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

4

• Cations Positively Charged Atoms
• i.e. Na

• Anions Negatively Charged Atoms
• i.e. Cl-

7
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.

8
TYPES OF COMPOUNDS

• Ionic Compounds cont
• Examples
• NaCl
• CaBr2
• KI

9
CHEMICAL FORMULAS

• Definition
• shows the kind and numbers of
  atoms in the smallest representative unit
  of the substance.
• i. e.
• NaCl

10
IONIC COMPOUNDS

• A formula unit is the lowest whole number ratio
  of ions in an ionic compound.
• i.e. Na2Cl2 -gt NaCl
• There is no such thing as a molecule of
  NaCl!!!!!!!!!

11
NAMING COMPOUNDS

• Your ability to name compounds and write
  formulas hinges on your ability to recognize
  whether a compound is Ionic or Molecular.

12
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.

13
BINARY IONIC COMPOUNDS

• Writing Formulas from Names
• 1st word CATION
• 2nd word ANION name
• with ide ending.

14
BINARY IONIC COMPOUNDS

• NaBr
• MgF2

• Sodium Bromide
• Magnesium Fluoride

15
BINARY IONIC COMPOUNDS

• Potassium Chloride
• Aluminum Oxide
• notice ending of name is ide!

• KCl- -gt KCl
• Al23O32- -gt Al2O3

16
Polyatomic Ions

• Definition tightly bound groups of atoms
  that behave as a unit and carry a charge.
• Example SO32-, NO2-, ClO2-

17
TERNARY IONIC COMPOUNDS

• Ternary means 3 different elements
• Usually contain Poly-atomic Ions
• Ionic means cation and anion

18
TERNARY IONIC COMPOUNDSWriting Formulas

• Ca2CO32- -gt
• CaCO3

• Calcium Carbonate

19
TERNARY IONIC COMPOUNDS Naming

• Calcium Nitrate

• Ca(NO3)2

20
Naming with Transition Metals

• First word CATION
• Second word ANION
• You need to determine what charge is on the
  transition metal if more than one exists.

21

• composed of molecules in which elements
  share electrons.
• usually composed of 2 nonmetals.
• these elements are attached

24
MOLECULAR FORMULA

• CS2
• SiO2
• BF3

26
BINARY MOLECULAR COMPOUNDS

• Binary means 2 elements
• Molecular means 2 non-metals
• NO ionic charges are present

27
Naming Binary Molecular Compounds

• Prefixes are used to show how many atoms are
  present in each molecule.
• mono, di, tri,tetra, penta, hexa, hepta, octa,
  nona, deca

28
