  1. Ionic Nomenclature Naming Ionic Compounds

  2. Ionic Compounds Review • Ionic compounds are made of positive and negative ions. • Also known as “salts”. • Polyatomic ions are groups of atoms that behave as a single ion: • Examples: • CO3-2 • CN-1 • SO4-2

  3. Naming Ionic Compounds • Two types of ionic compounds: • Binary, contains 2 elements • NaCl, MgBr2, Fe2O3 • Ternary, contains 3 elements • Two of the elements are in a polyatomic ion • NaNO3, NH4Cl, Cr2(SO4)3

  4. Naming Binary Ionic Compounds • Some metal ions have only one possible charge: • Group 1A metal ions all have +1 charge. • Group 2A metal ions all have +2 charge. • Ag+1, Zn+2, Cd+2, Al+3, Ga+3 • For fixed charge cations, name as element. • Na+1 = sodium ion • Ca+2 = calcium ion • Ag+1 = silver ion • Ga+3 = gallium ion • Name anion as stem of element’s name followed by suffix –ide. • Cl-1 = chloride ion • S-2 = sulfide ion • N-3 = nitride ion

  5. Fixed Charge Metal Ions Li+1 Be+2 Al+3 Na+1 Mg+2 K+1 Ca+2 Ga+3 Zn+2 Rb+1 Sr+2 Ag+1 Cd+2 Cs+1 Ba+2 Fr+1 Ra+2

  6. Naming Binary Ionic Compounds • NaCl • KBr • MgF2 • CaO • AgI • Al2S3 • Zn3P2 sodium chloride potassium bromide magnesium fluoride calcium oxide silver iodide aluminum sulfide zinc phosphide

  7. Naming Binary Ionic Compounds • Most metals can form multiple cations. • Iron can form Fe+2 ions or Fe+3 ions. • Copper can form Cu+1 ions or Cu+2 ions. • For variable charge cations, name as element w/ Roman numeral in ( ) to indicate charge. • Fe+2 = iron(II) ion • Fe+3 = iron(III) ion • Cu+1 = copper(I) ion • Cu+2 = copper(II) ion • Pb+2 = lead(II) ion • Pb+4 = lead(IV) ion

  8. Variable Charge Metal Ions

  9. Naming Binary Ionic Compounds • The compound must be electrically neutral. • Use the charge of the anion to figure out the charge of the metal. • Example: Fe2O3 • (2 x Fe) + (3 x -2) = neutral • (2 x Fe) – 6 = neutral • (2 x Fe) = +6 • Fe = +3 • iron(III) oxide • Example: FeO • Fe + -2 = neutral • Fe = +2 • iron(II) oxide

  10. Naming Binary Ionic Compounds • FeCl2 • Fe2Se3 • CuBr • CuS • CrO • CrI3 • PbF2 • PbS2 iron(II) chloride iron(III) selenide copper(I) bromide copper(II) sulfide chromium(II) oxide chromium(III) iodide lead(II) fluoride lead(IV) sulfide

  11. Naming Ternary Ionic Compounds • Name metal as you would for a binary, with charge as a Roman numeral if necessary. • Name polyatomic anions as themselves.Know these: • CO3-2 = carbonate • NO3-1 = nitrate • PO4-3 = phosphate • SO4-2 = sulfate • OH-1 = hydroxide • ClO-1 = hypochlorite • ClO3-1 = chlorate • C2H3O2-1 = acetate • CH3COO-1 = acetate • CN-1 = cyanide

  12. Naming Ternary Ionic Compounds • Only one polyatomic cation: • NH4+1 = ammonium • Name it, then name the anion properly.

  13. Naming Ternary Ionic Compounds • LiNO3 • Mg(OH)2 • Fe2(SO4)3 • Zn(C2H3O2)2 • AlPO4 • NH4Cl • Cr(CN)2 lithium nitrate magnesium hydroxide iron(III) sulfate zinc acetate aluminum phosphate ammonium chloride chromium(II) cyanide

  14. Writing Formulas From Names • To write an ionic formula from a name, write the ions with their proper charges, then criss-cross. • Don’t forget that polyatomic ions need parentheses if there’s more than one of them. • Write the formula for iron(III) hydroxide • iron(III) = Fe+3 • hydroxide = OH-1 • iron(III) hydroxide  Fe+3 + OH-1 Fe(OH)3 • Write the formula for potassium sulfate • potassium = K+1 • sulfate = SO4-2 • potassium sulfate  K+1 + SO4-2  K2SO4

  15. Writing Formulas From Names • calcium carbonate  • sodium oxide  • aluminum cyanide  • potassium acetate  • copper(II) hydroxide  • gold(III) sulfide  Ca+2 + CO3-2 Na+ + O-2 Al+3 + CN-1 K+1 + C2H3O2-1 Cu+2 + OH-1 Au+3 + S-2 CaCO3 Na2O Al(CN)3 KC2H3O2 Cu(OH)2 Au2S3
