Topic: Naming Ionic Compounds Do Now: Which element forms a compound with chlorine with the general formula MCl2(where M is your unknown element) A. Rb C. Na B. Mg D. Rn
Naming Binary Ionic Compounds there is a flow chart for you to use in the front of your packet 1. Always name metal (the cation/+ ion) first 2. Leave a space 3. Write stem of nonmetal (the anion/ - ion) and Add ending ide to nonmetal Binary = only 2 types of elements (two capital letters)
Stems of nonmetals Nitr Ox Fluor Phosph Sulf Chlor Arsen Selen Brom Hydr is the stem for H Tellur Iod
Metals with one oxidation state CaO BaS AlN LiCl Al2Se3 Na2O K3N MgF2 Calcium Oxide Barium Sulfide Aluminum Nitride Lithium Chloride Aluminum Selenide Sodium Oxide Potassium Nitride Magnesium Fluoride
The First Step in Naming Find metal on PT If metal has only one oxidation state it s easy If metal has more than one oxidation state, there s an extra step
Metals with more than 1 oxidation state Use formula to figure out which oxidation state metal ion has Ex: Fe can be Fe+2 or Fe+3 FeO vs Fe2O3 two different compounds so cannot both be called iron oxide so we have to use Roman Numeral to Tell which Fe (Fe+2 or Fe+3) we are using Iron (II) Oxide uses Fe+2 Irons (III) Oxide use Fe+3
When deterring Oxidation State of Metal being used, assigned the nonmetal it s oxidation number first (will be the top oxidation number from the PT)
FeO Compounds are electrically neutral Oxygen is -2 1 O which is -2 so Fe must be +2 FeO Name: Iron (II) oxide but means Iron (+2) Oxide (roman numeral II = charge on Fe is +2)
FeO and Fe2O3 Each O is -2 Each Fe is +3 Fe2O3 There are 3 O s 3 X (-2) = -6 Total negative charge Total positive charge must be +6 Name: Iron (III) oxide but means Iron (+3) Oxide (roman numeral III = charge on Fe is +3)
Name the following Titanium (III) chloride TiCl3 MnO2 Co2O3 PdBr2 AuCl3 MoN MnO TiO Manganese (IV) oxide Cobalt (III) oxide Palladium (II) bromide Gold (III) chloride Molybdenum (III) nitride Manganese (II) oxide Titanium (II) oxide
Summary for Binary Ionic Compounds Compounds are electrically neutral Formula: positive first If metal has more than 1 oxidation state, name has roman numeral (MOST ALL TRANSITION METALS need this) Name = metal + stem of nonmetal + ide
Naming compounds with polyatomics polyatomic ions have names (Table E) naming is parallel to binary naming positive always written first if (+) ve ion is a metal, check to see how many oxidation states it has if > 1 then name must have roman numeral if ( ) ve is polyatomic - 2nd part of name is name of polyatomic (don t modify ending)
Name the following Sodium hydroxide Potassium hydrogen carbonate Lithium nitrate Calcium sulfate Aluminum nitrate Iron (II) hydroxide Copper (II) sulfate Copper (I) thiocyanate NaOH KHCO3 LiNO3 CaSO4 Al(NO3)3 Fe(OH)2 CuSO4 CuSCN
