Study Notes
Covalent Compounds Overview
- Compounds formed by two or more nonmetals are called molecular compounds.
- Covalent bonds occur when atoms share electrons, creating a force of attraction between them.
- A molecular formula provides shorthand notation that indicates the number of atoms of each element in a molecule.
- A molecule is a neutral group of atoms formed through covalent bonding.
Types of Compounds
- Ionic compounds involve the transfer of electrons between metals and nonmetals (e.g., CoO2, NaBr).
- Molecular compounds (or covalent compounds) involve sharing electrons between nonmetals (e.g., CO2).
Naming Compounds
- BCl3 is named boron trichloride.
- CCl4 is called carbon tetrachloride.
- P2O5 is referred to as diphosphorus pentoxide.
- S2F10 is known as disulfur decafluoride.
- HClO3 is termed chloric acid.
- HF is known as hydrofluoric acid.
- Cl2O is referred to as dichlorine monoxide.
- H2S is called hydrosulfuric acid.
- HNO3 is named nitric acid.
- N2H4 is referred to as dinitrogen tetrahydride.
- PI3 is called phosphorus triiodide.
- OCl2 is known as oxygen dichloride.
- H2Se is termed hydroselenic acid.
- H3As is known as hydroarsenic acid.
- Cl2O7 is referred to as dichlorine heptoxide.
Chemical Formulas
- Examples of chemical formulas include:
- Silicon tetrachloride: SiCl4
- Hydrobromic acid: HBr
- Silicon dioxide: SiO2
- Sulfuric acid: H2SO4
- Nitrogen trihydride: NH3
Prefixes for Naming
- Mono indicates 1 atom.
- Di indicates 2 atoms.
- Tri indicates 3 atoms.
- Tetra indicates 4 atoms.
