Ionic Compounds: Bonding Nomenclature Edward Wen
Bonding Theories Bonding: the way atoms attach to make molecules How and Why atoms attach together in the manner they do is central to chemistry An understanding of bonding would: 1) Predict the composition of compounds 2) predict the shapes of molecules and properties of substances 3) design and build molecules with particular sets of chemical and physical properties, for such as drug design in pharmaceutical industries. 2
Lewis Bonding Theory Atoms bond with each other because bonding results in a more stable Electron Configuration by either transferring or sharing electrons so that all atoms obtain an Outer Shell with 8 electrons (like Noble gases) Octet Rule Some exceptions: H, He, Li, Be. How to remember? Everyone wants to have an electron configuration like a Noble Gas 3
Lewis Symbols of Atoms also Electron Dot Symbols Symbol of element : Nucleus and Inner electrons Dots: around the Symbol as Valence electrons put one electron on each side first, then pair elements in the same group have the same number of valence electrons same Lewis dot symbols Li Be B C N O F Ne Na Mg Al Si P S Cl Ar 4
Everyone Atom Want to Be Like a Noble Gas! Alkali Metals (valence electron ns 1 ) as a group are the most reactive metals they react with many things and do so rapidly Halogens (valence electron ns 2 np 5 ) are the most reactive group of nonmetals one reason for their high reactivity: they are only ONE electron away from having a very stable electron configuration the same as a noble gas 5
Stable Electron Configuration And Ion Charge Metals: Cations by losing enough electrons to get the same electron configuration as the previous noble gas Nonmetals: Anions by gaining enough electrons to get the same electron configuration as the next noble gas Atom Atom s Electron Config Ion Ion s Electron Config Na [Ne]3s 1 Na + [Ne] Mg [Ne]3s 2 Mg 2+ [Ne] Al [Ne]3s 2 3p 1 Al 3+ [Ne] O [He]2s2p 4 O 2 [Ne] F [He]2s 2 2p 5 F [Ne] P [Ne] 3s 2 3p 3 P 3 [Ar] 6
Ionic Bonds Bonding : Metal + Nonmetal Metal loses electrons to form cation Nonmetal gains electrons to form anion Ionic bond results from + & attraction (Coulombic force) larger charge = stronger attraction smaller ion = stronger attraction Lewis Theory allow us to predict the correct formulas of ionic compounds 7
Lewis Symbols of Ions Cations (C n+ ) have no valence electrons Lost in the cation formation Li Li + + 1e Anions (A n ): 8 valence electrons Electrons gained in the formation of the anion :F: + 1e [:F:] 8
Chemical Formula Chemical formula: describe the compound by describing the number and type of each atom in the simplest unit of the compound molecules or ions (Table salt: Cl +, Na ) Element represented by its letter symbol: H instead of hydrogen; Na instead of Sodium #Atoms of each element: the right of the element as a subscript, H 2 O (unless if there is only one atom, the 1 subscript is not written) Polyatomic groups (multiple atoms in group, example: CO 3 ) are placed in parentheses if more than one 9
Ionic Compounds Ions: Metals (Cation M x+ ) and Nonmetals (Anion N y ) No individual molecules!! have a 3dimensional array of cations and anions made of formula units: NaCl, MgO Na + Cl Na + Cl Na + Cl Cl Na + Cl Na + Cl Na + Na + Cl Na + Cl Na + Cl 10
Ionic Compounds Name: first Cation, followed by Anion example: NaCl Sodium Chloride Cation: Fixed charge vs. Variable charge Polyatomic ion: ammonium NH 4 + Anion: Nonmetal: Chloride Cl, Oxide O 2 Polyatomic ion: SO 4 2, OH, NO 3 11
