Understanding Naming and Writing Chemical Compounds

This guide provides insights on naming simple compounds formed by metals and non-metals. To name a compound, first identify the metal's name followed by the non-metal's name, changing its suffix to "-ide". Examples include magnesium oxide, sodium chloride, and iron oxide. It further explains how to write word equations to depict chemical reactions, showcasing reactants and products. Additionally, the importance of chemical formulas in indicating atom ratios in compounds like CO2 (carbon dioxide) and H2O (water) is highlighted.

Presentation Transcript

  1. Naming simple compounds To name simple compounds of metals and non-metals: 1. Write down the name of the metal. 2.Write down the name of the non-metal, changing the ending of the word to “-ide”. What is the name of the compound made when the following elements combine? • magnesium and oxygen • sodium and chlorine • oxygen and iron magnesium oxide sodium chloride iron oxide

  2. Naming simple compounds What is the name of each compound formed by these metal and non-metal elements? element 1 element 2 compound iron (Fe) sulfur (S) iron sulfide (FeS) magnesium (Mg) nitrogen (N) magnesium nitride (Mg3N2) sodium (Na) chlorine (Cl) sodium chloride (NaCl) tin (Sn) oxygen (O) tin oxide (SnO) aluminium (Al) bromine (Br) aluminium bromide (AlBr3) nickel (Ni) iodine (I) nickel iodide (NiI2) zinc (Zn) sulfur (S) zinc sulfide (ZnS) lithium (Li) nitrogen (N) lithium nitride (Li3N)

  3. Writing a word equation A word equation can be used to describe any chemical reaction. The steps for writing a word equation are: 1. On the right-hand side, put the name(s) of the reactant(s). If there are two or more reactants, link them with a +sign. 2. In the middle, draw an arrow (). 3. On the right-hand side, put the name(s) of the product(s). If there are two or more products, link them with a +sign. + + reactant 1 reactant 2  product 1 product 2

  4. Completing word equations

  5. Match the names and the formulae

  6. Writing a formula A formula uses the symbols of the elements in a compound. When there is more than one atom of an element, the number is always written after the symbol. carbon atoms = 1 oxygen atoms = 2 formula = CO2 carbon dioxide hydrogen atoms = 2 oxygen atoms = 1 formula = H2O water The formula shows the ratio of atoms in a compound.

  7. What is the ratio of atoms?
