Gold (Au)
Periodic Table (2 of 3):
Nonmetals are on the right side of the periodic table (they include H).
They can be solid (like carbon), liquid (like bromine), or gas (like neon) at room temperature.
Examples of some nonmetals
Bromine (Br)
Carbon (C)
Sulfur (S)
Phosphorus (P)
Periodic Table (3 of 3)
Elements on the steplike purple line are metalloids (except Al, Po, and At).
Their properties are sometimes like metals and sometimes like nonmetals.
Molecules and Molecular Compounds
Chemical Formula
Molecular compounds
Chemical Formula
The subscript to the right of the symbol of an element tells the number of atoms of that element in one molecule of the compound.
Molecular compounds
They are composed of molecules and almost always contain only nonmetals.
Diatomic Molecules
These seven elements occur naturally as molecules containing two atoms:
• Hydrogen (\(H_{_2}\))
• Nitrogen (\(N_{_2}\))
• Oxygen (\(O_{_2}\))
• Fluorine (\(F_{_2}\))
• Chlorine (\(CI_{_2}\))
• Bromine (\(Br_{_2}\))
• Iodine (\(I_{_2}\))
Note their location on the periodic table
Types of Formulas
Empirical formulas
Molecular formulas
Empirical formulas
give the lowest whole-number ratio of atoms of each element in a compound.
If we know the molecular formula of a compound, we can determine its empirical formula. The converse is not true without more information.
Molecular formulas
give the exact number of atoms of each element in a compound.
If we know the molecular formula of a compound, we can determine its empirical formula. The converse is not true without more information.
Picturing Molecules (#38)
Structural formulas (2D)
show the order in which atoms are attached. They do NOT depict the three-dimensional (3D) shape of molecules.
Perspective drawings, ball-and-stick models, and space-filling models
show the three-dimensional (3D) order of the atoms in a compound.
Ions and Ionic Compounds (#39)
When an atom of a group of atoms loses or gains electrons, it becomes an ion.
Cations
Anions
Cations
Cations are formed when at least one electron is lost. Monatomic cations are formed by metals.
Anions
Anions are formed when at least one electron is gained. Monatomic anions are formed by nonmetals, except the noble gases.
Ionic Compounds
Ionic compounds
Ionic compounds (such as NaCl) are generally formed between metals and nonmetals.
Electrons are transferred from the metal to the nonmetal. The oppositely charged ions attract each other. Only empirical formulas are written.
Naming Inorganic Compounds
The system of naming compounds is called chemical nomenclature.
• Names of ions (cations and anions) must be memorized
• There are rules used to name:
1) Ionic compounds
2) Acids
3) Binary molecular compounds

Polyatomic Ions
Sometimes a group of atoms will gain or lose electrons. These are polyatomic ions.
A polyatomic cation: Ammonium ≡ \(NH_{_4}^{+}\)
A polyatomic anion: Sulfate ≡ \(SO_{_4}^{2-}\)
Writing Inorganic Formulas
Because compounds are electrically neutral, one can determine the formula of a compound this way:
⁃ The charge on the cation becomes the subscript on the anion.
⁃ The charge on the anion becomes the subscript on the cation.
⁃ If these subscripts are not in the lowest whole-number ratio, divide them by the greatest common factor.
Reference PowerPoint #45
\(Mg^{2+}\)\(N^{3-}\)= \(Mg_{_3}^{}N_{_2}^{}\)
Naming Inorganic Compounds
• The cation is named before the anion.
Write the element name of the cation.
If the cation can have more than one possible charge, write the charge as a Roman numeral in parentheses, i.e. for iron:
\(Fe^{2+}\) is iron (II), \(Fe^{3+}\) is iron (III).
