Naming Ionic and Covalent Compounds

Compounds A compound is a substance composed of two or more elements combined in a specific ratio and held together by chemical bonds. Familiar examples of compounds are water and salt (sodium chloride).

Ionic Compounds and Bonding The resulting electrically neutral compound, sodium chloride, is represented with the chemical formula Na. Cl. The chemical formula, or simply formula, of an ionic compound denotes the constituent elements and the ratio in which they combine.

Naming Ions and Ionic Compounds A monatomic ion is named by changing the ending of the element’s name to –ide. Cl– is chloride O 2– is oxide Some metals can form cations of more than one possible charge. Fe 2+ : ferrous ion [Fe(II)] Fe 3+ : ferric ion [Fe(III)] Mn 2+ : manganese(II) ion Mn 3+ : manganese(III) ion Mn 4+ : manganese(IV) ion

Naming Ions and Ionic Compounds

Naming Ions and Ionic Compounds Formulas for ionic compounds are generally empirical formulas. Ionic compounds are electronically neutral.

Formulas of Ionic Compounds In order for ionic compounds to be electronically neutral, the sum of the charges on the cation and anion in each formula must be zero. Aluminum oxide: Al 3+ O 2– Al 2 O 3 Sum of charges: 2(+3) + 3(– 2) = 0

Formulas of Ionic Compounds

Naming Ions and Ionic Compounds To name ionic compounds: 1) Name the cation Ø omit the word ion Ø use a Roman numeral if the cation can have more than one charge 2) Name the anion Ø omit the word ion Examples: Na. CN sodium cyanide Fe. Cl 2 iron(II) chloride Fe. Cl 3 iron(III) chloride

5. 7 Covalent Bonding in Ionic Species Polyatomic ions consist of a combination of two or more atoms. Formulas are determined following the same rule as for ionic compounds containing only monatomic ions: ions must combine in a ratio that give a neutral formula overall. Calcium phosphate: Ca 2+ PO 43– Ca 3(PO 4)2 Sum of charges: 3(+2) + 2(– 3) = 0

Covalent Bonding in Ionic Species

Covalent Bonding in Ionic Species

Worked Example 5. 9 Name the following ionic compounds: (a) Fe 2(SO 4)3, (b) Al(OH)3, and (c) Hg 2 O. Strategy Begin by identifying the cation and anion in each compound, and then combine the names for each, eliminating the word ion. Solution (a) Fe 2(SO 4)3 is iron(III) sulfate. (b) Al(OH)3 is aluminum hydroxide. (c) Hg 2 O is mercury(I) oxide. Think About It Be careful not to confuse the subscript in the formula with the charge in the metal ion. In part (a), for example, the subscript on Fe is 2, but this is an iron(III) compound.

Covalent Bonding in Ionic Species Oxoanions are polyatomic anions that contain one or more oxygen atoms and one atom (the “central atom”) of another element. Starting with the oxoanions that end in –ate, we can name these ions as follows: 1) The ion with one more O atom than the –ate ion is called the per…ate ion. Thus, Cl. O 3 - is the chlorate ion, so Cl. O 4 - is the perchlorate ion. 2) The ion with one less O atom than the –ate ion is called the –ite ion. Thus, Cl. O 2 - is the chlorite ion. 3) The ion with two fewer O atom than the –ate ion is called the hypo…ite ion. Thus, Cl. O- is the hypochlorite ion. At minimum, memorize the oxoanions that end in –ate so you can apply these guidelines when necessary.

Worked Example 5. 10 Name the following species: (a) Br. O 4 -, (b) HCO 3 -, and (c) H 2 CO 3. Strategy Each species is either an oxoanion or an oxoacid. Identify the “reference oxidation” (the one with the –ate ending) for each, and apply the rules to determine appropriate names. Think It Remembering all these names and formulas Solution (a)About Br.

Worked Example 5. 11 Determine the formula of sulfurous acid. Strategy The –ous ending in the name of an acid indicates that the acid is derived from an oxoanion ending in –ite. The oxoanion must be sulfite, SO 32 -, so add enough hydrogen ions to make a neutral formula. Solution The formula of sulfurous acid is H 2 SO 3. Think About It Remembering all these names and formulas is greatly facilitated by memorizing the common ions that end in -ate.

Hydrates A hydrate is a compound that has a specific number of water molecules within its solid structure. For example, in its normal state, copper(II) sulfate has five water molecules associated with it. Systematic name: copper(II) sulfate pentahydrate Formula: Cu(SO)4 ∙ 5 H 2 O Some other hydrates are Ba. Cl 2 ∙ 2 H 2 O Li. Cl ∙ H 2 O Mg. SO 4 ∙ 7 H 2 O Sr(NO 3)2 ∙ 4 H 2 O

Hydrates When the water molecules are driven off by heating, the resulting compound, Cu(SO)4, is sometimes called anhydrous copper(II) sulfate. Anhydrous means the compound no longer has water molecules associated with it.

