3. Objectives:
Identify Ionic and Covalent Compound.
Describe binary and ternary compound.
Name and write chemical formula.
* Ionic Compound
* Covalent Compound
6. Naming Compounds
General Information
Binary Ionic Compounds
Ternary Ionic Compounds/Poly-atomic
Ions
Naming w/metals that have more than 1
charge (Transition Metals)
Molecular Compounds
7. Metals and Nonmetals
Stairway Of Division on Periodic Table
C, P, Se, I, Rn and to the right are non-
metals
B, Si, As, Ge, Sb, Te, Po, At are semi-
metals
All others are metals
14. Definition
shows the kind and numbers
of atoms in the
smallest representative unit
of the substance.
i. e.
NaCl
15. A formula unit is the lowest
whole number ratio of ions in
an ionic compound.
i.e. Na2Cl2 -> NaCl
There is no such thing as a
molecule of NaCl!!!!!!!!!
16. If charges cancel, just write the symbols
Na+1 Cl-1 NaCl
If charges do not cancel, criss-cross:
Ca+2 Cl-1 CaCl2
***Do not move the charge, only the
number
***Do not write the 1
17. NAMING COMPOUNDS
Your ability to name
compounds and write
formulas hinges on your
ability to recognize whether a
compound is Ionic or
Covalent.
18. BINARY IONIC COMPOUNDS
Binary means 2 elements
Ionic means a metal and a
non-metal (or cation and
anion)
Writing Formulas
charges must balance so
compound charge is
neutral.
27. Naming with Transition Metals
First word = CATION
Second word = ANION
The Roman numeral will tell you the
charge of the transition metal
Silver (Ag) is an exception. Its
charge is +1
30. Writing Formulas with Transition
Metals
FeCl3
Fe+3 Cl-1
FeCl2
Fe+2 Cl-1
Iron (III)
Chloride
Iron (II)
Chloride
*Backwards criss-cross to know the charge/Roman numeral
31. TYPES OF COMPOUNDS
Covalent/Molecular Compounds
composed of molecules in
which elements share
electrons.
usually composed of 2
nonmetals.
these elements are attached