If it is a polyatomic cation
If it is a polyatomic cation, it will end in –ium, i.e., \(NH_{_4}^{+}\) is ammonium
If the element is the anion
If the element is the anion, change its ending to –ide, i.e., \(CI^{-}\) is chloride
If the anion is a polyatomic ion
If the anion is a polyatomic ion, simply write the name of the polyatomic ion, i.e., \(PO_{_4}^{3-_{}}\)is phosphate.
Patterns in Oxyanion Nomenclature (1 of 3)
When there are only two oxyanions involving the same element:
The one with fewer oxygens ends in -ite.
\(NO_{_2}^{-}\) is nitrite
\(NO_{_3}^{-}\) is nitrate
The one with more oxygens ends in -ate.
\(SO3^{2-}\) is sulfite
\(SO4^{2-}\) is sulfate
Patterns in Oxyanion Nomenclature (2 of 3)
(#48)
Central atoms on the second row have a bond to, at most, three oxygens; those on the third row take up to four.
Ion charges decrease as you go from left to right.
Patterns in Oxyanion Nomenclature (3 of 3)
(#49)
The ion with two oxygens:
The ion with two oxygens ends in -ite: \(CIO_{_2}^{-}\) is chlorite.
The ion with three oxygens:
The ion with three oxygens ends in -ate: \(CO_{_3}^{-}\)is chlorate.
The ion with one oxygen:
The ion with one oxygen has the prefix hypo- and ends in -ite: \(CIO^{-}\) is hypochlorite
The ion with four oxygens:
The ion with four oxygens has the prefix per- and ends in -ate: \(CIO_4^{-}\) is perchlorate.
Inorganic Acid Nomenclature (#50)
If the anion of the acid ends in -ide, change the ending to -ic acid and add the prefix hydro-
HCl: hydro chloric adci
HBr: hydro bromic acid
HI: hydro iodic acid
If the anion ends in -ite, change the ending to -ous acid.
HClO: hypochlorous acid
\(HCIO_{_2}\): chlorous acid
If the anion ends in -ate, change the ending to -ic acid.
\(HCIO_{_3}\): chloric acid
\(HCIO_{_4}\): perchloric acid
Nomenclature of Binary Molecular Compounds
The name of the element farther to the left in the periodic table (closer to the metals) or lower in the same group is usually written first.
A prefix is used to denote the number of atoms of each element in the compound (mono- is not used on the first element listed, however).

Nomenclature of Binary Compounds
The ending on the second element is changed to -ide.
• \(CO_{_2}\) is carbon di oxide
• \(CCI_{_4}\) is carbon tetra chloride
If the prefix ends with a or o and the name of the element begins with a vowel, the two successive vowels are often elided into one
\(N_{_2}O_{_5}\) is dinitrogen pentoxide
CO is carbon monoxide
Some Simple Organic Compounds
Organic chemistry is the study of carbon.
Organic chemistry has its own system of nomenclature.
The simplest hydrocarbons
The simplest hydrocarbons (compounds containing only carbon and hydrogen) are alkanes.
The first part of the names just listed correspond to the number of carbons
meth- = 1
eth- = 2
prop- = 3
etc.
It is followed by -ane:
Methane, Ethane, Propane
Nomenclature of Alcohols
When a hydrogen in an alkane is replaced with something else (a functional group, like –OH in the compounds shown), the name is derived from the name of the alkane.
The ending denotes the type of compound
An alcohol ends in -ol.
Methanol, Ethanol, 1-Propanol
Nomenclature Isomers: Alcohols
When two or more molecules have the same chemical formula, but different structures, they are called:
isomers
1-Propanol and 2-propanol have:
the oxygen atom connected to different carbon atoms. Both have the same empirical and molecular formula.
C3H8O can have different structural formulas:
• 1-propanol: CH_3CH_2CH_2OH
• 2-propanol: CH_3CH(OH)CH_3
1-propanol:
\(CH_{_3}CH_{_2}CH_{_2}OH\)
2-propanol
\(CH_{_3}CH\left(OH\right)CH_{_3}\)