Physical Properties of Ionic Compounds Strong Coulombic attraction between the cations and anions (M + X ) High melting points and high boiling points, thus mostly as Solid state in room temperature. Many dissolves well in water and conduct electricity. Water molecule is polar (H δ+ O δ H δ+ ) so it can attract both cation and anion. 12
Metal Cations with Fixed Charge Groups IA, IIA, AZA only have one possible charge Groups IA, IIA, Ag +, Zn 2+, Al 3+ Charge by position on the Periodic Table IA = +1, IIA = +2, Ag + (IB), Zn 2+ (IIB) Al 3+ (IIIA) Name is the same as the element Ag + : silver ion Ca 2+ : calcium ion 13
Metal Cations with Variable Charges Common Examples: Fe 2+/3+, Cu +/2+, Cr 3+/6+, Mn 2+/4+, Mn 2+/4+, Pb 2+/4+, Sn 2+/4+, etc ) Determine charge by charge on anion Name with Roman numeral to indicate charge Cu + : copper(i) ion Pb 4+ : lead(iv) ion Or use common name (lower charge ous, higher charge ic ) Cu + : cuprous Cu 2+ : cupric Fe 2+ : ferrous Fe 3+ : ferric Sn 2+ : stannous Sn 4+ : stannic 14
Metal Cations: Remember the fixed charge cations! = Fixed charge = Variable charge Zn Ag Al
Monatomic Nonmetal Anion (A n ) How much is the charge? the position on the Periodic Table Name of the anion: change ending on the element name to ide 4A = 4 5A = 3 6A = 2 7A = 1 C 4 = carbide N 3 = nitride O 2 = oxide F = fluoride Si 4 = silicide P 3 = phosphide S 2 = sulfide Cl = chloride 16
Net charge of Ionic Compound = 0 Net charge = Positive charge from Cation(s) + Negative charge from Anion(s) = 0 Example: Compound Al 2 S 3, the Net charge = 2 x (+3) + 3 x (2) = +6 6 = 0 17
Name of Ionic Compounds Cation: Fixed charge cation: Na + => Sodium Variable charge cation = metal name(charge): Fe 3+ => Iron(III) Or use Common Name: Fe 3+ => Ferric Polyatomic ion : NH 4+ => Ammonium Anion: Nonmetal anion: ide, O 2 => oxide Polyatomic ion: SO 2 4 => Sulfate 18
Example Naming CsF 1. Classify the compound as ionic or covalent 2. For ionic: metal ions as fixed charge or variable charge? 3. Fixed charge metal cation: Name accordingly. cesium fluoride 19
Variable charge metal comopound Metal listed first in formula & name 1. Metal cation Nonmetal anion 2. metal cation Metal(Roman Numeral): to indicate its charge. Iron(II), Copper(I) determine charge from anion charge Alternatively, use common name 3. Nonmetal anion Nonmetal name ended with ide: Chloride, Oxide Example: Iron(II) chloride, Copper(I) oxide 20
How to find the charge on metal ions with variable charge? Example: Name Compound Fe 2 O 3 Since the sum of all charges equals zero, the charge on iron ions are unknown and oxide ion has 2 charge, then we have 2 x Fe + 3 x (2) = 0 Fe = +3, each iron ion has a charge of +3 Name: iron(iii) oxide Key: knowing the charge on ANIONs! 21
Example: Naming variable charge metal compound Fe 2 O 3 1. Identify the compound as ionic or covalent 2. Identify the metal ion as fixed charge or variable charge. 3. Find the charge of metal ion using the charge on the known anion Note: What is the name and charge of anion O? 4. Name accordingly. Iron(III) oxide Or Ferric chloride 22

Write Chemical Formula using the charge of known ions Example: Compound between Ca 2+ and PO 4 3, the number of ions of each needs to be 3 and 2, so that the combined charge = 3 x (+2) + 2 x (3) = 0 Therefore the formula for the compound is Ca 3 (PO 4 ) 2 44
Write Chemical Formula using the charge of known ions CrissCrossSimplify : The charge of an ion turns into the subscript (the number) of the counterpart ion Pb 4+ O 2 Pb 2 O 4 Since the subscripts in an ionic compound represents the RATIO among the ions, the subscripts need to be simplified when there is common denominator Pb 2 O 4 PbO 2 45
