TYPES OF COMPOUNDS
• Ionic Compounds
• composed of positive and
negative ions.
• usually formed from a metal and
non-metal.
• these elements are not attached
to one another.
TYPES OF COMPOUNDS
• Ionic Compounds con’t
• Examples
NaCl
CaBr2
KI
CHEMICAL FORMULAS
• Definition
• shows the kind and numbers of
atoms in the smallest
representative unit of the
substance.
• i. e.
NaCl
IONIC COMPOUNDS
• 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!!!!!!!!!
IONIC COMPOUNDS
• 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
NAMING COMPOUNDS
• Your ability to name compounds
and write formula’s hinges on
your ability to recognize whether
a compound is Ionic or Molecular.
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.
BINARY IONIC COMPOUNDS
• NaBr • Sodium
Bromide
• MgF2 • Magnesium
Fluoride
BINARY IONIC COMPOUNDS
• Ca 2+
CO 3
2-
• Calcium
CaCO3 Carbonate
Charges canceled.
• Calcium • Ca
+2
(NO3) -1
Nitrate
Notice the charges didn’t
cancel so they criss crossed
Ca(NO3)2
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. It’s charge is
+1
Naming Transition Metals
•• Copper
+1 (I)
Cu O -2 Oxide
•Cu2O
Writing Formulas with Transition Metals
• FeCl
Iron 3(III) Chloride
Fe
• IronCl
+3 -1
(II) Chloride
• FeCl2
Fe +2
Cl -1
*Backwards criss-cross to know the charge/Roman numeral
TYPES OF COMPOUNDS
• Molecular Compounds
• composed of molecules in
which elements share
electrons.
• usually composed of 2
nonmetals.
• these elements are attached
MOLECULAR FORMULA
• Definition
• shows the numbers and
kinds of atoms present in a
molecule of a compound.
• i. e.
CO
TYPES OF COMPOUNDS
• Molecular Compounds con’t
•Examples
CS2
SiO2
BF3
BINARY MOLECULAR COMPOUNDS
• CO2 • Carbon
Dioxide
• Di means 2
•no mono oxygens!!
