lecture 9.1 & 9.2- naming salts
DESCRIPTION
Section 9.1 & 9.2 lecture for Honors & Prep Chemistry on chemical nomenclature for ionic compoundsTRANSCRIPT
Dihydrogen monoxide? It is in water sources everywhere… It is responsible for many deaths every year…
Monatomic ions consist of a single atom with a positive or negative charge.
Positive ions result from the loss of one or more valence electrons.
negative ions result from the gain of one or more valence electrons.
Cations
When the metals in Groups 1A, 2A, and 3A lose electrons, they form cations with positive charges equal to their group number.
The names of the cations of the Group 1A, Group 2A, and Group 3A metals are the same as the name of the metal, followed by the word ion or cation.
Na Na+
Sodium atom sodium cation or sodium ion
Group1A = 1 valence e- = +1 ion
These elements have ionic charges that can be obtained from their group numbers.
Al3+ 3e-
Non-metals gain electrons.
Anion charge = group number - 8
Anion names start with the stem of the element name and end in -ide.
O O oxygen atom oxide
ion
2-
These Group A elements form anions.
Some transition metals can form more than one ion.
The charges of these transition metal cations must be specified because there is more than one possible charge.
These colorful solutions contain the transition metal ions Co3+, Cr3+, Fe3+, Ni2+, and Mn2+.
Many transition metal compounds are colored and can be used as pigments.
Two methods are used to name the ions of transition metals.
•The Stock system
•The classical method
In the Stock system, a Roman numeral in parentheses is placed after the name of the element to indicate the numerical value of the charge.
FeCl3 iron(III) chloride
FeCl2 iron(II) chloride
In an older less useful method, the latin name of the element is used to form the root name for the ion.
Conceptual Problem 9.1
Polyatomic ions, are composed of more than one atom.
The names of most polyatomic anions end in -ite or -ate.
These models show the structures of four common polyatomic ions.
Names and Formulas of Some Common Polyatomic Ions
Polyatomic ions are covalently bound groups with an overall charge.
NaHCO3
Sodium hydrogen carbonate can relieve an upset stomach.
HCO3–, HPO4
2–, and H2PO4– ions in
your blood are critical for your health.
Fertilizers contain HPO42– and H2PO4– ions.
A binary compound is composed of two elements and
can be either ionic or molecular.
Ionic compounds are named differently than molecular(covalent) compounds.
When naming ionic compounds, state the cation first then the anion.
KNO3
K+ NO3-
potassium nitrate
TiO2
Ti4+ O2-
titanium(IV) oxide
Watch out for elements that make multiple
ions!!- They need (charge)
Look out for polyatomic
ions!! More than 1 non-metal
Tin(II) flouride, or SnF2, is added to toothpastes to prevent cavities.
Tin(IV) sulfide, or SnS22,, is used in glazes for porcelain fixtures and dishes.
Hematite, a common ore of iron, contains iron (III) oxide. The balanced formula is Fe2O3.
Writing Formulas for Ionic Compounds
Write the symbol of the cation and then the anion. Add whatever subscripts are needed to balance the charges.
Al3+ and O2- ions make Al2O3 crystals.
Compounds With Polyatomic Ions
calcium cation– Ca2+
polyatomic nitrate anion– NO3–
Two nitrate anions are needed to balance the 2+ charge of the calcium cation.
calcium nitrate is Ca(NO3)2.
Parenthesis are needed to show more than one polyatomic ion.
Lead(II)sulfate is an important component of an automobile battery.
1. When metals from groups 1A, 2A, and 3A form cations, the charge on the ion is equal to

b. the group number minus 8.
c. the period number.
d. the group number.
