Presentation Transcript

  1. Covalent Compounds

  2. Ionic vs. Covalent Compound • Ionic Compounds • Between a metal and a non-metal • Transfers electrons • Covalent Compounds • Between a non-metal and a non-metal • Electrons are shared

  3. Covalent Compound Nitrogen = non-metal Oxygen = non-metal

  4. Hydrogen = non-metal Carbon = non-metal

  5. Naming Covalent Compounds Prefixes Prefixes 6 = hexa 7 = hepta 8 = octa 9 = nona 10 = deca • 1 = mono • 2 = di • 3 = tri • 4 = tetra • 5 = penta

  6. Naming Example Oxygen = non-metal Carbon = non-metal Have 2 oxygens CO2 2 = di Name (in the order they appear) Carbon dioxide Change to “ide”

  7. Naming Example Oxygen = non-metal Phosphorus = non-metal Have 10 oxygens P4O10 10 = deca Have 4 phosphorus’ 4 = tetra Name (in the order they appear) Tetraphosphorus decaoxide Change to “ide”

  8. Formula Example C  only have 1 S  have 2 because it is “di” Carbon disulfide Formula (put them together in the order) CS2

  9. Formula Example C  have 2 (di) Cl  have 4 (tetra) Dicarbon tetrachloride Formula (put them together in the order) C2Cl4
