7 Naming Ionic Compounds


Binary Ionic Compounds

• Binary Compounds are made up of only ______________________.


• __________________________

Eg. NaCl, MgI2, but not MgCO3

Naming Binary Ionic Compounds

• Name the ___________ first (metal), followed by the ____________ (non-metal) with the “_____” ending.
Examples:
KCl Potassium Chloride
NaF Sodium Fluoride
ZnCl2 Zinc Chloride
Mg3N2 Magnesium Nitride

Practice: Name the compounds formed between each of the following pairs of ions, and
the resulting chemical formula:

a. Li+ and F- _______________________________________________


b. Ca2+ and N3- ________________________________________________
c. Na1+ and S2- ________________________________________________
d. Al3+ and O2- ________________________________________________

Balancing Ionic Charges

• When elements form ionic compounds, electrons move from ______________________________.


• The resulting charged ions attract other ions of the opposite charge until the _________________, and
the overall charge in the compound is ____________.

Recall: Ionic Charges of each group

Group 1

Group 2

Group 3

Group 4

Group 5

Group 6

Group 7

Group 8
The Zero-Sum Rule

• The sum of all charges in a chemical compound ______________________________________.


• Eg. MgCl2

The Criss-Cross Method for Balancing Ionic Charges

Step 1: Write the symbols of the elements, with the ________________________________ and the
___________________________________________________.

Step 2: Add the ionic charge of each ion as a superscript by looking up the group # of each ion.

Step 3: ______________________. Get rid of charge.

Step 4: _____________________________ without the charges….don’t include the subscript _______.


Simplify if needed.

Examples:

a) Beryllium fluoride _____________________________


b) Sodium nitride _____________________________
c) Calcium sulfide _____________________________
d) Aluminum chloride _____________________________
e) Lithium oxide _____________________________
f) Magnesium nitride _____________________________
g) Gallium sulfide _____________________________
h) Barium bromide _____________________________

Naming Multivalent Transition Metal Compounds

Transition Metals:
• Elements with an atomic number of __________________________________
• Transition metals are ____________________- they can often form more than __________________.
E.g. Fe2+ and Fe3+
• It is necessary to ____________________________________ when naming compounds.

Example 1: Write the chemical formula of each of the following:

a) Copper (II) Chloride _______________


b) Manganese (II) Sulfide _______________
c) Iron (II) Oxide _______________
d) Iron (III) Oxide _______________
e) Tin (IV) Bromide _______________
f) Lead (II) Nitride _______________

Example: Name the following compounds:

a) FeCl2 _____________________________
b) MnF2 _____________________________
c) CuO _____________________________
d) Cu2O _____________________________
e) PbS _____________________________
f) PbS2 _____________________________
g) SnI4 _____________________________
