Study Notes

Naming Binary Ionic Compounds

Composed of positive ions (metals) and negative ions (non-metals).
Name the metal ion first; for example, in CaI2, it is "calcium."
Rename the non-metal ion by adding the suffix "ide" (e.g., iodine becomes iodide).
Combine names to form the full compound name (CaI2 = calcium iodide).

Common Binary Ionic Compounds

Lithium Nitride: Li3N
Silver Oxide: Ag2O
Silver Iodide: AgI
Calcium Iodide: CaI2
Magnesium Bromide: MgBr2
Rubidium Fluoride: RbF
Aluminum Bromide: AlBr3
Gallium Iodide: GaI3

Writing Formulas for Binary Ionic Compounds

Identify each ion and its charge before writing formulas.
Balance the positive and negative charges to determine subscripts.
For example, aluminum fluoride's formula is AlF3, derived from Al+3 and F-1 charges.

Examples of Binary Ionic Compounds Formulas

Strontium Nitride: Sr3N2
Lithium Oxide: Li2O
Silver Sulfide: Ag2S
Barium Phosphide: Ba3P2
Sodium Nitride: Na3N

Multivalent Metals

Multivalent metals can form ions with different charges (e.g., Nickel has Ni+2 and Ni+3).
Indicate the charge used in naming with Roman numerals.
Example: Copper (I) Nitride is Cu3N; its charge is specified as (I).

Examples of Multivalent Metal Compounds

Iron (II) Phosphide: Fe3P2
Manganese (II) Oxide: MnO
Lead (IV) Chloride: PbCl4
Iron (III) Oxide: Fe2O3

Polyatomic Ions

Composed of multiple atoms that are covalently bonded and carry a net charge.
Name the metal ion first, followed by the unchanged name of the polyatomic ion.
Example: Iron (II) Hydroxide: [Fe(OH)2] is named by identifying Iron (II) and Hydroxide.

Examples of Compounds with Polyatomic Ions

Potassium Acetate: KCH3COO
Calcium (II) Acetate: Ca(CH3COO)2
Ammonium Phosphide: (NH4)3P
Ammonium Phosphate: (NH4)3PO4

Key Rules for Compound Naming

Ionic compounds begin with metals or ammonium ions.
Covalent compounds start with non-metals.
Use prefixes in covalent naming to indicate the number of atoms.
For ionic compounds with a single charge, use the metal's name directly; for those with multiple charges, include the charge in Roman numerals.
Non-metal atoms in ionic compounds end in "ide."
Be cautious with polyatomic ion names due to similar endings.
