Polyatomic Ion Nomenclature -ate endings (9 of them) all end with oxygen Original Polyatomic Ion Remove 1 Oxygen: ____-ite Remove 2 Oxygen: hypo-___-ite Add 1 Oxygen: per-____-ate Doesnt conduct electricity CuCl(s) Water added Cu+ (aq)+ Cl (aq) Doesnt conduct electricity Conducts electricity
Copper and Chlorine are bonded because of their positive and negative charges. They want to neutralize. When CuCl(s) and water are combined, they separate, allowing the Cu (a metal) to conduct electricity. Metals have positive charges (give away electrons); non-metals have negative charges (receive electrons) Place metals first in a formula
Ions: atoms or groups of atoms with a charge Cations: ions with positive charge; lose electrons
Anions: ions with negative charge; gain electrons Ionic Compounds: composed of cations and anions held together by electric attraction that combine so that the overall charges are neutral/equal. Ionic compounds have very strong bonds. They are metals bonded to non-metals. Physical Properties of Ionic Compounds: tend to be solid at room temperature; high melting/boiling points; melt is able to conduct electricity; conduct electricity in aqueous solution; solid form doesnt conduct electricity; solid is brittle; basic unit is called formula unit
Nomenclature of Ions Monoatomic ions: ions formed from a single atom Metals form cations: naming element name + gold ion (i.e. gold ion) Non-metals tend to form anions: naming element base + ide + ion (i.e. Ion oxide)
Compounds have neutral charges due to evenly bonded cations and anions: Naming cation first (see below)
Binary Ionic Compounds: composed only 2 different elements; metal non-metal; neutral charge naming: name of metal + Roman numeral (if more than 1 charge indicating charge) + nonmetal + ide Examples of naming
Mg2+; Br1- MgBr2 Magnesium Bromide Cu+; Cl- CuCl Copper (I) Chloride Cu2+; Cl- CuCl2 Copper (II) Chloride
Polyatomic Ionic Compounds: 3 or more different elements; neutral charge Example: Ca
2+
Binary Molecular Compounds: composed of 2 different elements; nonmetal-nonmetal; ide; prefixes Examples: CO: Carbon Monoxide CO2: Carbon Dioxide C2O: Dicarbon Monoxide Naming: 1st element (prefix if more than 1) + 2nd element (always prefix) + ide Prefixes: 1: mono 2: di 3: tri 4: tetra 5: penta 6: hexa 7: hepta 8: octa 9: nona 10: deca
Acid Nomenclature Ate ic Ite ous icateiteous: use to remember When there are only two elements (3rd example), add hydro before the 2nd element base, and use ic as the ending.
H+ and SO4 H2SO4(aq) Sulfuric Acid (ate ic) H+ and NO2 NHO2(aq) Nitrous Acid (ite ous) H+ and Cl- HCl (aq) Hydrochloric Acid
Periodic Table Notes Hydrogen: in a world of its own; 1 charge metal families Group 1: Alkali metal; 1 charge Group 2: Alkaline metal; 2+ charge Groups 3-12: Transition metals; charge varies Some groups 13-15: other metals; charge varies Properties: shiny luster, malleable, ductile (wire), high conductivity (heat and electricity), soupy electrons, solid at room temperature (except mercury)
Group 18: Noble gases; do not form ions nonmetal Group 17: Halogens; 1- charge families Some groups 16-14: other nonmetals Properties: dull luster, solids tend to be brittle, many are gases at room temperature, low conductivity (heat and electricity)
Groups 13-16: Metalloids Properties: semi-conductors, solid at room temperature, dull/shiny, malleable/brittle
