Study Notes
Covalent and Ionic Compounds
- Covalent compounds form when atoms share valence electrons.
- Ionic compounds consist of cations (positively charged metal ions) and anions (negatively charged nonmetal ions).
- Covalent bonds typically occur between nonmetals or identical elements.
Binary Ionic Compounds
- Naming involves the metal's name followed by a modified nonmetal name with the suffix -ide.
- Examples include:
- NaCl: Sodium Chloride
- Mg3N2: Magnesium Nitride
- AlCl3: Aluminum Chloride
Transition Metals
- Transition metals can form multiple cation types, indicated by Roman numerals in parentheses.
- Examples:
- FeCl2: Iron (II) Chloride
- CuCl2: Copper (II) Chloride
Classical Naming System
- Metals with two cation types use suffixes -ous and -ic to differentiate charges.
- Lower charge gets -ous, higher charge gets -ic.
- Examples:
- SnO: Tin (II) Oxide (Stannous Oxide)
- FeCl3: Iron (III) Chloride (Ferric Chloride)
Binary Compounds (Nonmetals)
- For compounds of two nonmetals, the first element is named first with the second taking the -ide ending.
- Greek prefixes indicate the number of atoms.
- Mono- is not used for the first element.
- Examples:
- CO2: Carbon Dioxide
- N2O4: Dinitrogen Tetroxide
Binary Acids
- Named using the prefix hydro- followed by the second element's stem and -ic, and ending with the word "acid".
Objectives in Chemistry
- Recognize ionic and covalent compounds.
- Write chemical names from formulas and vice versa.
- Understand real-life applications of compound naming.
Chemical Representation
- Chemical formulas denote the type and number of atoms combined in a substance.
- Example: H2O shows two hydrogen atoms and one oxygen atom.
Symbols, Subscripts, and Coefficients
- Chemical symbols represent elements (e.g., C for Carbon, Na for Sodium).
- Subscripts indicate the number of atoms in a molecule (e.g., CO2 has one carbon and two oxygens).
- Coefficients represent moles or molecules of a substance (e.g., 3H2O indicates three water molecules).
Subatomic Particles
- Protons: Positive charge, located in the nucleus.
- Neutrons: No charge, also in the nucleus.
- Electrons: Negative charge, found in the electron cloud surrounding the nucleus.
- Atomic number (Z) determines the identity of an element based on the number of protons.
