Chemical Formulas • A chemical formula is a shorthand way to use chemical symbols

Chemical Formulas • A chemical formula is a shorthand way to use chemical symbols and numbers to represent a substance. C 6 H 12 O 6 Glucose • A subscript is a number written below and to the right. – It tells how many atoms are in this molecule. – If there is no subscript, then there is just one atom.

Some Basic Rules • When you have two elements, you have two words in

Some Basic Rules • When you have two elements, you have two words in the name • The first word is the first element. • The second word is the second element.

Continued • The second word also ends in “IDE”. • Like oxygen becomes oxide.

Continued • The second word also ends in “IDE”. • Like oxygen becomes oxide.

Writing Formulas for COVALENT COMPOUNDS • Covalent compounds are often composed of nonmetals. •

Writing Formulas for COVALENT COMPOUNDS • Covalent compounds are often composed of nonmetals. • The names of many covalent compounds use prefixes. • Example: Carbon Dioxide & Dinitrogen monoxide CO 2 N 2 O

Here are the first ten prefixes: Prefixes Used in Chemical Names Mono 1 Hexa

Here are the first ten prefixes: Prefixes Used in Chemical Names Mono 1 Hexa 6 Di- 2 Hepta- 7 Tri- 3 Octa- 8 Tetra- 4 Nona- 9 Penta- 5 Deca- 10

Writing Formulas Covalent Compounds • Use the name of compound to write its formula

Writing Formulas Covalent Compounds • Use the name of compound to write its formula • Ex: Carbon Dioxide • No prefix on first atom indicates 1 atom • The prefix di indicates 2 oxygen atoms= CO 2 • Prefixes always used on second atom C 0 = carbon monoxide • What is the formula for dinitrogen trioxide? • ––> N 2 O 3

More Practice • • 1. 2. 3. 4. Dihydrogen monoxide Silicon dioxide Carbon monoxide

More Practice • • 1. 2. 3. 4. Dihydrogen monoxide Silicon dioxide Carbon monoxide Hydrogen bromide H 2 O Si. O 2 CO HBr
