Chapter 2.8 Formulas, Names, and Masses of Compounds Flashcards
Charge of alkali metals, halogens
monatomic ions of main group elements have the same ionic charge
Binary Ionic Compounds (Names)
All Ionic Compounds:
1. names and formulas give the positive ion (cation) first and the negative ion (anion) second
Binary Ionic Compounds (Name of the cation and anion)
- the name of the cation is the name of the metal
* the name of the anion has the suffix -ide added to the root of the name of the nonmetal
Example of an anion formed from bromine
Bromide
Example of compound formed from metal calcium and nonmetal bromine
Calcium Bromide
Charge of Silver
Ag+2
Charge of Zinc
Zn+2
Charge of cadmium
Cd +2
Halogen with Oxygen (name)
halogen is named first
Elements in the same group (name)
one with higher period # is named first
ex. Sulfur + Oxygen = SO3, Sulfur Trioxide
Suffix of common metal ion names
- -ous for the ion with the lower charge
2. -ic for the ion with the higher charge
Metals that form more than one Monatomic ion
Cr3+ Cu+ Cu2+ Fe2+ Fe3+ Pb2+ Hg2+ Sn2+
Cuprous
Cu+, Copper
Cupric
Cu2+, Copper (II)
Ferrous
Fe+2, Iron (II)
Ferric
Fe+3, Iron (III)
Oxoanions
those in which an element, usually a nonmetal, i s bonded to one of more oxygen atom
Naming with two oxoanions in the family
- the ion with more O atoms take the nonmetal root and the suffix -ate
- The ion with fewer O atoms take the nonmental root and the suffix -ite
ex. SO4²- = sulfate ion
ex. SO3²- = sulfite ion
Naming with four oxoanions in the family
- ion with most O atoms has the prefix per-, the nonmetal root, and the suffix -ate
ex. ClO4^- = perchlorate - the ion with one fewer O atom has just the root and the suffix -ate
ex. ClO3^- = Chlorate - the ion with two fewer O atoms has just the root and the suffix -ite
ex. ClO2^- = Chlorite - the ion with the least O atoms has the prefix hypo-, the root, and the suffix -ite
ex. ClO^- = Hypochlorite
hydrates
ionic compounds with a specific # of water molecules in each formula unit
- shown after a centered dot in the formula
ex. MgSO4 · 7H2O = magnesium sulfate heptahydrate
