CHEMICAL FORMULAS • Chemical Formula- represents a compound which includes the symbols and numbers of atoms • Subscript: a number in a chemical formula that shows the number of a type of atom • i. e. H20
BINARY COMPOUNDS • “Binary” means only 2 elements
Cations Positively Charged Atoms i.e. Na+ Anions Negatively Charged Atoms i.e. Cl- Ions
Group I > 1+ Group II > 2+ Group III > 3+ Group IV > 4+ IONIC CHARGES
Group V > 3- Group VI > 2- Group VII > 1- Group VIII > Noble Gases IONIC CHARGES
Ionic Compounds • composed of positive and negative ions. • usually formed from a metal and non-metal. • these elements arenot attached to one another.
• Examples of Ionic Compounds NaCl CaBr2 KI
FOR IONIC BONDS: • A formula needs to be written in the lowest whole number ratio. • i.e. Na2Cl2> NaCl
Covalent Compounds Covalent Compounds • molecules in which elements shareelectrons. • usually composed of 2 nonmetals. • these elements are attached
TYPES OF COMPOUNDS Covalent Compounds •Examples CS2 SiO2 BF3
Naming Binary Covalent Compounds Prefixes are used to show how many atoms are present in each molecule. Mono=1, di=2, tri=3, tetra=4, penta=5, hexa=6, hepta=7, octa=8, nona=9, deca=10
What word comes First in Covalent • Rule 1. (LEFT TO RIGHT) The element with the lower group number is written first in the name; the element with the higher group number is written second in the name. • Exception: when the compound contains oxygen and a halogen, the name of the halogen is the first word in the name. • Rule 2. (BOTTOM TO TOP) If both elements are in the same group, the element with the higher period number is written first in the name.
Step 1: Determine if Ionic or Covalent IF IONIC: IF COVALENT: EXCEPTION:Mono not used on 1st Word
