Chapter 6 Ionic and Molecular Compounds 6.2 Writing Formulas for Ionic Compounds Learning Goal Using charge balance,write the correct formula for an ionic compound.
Chemical Formulas of Ionic Compounds The sum of the ionic charges is always zero.
Writing Ionic Formulas from Ionic Charges To write the formula of a compound that contains Na+ and S2− • metal ions are written first, followed by an ion from a nonmetal • two Na+ ions needed for charge balance are represented using a subscript in the formula • the subscript for the nonmetal S2− is 1 (it is understood and not written in the formula)
Learning Check Select the correct formula for each of the following ionic compounds: A. Li+ and O2− (1) LiO (2) Li2O (3) LiO2 B. Al3+ and Cl− (1) AlCl3 (2) AlCl (3) Al3Cl C. Mg2+ and N3− (1) MgN (2) Mg2N3 (3) Mg3N2
Solution Select the correct formula for each of the following ionic compounds: A. Li+ and O2− (2) Li2O B. Al3+ and Cl− (1) AlCl3 C. Mg2+ and N3− (3) Mg3N2
Chapter 6 Ionic and Molecular Compounds 6.3 Naming Ionic Compounds Learning Goal Given the formula of anionic compound, write the correct name;given the name of an ionic compound,write the correct formula.
Naming Ionic Compounds The name of an ionic compound has two components: • the name of the metal ion which is written first and is the same as its elemental name • the name of the nonmetal ion which is written last by using the first syllable of its element name followed by ide A space separates the name of the metal and nonmetal.
Guide to Naming Ionic Compounds with Metals That Form a Single Ion
Learning Check Select the correct name for each of the following ionic compounds. • CaS (1) calcium sulfur (2) calcide sulfur (3) calcium sulfide B. K2O (1) dipotassium oxide (2) potassium oxide (3) potassium oxygen
Solution Select the correct name for each of the following ionic compounds. A. CaS (3) calcium sulfide B. K2O (2) potassium oxide
Metals with Variable Charges For metals that form two or more different ions, a Roman numeral equal to the ionic charge is written in parentheses after the metal name. For example, • Fe2+ is named iron(II) • Fe3+ is named iron(III) • Cu+ is named copper(I)
Naming Compounds with VariableCharge Metals Step 1 Determine the charge of the cation from the anion.
Naming Compounds with VariableCharge Metals Step 2 Name the cation by its element name, and use a Roman numeral in parentheses for the charge. Iron(III) Step 3 Name the anion by using the first syllable of its element name followed by ide. oxide
Naming Compounds with VariableCharge Metals Step 4 Write the name for the cation first and the name for the anion second. Iron(III) oxide

Chapter 6 Ionic and Molecular Compounds 6.5 Molecular Compounds: Sharing Electrons Learning Goal Given the formula of amolecular compound, write its correctname; given the name of a molecularcompound, write its formula.
Learning Check Name the compound NCl3.
Solution Name the compound NCl3. Step 1 Name the first nonmetal by its elemental name. In NCl3, the first nonmetal (N) is nitrogen. Step 2Name the second nonmetal by using the first syllable of its element name followed by ide. The second nonmetal (Cl) is chloride.
Solution Name the compound NCl3. Step 3 Add prefixes to indicate the number of atoms (subscripts). Because there is one nitrogen atom, no prefix is needed. The subscript 3 for the Cl atoms is written as the prefix tri. The name of NCl3 is nitrogen trichloride.
