6. 5 Covalent Compounds and Their names Covalent compounds= nonmetal + nonmetal, OR metalloid + nonmetal Electrons are SHARED to fulfill The octet rule 1 Basic Chemistry Copyright © 2011 Pearson Education, Inc.

Electron-Dot Formulas Electron-dot formulas show • the order of bonded atoms in a covalent compound • the bonding pairs of electrons between atoms • the unshared (lone pair) valence electrons • a central atom with an octet 2 Basic Chemistry Copyright © 2011 Pearson Education, Inc.

Electron-Dot Formulas and Models of Some Covalent Compounds (also called molecular compounds) Central atom Typically written FIRST (H 2 O is the exception) 3 Basic Chemistry Copyright © 2011 Pearson Education, Inc.

Names of Covalent Compounds Prefixes are used • in the names of covalent compounds • because two nonmetals can form two or more different compounds Examples of compounds of N and O: NO nitrogen monoxide (the book is wrong on this one) NO 2 nitrogen dioxide N 2 O dinitrogen monoxide (the book is wrong on this one) N 2 O 4 dinitrogen tetroxide N 2 O 5 dinitrogen pentoxide 4 Basic Chemistry Copyright © 2011 Pearson Education, Inc.

Naming Covalent Compounds To name the covalent compound SO 3, STEP 1 Name the first nonmetal by its element name. The element S is sulfur. STEP 2 Name the second nonmetal by using the first syllable of its element name followed by ide. O is named oxide. STEP 3 Add prefixes to indicate the number of atoms (subscripts). The subscript 3 of O is shown as the prefix tri. SO 3 → sulfur trioxide The subscript 1(for S) or mono is understood. 6 Basic Chemistry Copyright © 2011 Pearson Education, Inc.

Naming Covalent Compounds What is the name of P 4 S 3? STEP 1 Name the first nonmetal by its element name. P is named phosphorus. STEP 2 Name the second nonmetal by using the first syllable of its element name followed by ide. S is named sulfide. STEP 3 Add prefixes to indicate the number of atoms (subscripts). The subscript 4 of P is written as tetra. The subscript 3 of O is written as tri. P 4 S 3 → tetraphosphorus trisulfide 7 Basic Chemistry Copyright © 2011 Pearson Education, Inc.
