22.3 Notes Continued Part C
Objectives • Write formulas and names for covalent compounds
Covalent compounds • Made of just nonmetals • Share electrons • Smallest piece is a molecule • Can’t be held together because of opposite charges • Can’t use charges to figure out how many of each atom
Covalent/Molecular compounds • Ionic compounds use charges to determine how many of each element. • Molecular compounds name tells you the number of atoms. • Uses prefixes to tell you the number
Naming Covalent Compounds • Prefix element name Prefix element name-ide • The last vowel of the prefix is dropped when the second element begins with a vowel as in pentoxide • No double vowels when writing names (oa oo) • Often the prefix mono- is omitted from the first element when naming • Many times it is also omitted from 2nd element, though it is used for emphasis in some cases
Examples • Carbon dioxide – CO2 • Dihydrogen monoxide – H2O • Dinitrogren pentasulfide – N2S5 • Tricarbon tetrafluoride – C3F4
Name These • N2O • NO2 • Cl4O7 • NBr3 • BaCl5
Writing formulas for Covalent Compounds • Simply write the chemical symbol • Subscript is derived from the prefix • Mono = 1, di = 2, tri = 3, ect
Write formulas for these • diphosphorus pentoxide • tetraiodide nonoxide • sulfur hexaflouride • Carbon tetrahydride • phosphorus trifluoride
Hydrates • An ionic compound that has water chemically attached to its ions and written into its chemical formula
Hydrates pg. 708 • These same prefixes are used when naming the hydrates previously discussed. • The main ionic compound is named the regular way, but the number of water molecules in the hydrate is indicated by the Greek prefix. Chemical formula • # H2O
Hydrates • BeBr * 3 H2O • Calcium nitride hexahydrate
In-Class Assignment/Homework • Finish naming Molecular Compounds WKT • Naming practice on the board
