Ionic Reminder • Cation: A positive ion • Mg2+ NH4+ • Anion: A negative ion • Cl- SO42- Define: Polyatomic Ion- an ion made up of two or more elements covalently bonded.
Naming Ionic Compounds • cation= name of the element • Ca2+ = calcium ion • anion=root + -ide • Cl-=chloride ion • CaCl2 = calcium chloride
Naming Ionic Compounds(continued) • Many transition metals can form more than one cation • Use a Roman numeral to show the charge • I= 1 • II = 2 • III = 3 • IV = 4 • V= 5
Example: CuCl2 (Cu = Copper… can be eitherCu+1orCu+2) • CuCl2 = Copper(II) chloride • CuCl = Copper(I) chloride
Writing Ionic Compound Formulas Example: Aluminum sulfide 1. Find the charges for the cation & anion 2. Check to see if charges are balanced. 3. Balance charges Al3+ S2- Al2S3 2 3 Not balanced!
Writing Ionic Compound Formulas Example: Iron(III) Chloride 1. Find the charges for the cation & anion 2. Check to see if charges are balanced. 3. Balance charges Fe3+ Cl- 3 FeCl3 Not balanced!
Writing Ionic Compound Formulas Example: Magnesium carbonate 1. Find the charges for the cation & anion 2. Check to see if charges are balanced. Mg2+ CO32- MgCO3 They are balanced!
Writing Ionic Compound Formulas Example: Barium Nitrate 1. Find the charges for the cation & anion 2. Check to see if charges are balanced. 3. Balance charges Ba2+ ( ) NO3- 2 Ba(NO3)2 Not balanced!
Writing Ionic Compound Formulas Example: Zinc Hydroxide 1. Find the charges for the cation & anion 2. Check to see if charges are balanced. 3. Balance charges ( ) Zn2+ OH- Zn(OH)2 2 Not balanced!
Naming Covalent Compounds • Name the least electronegative element first • If there is only one atom, DO NOT use the prefix “mono”. • If there is more than one, DO use a prefix. • Name the more electronegative element next. • Use a prefix EVERYTIME on the second element!
List of Prefixes(For Covalent Compounds only!) • 1 = mono • 2 = di • 3 = tri • 4 = tetra • 5 = penta • 6 = hexa • 7 = hepta • 8 = octa • 9 = nona • 10 = deka
Naming Covalent Compounds P2O5= diphosphoruspentoxide CO2 = carbon dioxide CO = carbon monoxide N2O = dinitrogenmonoxide
