Names and Chemical Formulas of Ionic Compounds

3.2 All about ionic compounds !

Review of ionic compounds: They are between metals and non-metalsThey are between metals and polyatomic

ions! They gain and lose electrons ( a transfer)

Ex: calcium bromide

Today we will learn how to write the names and formulas of ionic compounds

Rules for writing names of ionic compounds

Rules:

The (metal) positive ion is always the first part of the name and its name does NOT change.

Calcium Calcium

The (non-metal) negative ion is always the second part of the name and its name changes.

The non-metal ‘s name changes to the suffix/ending “ide”

Bromine Bromide

If the non-metal is a polyatomic ion, then write its original name with no changes at all

e.g. Ca(NO3)2 calcium nitrate

Practice naming NON-METAL IONSTake off the original ending and add an

“ide” ending. Element Name Ion Name Florine (F)   Sulphur (S)

Write the names of the following ions: a) Br- = __________________________b) Cl- = __________________________c) I- = __________________________d) O-2 = __________________________e) N-3 = __________________________

Write the names for the following ionic compounds:

NaCl LiNO3

CaBr2 Ba3(PO4)2

MgO

KOH

Rules continued

How to write the CHEMICAL FORMULA for the ionic compound????

We need to use the charges/combining capacity for each ion when we do this.

So how does it work?

NAMING MONATOMIC METAL IONS

If a metal has more than one possible charge, the charge has to be indicated by a Roman numeral, in parenthesis, immediately following the name.

Ex: Fe+3

Fe+2

Roman numerals are:I 1 V 5 IX 9II 2 VI 6 X 10III 3 VII 7IV 4 VIII 8
