Presentation Transcript

  1. Names & Formulas of Ionic Compounds • Ionic compounds are named using the names of the ions that compose them. Cation name followed by anion name • Learn the names and formulas of the ions in your syllabus. • The following slides explain the systematic way that ions are named.

  2. Naming Cations • Cations formed by a metal have the same name as the metal. K+ potassium ion Ca2+ calcium ion Al3+ aluminum ion • If a metal forms more than one cation, use Roman numerals in ( ) after the name of the metal Fe2+ iron (II) ion Fe3+ iron (III) ion Cu+ copper (I) ion Cu2+ copper (II) ion

  3. Naming Cations • One common polyatomic cation found in ionic compounds NH4+ ammonium ion • Note: Compounds whose formulas start with NH4 are ionic even though they are composed only of non-metals.

  4. Naming Anions • Monoatomic anions • drop the ending of the element’s name • add “ide” N nitrogen O oxygen N3- O2- nitride oxide

  5. Naming Anions • Some simple polyatomic anions use the “ide” ending as well OH- hydroxide CN- cyanide O22- peroxide

  6. Naming Oxyanions • Oxyanions (polyatomic anions containing oxygen) drop the ending of the central atom name and add: • “ate” most common oxyanion of the element • “ite” 1 less oxygen NO3- nitrateSO42- sulfate NO2- nitrite SO32- sulfite CO32- carbonatePO43- phosphate PO33- phosphite

  7. 3A 4A 5A 6A 7A Noble gases Oxyanions “ate” oxyanions to memorize

  8. Oxyanions (cont.) • Some elements like the halogens can form more than two oxyanions: • “per” 1 more O than the “ate” oxyanion • “hypo” 1 less O than the “ite” oxyanion ClO4- perchlorate most oxygens ClO3- chlorate most common ClO2- chlorite 1 less O ClO- hypochlorite fewest oxygens

  9. Oxyanions • Anions derived by adding H+ to an oxyanion: • add “hydrogen” or “dihydrogen” as prefix to oxyanion name CO32- carbonate HCO3- hydrogen carbonate (usually called bicarbonate) PO43- phosphate H2 PO4- dihydrogen phosphate

  10. Naming Ionic Compounds • Name ionic compounds using cation name followed by anion name NaCl sodium chloride CaBr2 calcium bromide NaClO sodium hypochlorite Cu(NO3)2 copper (II) nitrate

  11. Naming Ionic Compounds Example: Write the names of these ionic compounds. • Na2SO4 • FeCl3 • (NH4)3PO4 • KClO4 • Cu2CO3 • SnO2

  12. Writing Formulas from Names • Given the name of a compound, you must be able to write its formula. • Identify the symbol and charge for each ion. • Determine the correct number of each ion needed to balance the charges (write an electrically neutral formula).

  13. Writing Formulas from Names Example: Write the formula for: • Ammonium sulfate • Magnesium hydroxide • Barium nitrate • Potassium bromate • Iron (II) phosphate • Sodium bicarbonate • Lead (IV) sulfite

  14. Common “Household” Chemicals • You are responsible for knowing the names and formulas for the chemical present in: • Baking soda • sodium bicarbonate • NaHCO3 • Table salt • Sodium chloride • NaCl • Bleach • Sodium hypochlorite • NaClO or NaOCl
