Writing Ionic Formulas SHORT CUT From Lewis structures, we were able to predict ionic formulas. Because compounds are electrically neutral, one can determine the formula of a compound this simpler way: The charge on the cation becomes the subscript on the anion. The charge on the anion becomes the subscript on the cation. If these subscripts are not in the lowest whole-number ratio, divide them by the greatest common factor. Switch, Drop and Reduce
Writing Ionic Formulas Practice Predict ionic compounds that form using the exponent switch drop and reduce process to create a neutral formula. Formula always written with cation (metal) first Ex: compound formed by barium and chlorine Ex: compound formed by aluminum and oxygen
Writing Ionic Formulas Practice (cont) Ex: compound formed by sulfur and sodium Ex: compound formed by Fe+2 and oxygen Ex: compound formed by barium and hydroxide Use parentheses anytime you need more than one of a polyatomic ion
Chemical nomenclature overview Goal is to be able to write the formula of a named compound and to name a compound when given its formula. There are 7 nomenclature rules needed to learn this skill. 3 ionic rules (today) 1 covalent rule (next time) 3 acid rules (next time)
Three types of ionic compounds Type 1 - Binary compound (contains only two elements) and cation charge is known because atom can form only one type of ion. Metal forms only one type of ion: Groups 1A, 2A, Al3+, Ga3+, Zn2+, Cd2+, and Ag+ Type 2 Binary compound with variable charge cations. Transition metals and representative metals. Type 3 Polyatomic ion compound contains three or more elements contained within one or two polyatomic ions.
Type 1 Ionic Compounds Formed by electron transfer from a metal to a nonmetal Metal forms only one type of ion: Groups 1A, 2A, Al3+, Ga3+, Zn2+, Cd2+, and Ag+ Name as metal nonmetalide Name sodium chloride calcium oxide lithium fluoride beryllium nitride Formula Formula KBr Al2O3 ZnI2 Ag2S Name
Type 2 Ionic compounds Transition Metals Most transition metals and group 13-16 metals form multiple ions. Cr, Fe and Co form 2+ and 3+ ions Cu forms 1+ and 2+ ions Sn, Pb form 2+ and 4+ ions Named as metal (roman numeral for charge on metal) nonmetalide Name lead (II) oxide tin (IV) fluride copper (I) bromide iron (III) selenide Formula Formula CuO Au2S CoP Cr3N2 Name
Type 3 Ionic compounds polyatomic ions Formula will have more than two elements Often includes oxygen Often includes () around a polyatomic ion Name as cation anion Name sodium carbonate tin (II) cyanide ammonium nitrate barium sulfate Formula Formula CuOH Mg(ClO2)2 FePO4 LiN02 Name
