36
Q

How do you name Binary Molecular Compounds?

A
  • Start with the name of the first element (as it appears on the periodic table).
  • If there is more than one of the first element, add the appropriate prefix. If there is only one of the first element, do not add the mono- prefix.
  • Add the name of the second element with the ending changed to -ide.
  • Add a prefix to indicate how many of the second element there is, regardless of number (here you use the mono- prefix).
  • Be careful with elements that start with a vowel. It’s customary to drop the -o or the -a at the end of prefixes.

42
Q

Hydrazine

43
Q

Salts

A

Naming ionic compounds.

44
Q

Ions

A

Atoms or groups of atoms that have gained or lost electrons.

45
Q

Cations

A

Ions with a positive charge (those that have lost electrons). They will use the name of the element followed by “ion” or “cation”. Ex: Na –> Na^+ + e^-

46
Q

Anions

A

Ions with a negative charge (those that have gained electrons). It will use the -ide endings. Ex: Cl + e^- –> Cl^-

47
Q

Monatomic ions

A

Ions of the main group elements.
Column 1: +1
Column 2: +2
Column 3: +3
Column 4: +/- 4
Column 5: -3
Column 6: -2
Column 7: -1
Column 8: None

48
Q

Transition metal cations

A

It can form more than one cation. That leads to more than one charge. This means that it needs to include the charge when ion is named.

49
Q

Transition metal ions

A

When they are named, they should NOT have a Roman numeral associated with them.

50
Q

Polyatomic ions

A

A group of two or more atoms bonded together that have gained or lost electrons as a group. This gives the entire group and overall charge.

51
Q

How do you name Binary Ionic Compounds?

A
  • Polyatomic ions (chiefly the ammonium cation)
  • Monatomic metal cations with a constant charge
  • Monatomic metal cations with variable charge (transition metals)

Name the anion. Your options include:

  • Monatomic anions (nonmetals)
  • Polyatomic anions
51
Q

Hydrate

A

A term where compounds have water molecules trapped inside their crystal structure.

52
Q

Waters of hydration

A

Water molecules that are stuck in the crystal structure.
