Chemical Formulas and Naming • Molecular Formula: • Elements’ Symbols = atoms • Subscripts = relative numbers of atoms • How are compounds named? Ca. Cl 2 CCl 4 Na. OH (NH 4)2 CO 3 C 20 H 26 N 2 O (Ibogaine)

Nomenclature • Nomenclature: the naming of compounds • Governed by the IUPAC: International Union of Pure and Applied Chemistry • International rules are updated periodically • General schemes and examples follow:

Naming Compounds Binary Ionic Compounds: For example; Ca. Cl 2 • Name cation first, then anion • Monatomic cation = name of the element • Ca 2+ = calcium ion • Anion = root + -ide • Cl = chlorine Ca. Cl 2 = calcium chloride

Common Monatomic Cations and Anions

Common Cations and Anions

QUESTION

ANSWER D) lithium chloride. Lithium is a Group IA metal, so it always forms a +1 ion. Therefore, no roman numeral is necessary.

Naming Compounds (continued) Binary Ionic Compounds (Type II): • metal forms more than one cation: Pb 2+ or possibly Pb 4+ ? Ambiguous? • option 1) use Roman numeral in name • If Pb 2+ is the cation; eg. Pb. Cl 2 : • Pb. Cl 2 = lead (II) chloride • or 2) use name (latinized) + suffix: -ous (lower) or -ic (higher) Plumbum Plumbous

Common Type II Cations

Naming Compounds (continued) Binary compounds (Type III): • • Compounds formed between two nonmetals First element in the formula is named first. It is the more electropositive. • Second element is named as if it were an anion. • Use prefixes to count the # of atoms. • Do not normally use mono as a prefix. - • P 2 O 5 = diphosphorus pentoxide

QUESTION

ANSWER B) iron (II) oxide. Iron is a transition metal that forms more than one type of ion. A roman numeral is needed to indicate which ion is present in the compound.