Covalent Bonding and Molecules

Covalent Bonding and Molecules A chemical formula denotes the composition of the substance. A molecular formula shows the exact number of atoms of each element in a molecule. Some elements have two or more distinct forms known as allotropes. Ø For example, oxygen (O 2) and ozone (O 3) are allotropes of oxygen. A structural formula shows not only the elemental composition, but also the general arrangements.

Covalent Bonding and Molecules Molecular substances can also be represented using empirical formulas, the whole-number ratio of elements. While, the molecular formulas tell us the actual number of atoms (the true formula), the empirical formula gives the simplest formula. Molecular formula: N 2 H 4 Empirical formula: NH 2 The molecular and empirical formulas are often the same.

Covalent Bonding and Molecules

5. 6 Naming Molecular Compounds Remember that binary molecular compounds are substances that consist of just two different elements. Nomenclature: 1) Name the first element that appears in the formula. 2) Name the second element that appears in the formula, changing its ending to –ide. Examples: HCl HI hydrogen chloride hydrogen iodide

Naming Molecular Compounds Greek prefixes are used to denote the number of atoms of each element present.

Naming Molecular Compounds The prefix mono- is generally omitted for the first element. For ease of pronunciation, we usually eliminate the last letter of a prefix that ends in “o” or “a” when naming an oxide. Example: N 2 O 5 is dinitrogen pentoxide not dinitrogen pentaoxide

Worked Example 5. 7 Name the following binary molecular compounds: (a) NF 3 and (b) N 2 O 4. Strategy Each compound will be named using the systematic nomenclature including, where necessary, appropriate Greek prefixes. Solution (a) nitrogen trifluoride (b) dinitrogen tetroxide Think About It Make sure that the prefixes match the subscripts in the molecular formulas and that the word oxide is not preceded immediately by an “a” or an “o”.

Worked Example 5. 8 Write the chemical formulas for the following binary molecular compounds: (a) sulfur tetrafluoride and (b) tetraphosphorus decasulfide. Strategy The formula for each compound will be deduced using the systematic nomenclature guidelines. Solution (a) SF 4 (b) P 4 S 10 Think About It Double-check that the subscripts in the formulas match the prefixes in the compound names: (a) 4 = tetra and (b) 4 = tetra and 10 = deca.

Compounds Containing Hydrogen The names of molecular compounds containing hydrogen do not usually conform to the systematic nomenclature guidelines. Many are called by the common, nonsystematic names or by names that do not indicate explicitly the number of H atoms present. Examples: B 2 H 6 Si. H 4 NH 3 PH 3 H 2 O H 2 S Diborane Silane Ammonia Phosphine Water Hydrogen sulfide

Compounds Containing Hydrogen One definition of an acid is a substance that produces hydrogen ions (H+) when dissolved in water. HCl is an example of a binary compound that is an acid when dissolved in water. To name these types of acids: 1) remove the –gen ending from hydrogen 2) change the –ide ending on the second element to –ic. hydrogen chloride → hydrochloric acid

Compounds Containing Hydrogen A compound must contain at least one ionizable hydrogen atom to be an acid upon dissolving.

Organic Compounds Our nomenclature discussion so far has focused on inorganic compounds, generally defined as those without carbon. Organic compounds contain carbon and hydrogen, sometimes in combination with other atoms. Hydrocarbons contain only carbon and hydrogen. The simplest hydrocarbons are called alkanes.

Organic Compounds

Organic Compounds Many organic compounds contain groups of atoms known as functional groups, which often determine a molecule’s reactivity.

A molecule is an aggregate of two or more atoms in a definite arrangement held together by chemical bonds H 2 O NH 3 CH 4 A diatomic molecule contains only two atoms H 2, N 2, O 2, Br 2, HCl, CO A polyatomic molecule contains more than two atoms O 3, H 2 O, NH 3, CH 4

Writing Chemical Formals There are 7 elements that occur in nature as a diatomic molecule One way to remember these elements is: Mr. Br. INCl. HOF

A monatomic ion contains only one atom Na+, Cl-, Ca 2+, O 2 -, Al 3+, N 3 - A polyatomic ion contains more than one atom OH-, CN-, NH 4+, NO 3 -

Guidelines for Writing Chemical Formulas for Binary Compounds 1. Except for Hydrogen, the element farther to the left in the periodic table appears first. Ie: KCl, PCl 3, Al 2 S 3, and Fe 3 O 4 2. If hydrogen is present, it appears last except when the other element is from group 16 or 17. Ie: Li. H, NH 3, B 2 H 6, CH 4 H 2 O, HCl and HI 3. If both elements are from the same group, the lower one appears first. Ie: Si. C and Br. F 3

A molecular formula shows the exact number of atoms of each element in the smallest unit of a substance An empirical formula shows the simplest whole-number ratio of the atoms in a substance molecular empirical H 2 O C 6 H 12 O 6 CH 2 O O 3 O N 2 H 4 NH 2
