Chemical Names and Formulas
MoleculesA molecule is the smallest electrically neutral unit of a
substance that still has the properties of the substance.
1. Monatomic - consist as a single atom (Ex: Noble gases)
2. Diatomic molecule -7 exist in nature “BrINCl HOF”
3. Triatomic molecule ( Ex: O3 - ozone)
He
(means 2) atomsBr2 I2 N2 Cl2 H2 O2 F2
Chemical Formula: shows the kinds and numbers of atoms in the smallest representative unit of the substance (formula unit)
REMEMBER!!!!H – Element symbol always begins with a capital letter
Na – If symbol has two letters, the second letter is always lowercase
H2O H2O2
What’s the difference between these two formulas?When you change the subscripts the formula no longer represents that compound.
Chemical FormulasHow to read formulas:
H2O = 2 hydrogen atoms
1 oxygen atom
Ca(OH)2 – Number outside the parenthesis distributes to inside the parenthesis
1 calcium atom2 oxygen atoms2 hydrogen atoms
Explain the following:
MgCl2 – What elements are present? How many? Mg - Cl -
Pb(NO3)2 – What elements are present? How many?
Pb - N - O -

Charges of Transition Metals
These transition metals have more than one charge:
Cr2+ or 3+ Cu+ or 2+
Mn2+ or 3+ Sn2+ or 4+
Fe2+ or 3+ Pb2+ or 4+
Co2+ or 3+ Ni2+ or 3 +
Hg1+ or 2+ Au1+ or 3 +
Sc2+ or 3+ Hg1+ or 2 +
I. Writing Formulas for Binary Ionic Compounds
Rules:1. Write symbol and charge for both
cation and anion.
2. Crisscross charges, drop the charge and write as subscripts.
3. CHECK!! The formula must be in the lowest possible ratio.
The cation is always written first!

II. Naming Binary Ionic Compounds
1.) Use the name of the cation. ****Use Roman Numerals if Transition Metal.
2.) Name the anion and change ending to -ide.

Polyatomic Ions• Tightly bound groups of atoms that behave
as a unit and carry a charge.

Examples:
III. Writing Formulas for Ternary Ionic Compounds
A. Contain a polyatomic ion
B. Same rules as for binary ionic compounds.
One addition – Use parenthesis if there is more than one polyatomic ion
Ex:
Calcium Hydroxide
Ca2+ OH-
CaOH2
Ca(OH)2
• Boron acetate
B3+ C2H3O2-1
• Magnesium Dichromate
Mg+2 Cr2O7-2
White Board Practice Problems Write formulas for the following
ternary ionic compounds:a. Calcium Carbonate
b. Barium Nitrite
c. Potassium Sulfate
d. Magnesium Phosphate
IV. Naming Ternary Ionic Compounds
• Same rules as for naming binary ionic compounds:–Name the cation
***Use a Roman numeral if necessary
–Name the anion (change ending to –ide) Polyatomic ions will stay the same!!
White Board Practice Problems:• Name the following ternary ionic
compounds:a. NaCN
b. NH4ClO
c. Li2SO3
d. CaC2O4
e. Al(OH)3
f. Sn3(PO4)2

V. Rules for Naming Covalent Compounds
1. Prefixes are used to show how many atoms of each element are present in the compound
Prefixes used for Naming Binary Covalent Compounds
2. Second element is written with an –ide ending.
***All binary compounds, both ionic and covalent end in –ide.
3. The vowel at the end of the prefix is dropped when the name of the element begins with the same vowel.
Ex: monoxide, not monooxide
Rules for Naming Covalent Compounds
4. Mono is omitted if there is just a single atom on the first element in the name.
Ex: CO2
carbon dioxide not monocarbon dioxide
Rules for Naming Covalent Compounds
Naming Binary Covalent Compounds
1.) CO
2.) SO2
3.) N2O
4.) CCl45.) N2O5
6.) NO4
7.) OF2
Writing Formulas for Binary Covalent Compounds
Write the formulas for the following compounds.
1. carbon monochloride
2. nonacarbon tetrachloride
3. heptabromine dioxide
4. phosphorus trichloride
5. octanitrogen pentafluoride
Ionic vs. CovalentAre the following compounds ionic or covalent?
b. Sodium chloridec. CuSO4d. CO
e. Lithium hydroxide
f. dinitrogen tetraoxide g. FeS
