COVALENT
Consists only of nonmetals
IONIC
Consists of a metal and nonmetal
ACIDIC
First element is H (except for h2o)
How do you name ionic compounds?
1. Write the name of the cation in the formula (the cation is the one that appears first).
2. Write the name of the anion but change the ending to –ide.
Name NaCl
Sodium chloride
How do you write a formula for an ionic compound?
- Write the symbol for the cation showing its charge.
- Write the symbol for the anion (could be an element or a polyatomic ion) showing its charge.
- Use the criss-cross method to balance the charges. Divide by their largest common factor to give the
smallest whole-number ratio of ions.
Write the formula for sodium nitrate.
NaNO3
Name all the numerical prefixes
1 mono 2 di 3 tri 4 tetra 5 penta 6 hexa 7 hepta 8 octa 9 nona 10 deca
How do you name a molecular covalent compound?
- Name the element that appears first. Attach the prefix based on the subscript of that element (exception - do not use mono if there is just one atom of the first element).
- Name the second element, changing the ending to –ide. Attach the prefix that corresponds with the subscript.
What is a ternary ionic compound?
Ternary ionic compounds are compounds that consist of one type of metal and a polyatomic ion
How do you name ternary ionic compounds?
- Write the name of the cation in the formula (the cation is the one that appears first).
- Write the name of the polyatomic ion (DO NOT CHANGE THE ENDING!!!)
Name Be(ClO3)2
Beryllium chlorate
Name the 5 cation charge changes
Copper Cu+1 Cu+2 Copper(I) Copper(II) Chromium Cr+2 Cr+3 Chromium(II) Chromium(III) Iron Fe+2 Fe+3 Iron(II) Iron(III) Lead Pb+2 Pb+4 Lead(II) Lead(IV) Tin Sn+2 Sn+4
Name Cl2O
Dichlorine monoxide
name NF3
nitrogen trifluoride
What are binary acids?
Binary Acids - acid containing two elements; one is hydrogen and the other is a different element
What are oxyacids?
Oxyacids - acids that contain hydrogen, oxygen, and a third element
How do you name a binary acid?
Binary acids are named by adding the prefix hydro- and changing the suffix of -ide to -ic and adding the word acid to the end.
Name • HCl
binary) Hydrochloric acid
How do you name oxyacids?
Oxyacids are named based on the ending of the polyatomic ion it contains. If the ending is -ate, change the ending to -ic acid. If the ending is -ite, change it to –ous acid.
Name • HClO3
• HClO3 (oxyacid) Chloric acid
