Study Notes

Classifying Substances

  • Atomic Elements: Single atoms, e.g., krypton, sodium, argon, cobalt.
  • Molecular Elements: Diatomic molecules, e.g., nitrogen (N₂), chlorine (Cl₂).
  • Molecular Compounds: Composed of two or more nonmetals, e.g., sulfur dioxide (SO₂), carbon disulfide (CS₂).
  • Ionic Compounds: Formed from metals and nonmetals, e.g., KNO₃, Na₂O, CrCl₃.

Ionic Compound Formation

  • Aluminum and Oxygen: Forms Al₂O₃ with cations (Al³⁺) and anions (O²⁻).
  • Strontium and Chlorine: Forms SrCl₂ with cations (Sr²⁺) and anions (Cl⁻).
  • Aluminum and Nitrogen: Forms AlN through the combination of Al³⁺ and N³⁻.
  • Lithium and Sulfate: Leads to Li₂SO₄ balancing Li⁺ and SO₄²⁻ ions.

Naming Ionic Compounds

  • Cation Naming: Identify cation charge to deduce compound name, e.g., MgF₂ is magnesium fluoride.
  • Transition Metals: Use Roman numerals for charge indication, e.g., PbCl₄ is lead(IV) chloride, determining lead's charge based on chlorine's contribution.

Molecular Compounds

  • Determine names from molecular structure with prefixes indicating the number of each element, e.g., N₂O₄ is dinitrogen tetroxide.

Acid Classification

  • Binary Acids: Contain hydrogen and one other element, e.g., HI is hydroiodic acid.
  • Oxyacids: Contain hydrogen, oxygen, and another element, e.g., H₂SO₄ is sulfuric acid, derived from sulfate ion.

Formula Mass Calculations

  • Calculate mass using atomic weights; for example, the formula mass of carbon tetrachloride (CCl₄) is 153.81 amu from C = 12.01 amu and Cl = 35.45 amu.

Isotope Variability

  • CCl₄ Variants: Variations arise from combinations of isotopes of carbon (C-12 and C-13) and chlorine (Cl-35 and Cl-37), leading to different molecular masses.

Common Errors in Naming/Ionic Formulas

  • Ensure that compounds are correctly identified as ionic or molecular and that names correspond to the correct formulas and oxidation states. For example, Ca(NO₂)₂ should be named calcium nitrite, not calcium nitrate.
