Chemistry 111/112 Chapter Nine: Chemical Names and Formulas
Naming Ions • Ions form ionic compounds – mainly monatomic ions which consist of a single atom with a positive or negative charge • Metals tend to lose e-, forming a positive ion (cation) • When atoms gain e-, they become a negative ion (anion) • Their name is changed using the suffix –ide
Ions of Transition Metals • Many form cations with more than one charge • The charge is determined by the number of e- lost • When naming these ions, use Roman numerals to determine which charge is being used • When a transition metal only has one charge, Roman numerals do not have to be used • Table 9.2, p. 255
Polyatomic Ions • These ions are composed of more than one atom but only have one overall charge • They behave as a unit and are not separated • Most of their suffixes are –ite or –ate • When they form ionic compounds, the ending of their name does not change • Table 9.3, p. 257
Naming Binary Ionic Compounds • A binary compound is composed of two elements and can either be ionic or molecular • If it is ionic and you know its formula, you can write its name • Always begins with the cation • The name does not change • If there is more than one charge, indicate it with a Roman numeral • Always ends with a nonmetallic anion • The name ends in –ide
Writing Formulas for Binary Ionic Compounds • If you know the name, you can write its formula • Write the symbol of the cation with the charge • Do the same thing for the anion • Criss cross the charges • Reduce to lowest terms
Example • Write the name of the following compounds: CaCl2 Fe2O3 • Write the formula of the following compounds: barium sulfide nickel (II) fluoride Q. 10 - 11, page 263; Q. 12 – 13, page 265
Naming Compounds with Polyatomic Ions • When a compound’s formula has more than two capital letters • Identify the polyatomic ion • Name the metallic cation • Name the nonmetallic anion – do not change its ending • Ex. LiCN = lithium cyanide, NH4OH = ammonium hydroxide, CaCO3 = calcium carbonate
