Study Notes
Chemical Formulas
- Chemical formulas represent the atoms of elements in a molecular or ionic compound.
- Formulas show the exact number of each type of atom in a molecule or compound.
Polyatomic Ions
- Polyatomic ions are tightly bound groups of atoms that behave as a unit and carry a charge.
- Examples include SO32-, NO2-, and ClO2-.
- Common polyatomic ions include ammonium (NH4+), acetate (CH3COO- or C2H3O2-), carbonate (CO32-), phosphate (PO43-), hydroxide (OH-), sulfate (SO42-), and sulfite (SO32-), nitrate (NO3-), nitrite (NO2-), hypochlorite (ClO-), chlorite (ClO2-), chlorate (ClO3-), perchlorate (ClO4-), and cyanide (CN-).
Molecular Compounds
- Molecular compounds are composed of molecules in which elements share electrons (covalent bonding).
- They are typically composed of two nonmetals.
- Examples include CS2, SiO2, and BF3.
Binary Molecular Compounds
- Binary compounds contain two elements.
- Molecular compounds are composed of nonmetals.
- No ionic charges are present.
- Prefixes are used to represent the number of atoms present in the molecule.
Covalent Prefixes
- Mono (no prefix): 1
- Di: 2
- Tri: 3
- Tetra: 4
- Penta: 5
- Hexa: 6
- Hepta: 7
- Octa: 8
- Nona: 9
- Deca: 10
Naming Binary Molecular Compounds
- Use prefixes to indicate the number of atoms.
- Example: CO2 is carbon dioxide.
Naming Binary Ionic Compounds
- Cations (positive ions) are written first.
- Anions (negative ions) are written second.
- Use the names of the elements when naming ions. End anions with "-ide".
Writing Formulas for Ionic Compounds
- If charges cancel, just write the symbols (eg. Na+1 Cl-1 = NaCl)
- If charges don't cancel, criss-cross the charges. (e.g Ca+2 Cl-1 = CaCl2)
Ternary Ionic Compounds
- Contain three different elements.
- Often include polyatomic ions.
Naming with Transition Metals (Stock System)
- The Roman numeral indicates the charge of the metal.
- Example: Copper (I) oxide.
Naming with Transition Metals (Classical System)
- Uses "-ous" to represent smaller charges and "-ic" to represent larger charges on the transition metal.
Anion-Containing Acids
- If the anion ends in "-ide," add "hydro-" before the anion root and "-ic" as a suffix (e.g., chloride → hydrochloric acid).
- If the anion ends in "-ate", replace "-ate" with "-ic" (e.g., phosphate → phosphoric acid).
- If the anion ends in "-ite", replace "-ite" with "-ous" (e.g., sulfite → sulfurous acid)
Types of Formulas
- Molecular formula: shows the exact number of each type of atom in a molecule.
- Empirical formula: shows the simplest whole number ratio of atoms.
- Structural formula: shows the graphic representation of the atoms and their arrangement in a compound.
Ionic Compound Examples
- Examples include NaCl, CaBr2, and KI.
