  1. Notes:Writing Formulas & Naming Ionic Compounds

  2. Ionic Compounds • ions - atoms that have a positive or negative charge • Oxidation number – the charge that an ion has from the gain or los of electrons

  3. Ionic Compounds • Metallic elements tend to form ions by losing one or more electrons, giving them an overall positive charge. These are called cations.

  4. Ionic Compounds • Nonmetals tend to form ions by gaining one or more electrons, giving them an overall negative charge. These are called anions.

  5. Ionic Compounds • An ionic compound is formed of cations and anions, this means they are made from a metal and a nonmetal.

  6. Ionic Compounds • Anions and cations can also sometimes be made of groups of elements that carry an overall charge called polyatomic ions.

  7. Ionic Compounds • Though made from positively and negatively charged ions, an ionic compound is electrically neutral. • The total charge of all the ions in a compound is ZERO!!!

  8. Chemical Formulas • A chemical formula tells you the type and number of atoms in the representative unit of a compound.

  9. Writing Chemical Formulas 1) Write the symbol for the elements and their oxidation number, positive ion first (the metal). +2

  10. Writing Chemical Formulas 2) Criss cross the numbers and write them as subscripts without the signs. -1

  11. Writing Chemical Formulas 3) If there is a charge of one, do not write it. The one is implied.

  12. Writing Chemical Formulas 4) If you have subscripts that are multiples, reduce them down. 4 2

  13. Writing Chemical Formulas 5) If using polyatomic ions, put parentheses if there are more than one.

  14. Examples • Barium & chlorine • Potassium & Nitrogen • Lithium & Phosphate • Iron (III) & Nitrate • Manganese (IV) & Sulfur

  15. Naming Ionic Compounds For naming an ionic compound, 1) Name the metal. 2) Name the second element (the non-metal), but change the ending to –ide.

  16. Naming Ionic Compounds If there is a polyatomic ion instead of a single nonmetal, just name the polyatomic ion, don’t change the ending!

  17. Naming Ionic Compounds • Example: Na2O Sodium oxide • Example: MgCl2 Magnesium chloride • Example Na2CO3 Sodium carbonate

  18. Naming Ionic Compounds 3) If a positive ion (a metal) can have more than one oxidation number, you have to designate its charge in the name!

  19. Naming Ionic Compounds We do this by putting the charge as a Roman numeral in parenthesis between the positive and negative ion. Use the reverse criss cross method to determine what goes in parentheses.

  20. Naming Ionic Compounds • Example: Fe2O3 Iron (III) oxide • Example: FeO (remember, oxygen’s oxidation number is 2-) Iron (II) oxide

  21. Naming Ionic Compounds What elements that don’t need parentheses? 1) Group I, II and IIIA 2) Zn, Cd (always +2) 3) Ag (always +1)

  22. Naming Ionic Compounds Which means that transition metals do need parentheses!

  23. Naming Ionic Compounds • Name the negative ion and: • If a nonmetal end in -ide; if not, end normally (polyatomic ion).

  24. Name these: Na2S

  25. Name these: Na2S sodium sulfide

  26. Name these: Na2S sodium sulfide CuCl2

  27. Name these: Na2S sodium sulfide CuCl2 copper (II) chloride

  28. Name these: Na2S sodium sulfide CuCl2 copper (II) chloride K2SO4

  29. Name these: Na2S sodium sulfide CuCl2 copper (II) chloride K2SO4 potassium sulfate

  30. Name these: Na2S sodium sulfide CuCl2 copper (II) chloride K2SO4 potassium sulfate Pb(NO3)3

  31. Name these: Na2S sodium sulfide CuCl2 copper (II) chloride K2SO4 potassium sulfate Pb(NO3)3 lead (III) nitrate
