Ionic Compounds Binary ionic compounds. composed of two elements. Before you can write a formula, you must have all the needed information at your fingertips. elements are involved and what number of electrons they lose, gain, or share

  3. Binary Ionic Compounds Oxidation number how many electrons an atom has gained, or shared to become stable. ionic compounds the oxidation number is the same as the charge on the ion. For example sodium ion has a charge of 1+ and an oxidation number of 1+.

  4. Oxidation Numbers The elements more than one oxidation number. Naming compounds oxidation number is expressed in the name with a roman numeral the oxidation number of iron in iron (III) oxide is 3+.

  5. Compounds Are Neutral Writing formulas the individual ions in a compound carry charges, the compound itself is neutral. must have the right number of positive ions and the right number of negative ions so the charges balance.

  6. Compounds Are Neutral Calcium fluoride calcium ion has a charge of 2+ and a fluoride ion has a charge of 1 −. two fluoride ions for every calcium ion C2+ F1- Cris-cross and drop charges cancel and the compound is neutral with the formula CaF2.

  7. Writing Formulas Write the symbol of the element which has the positive oxidation number or charge Write the symbol of the element or polyatomic ion with the negative oxidation number. The charge (without the sign) of one ion becomes the subscript of the other ion.

  8. Naming Formulas Write the name of the positive ion. Check to see if the positive ion is capable of forming more than one oxidation number. If it is, determine the oxidation number of the ion from the formula of the compound.

  9. Writing Names Write the charge of the positive ion using roman numerals in parentheses after the ion’s name. If the ion has only one possible oxidation number, proceed to step 4

  10. Writing Names Write the root name of the negative ion. The root is the first part of the element’s name. Add the ending -ide to the root. The table lists several elements and their -ide counterparts.

  11. Writing Names Subscripts do not become part of the name for ionic compounds can be used to help determine the charges of the metals that have more than one positive charge

  12. Examples of naming for multiple charges
