Chem 6A - Chapter 2 (Part B)

Types of Chemical FormulasTypes of Chemical Formulas

An empirical formula indicates the relative number of atoms of each element in the compound. It is the simplest type of formula.

A molecular formula shows the actual number of atoms of each element in a molecule of the compound.

A structural formula shows the number of atoms and the bonds between them, that is, the relative placement and connections of atoms in the molecule.

A chemical formula is comprised of element symbols and numerical subscripts that show the type and number of each atom present inthe smallest unit of the substance.

The empirical formula for hydrogen peroxide is HO.

The molecular formula for hydrogen peroxide is H2O2.

The structural formula for hydrogen peroxide is H-O-O-H.

Chap 2: Matter and Nomenclature 93

Nomenclature: BasicsNomenclature: BasicsTwo general classes of inorganic molecules:

1. Those containing a metal cation and a nonmetal anion OR a metal cation and a polyatomic anion (ionic compounds). There are two types of these ionic compounds:

(a). Those whose metal has only one possible positive oxidation state (Type I compounds);

(b). Those whose metal has more than one possible positive oxidation state (Type II compounds)

2. Those containing only nonmetals (molecular compounds; Type III compounds)

The nomenclature scheme reflects the compounds class or type.

Chem 6A - Chapter 2 (Part B)

Chap 2: Matter and Nomenclature 99

Nomenclature: Nomenclature: CationCation BasicsBasicsTo name a cation (or the first element in a Type III

compound): Type I: Use the name of the element; if you are talking

about an ion by itself put ‘ion’ after the name: Na+ = sodium ion; Mg+2 = magnesium ion Special cations: NH4

+ = ammonium ion; H3O+ = hydronium ion

Type II: Use the name of the element AND its oxidation state (or charge); use roman numerals in parentheses to denote this; if you are talking about an ion by itself put ‘ion’ after the name:

Cu+2 = copper (II) ion; Cr+6 = chromium (VI) ion

Type III : Use the name; denote number of that element present using greek prefixes (more later).

Nomenclature: Anion BasicsNomenclature: Anion BasicsTo name a monatomic anion (OR the second element in a

binary Type III compound):

For ALL: Take the root name of the element and add -ide to the end: if you are talking about an ion by itselfput ‘ion’ after the name:

Cl- = chloride ion; S-2 = sulfide ion; P-3 = phosphide ion

Type III Compounds ONLY: Add to the name of the second element a prefix denoting how many of that element there are:

XO2 would be “X dioxide”, e.g. titanium dioxide

Determining Determining cationcation charge for Type II ionscharge for Type II ions

Based on knowing your anions and their charges!

A compound is neutral and has a charge of zero.

The sum of all the oxidation states in a compound must equal the overall charge on the ion or molecule.

Set up and solve for the unknown algebraically; so for Fe2O3:

1. START by naming as if it were a Type I compound:

N2F4: nitrogen fluoride

2. THEN add a greek prefix to tell how MANY of each element there are:

N2F4: dinitrogen tetrafluoride

* Note: if there is only one of the first element, the prefix mono is NOT used:

SO2 is sulfur dioxide NOT monosulfur dioxide

Nomenclature: Exceptions (1)Nomenclature: Exceptions (1)1. Some compounds have been known and used for so

long that their trivial (or common names) have become accepted by the IUPAC as official:

H2O = water CH4 = methane PH3 = phosphine

NH3 = ammonia SiH4 = silane N2H4 = hydrazine

2. Oxides of some nonmetals will sometimes be named as if they were Type II compounds:

P2O5 = phosphorus (V) oxide; SeO3 = selenium (VI) oxide

Note: this is an older nomenclature system that is slowly being phased out.

Nomenclature: Exceptions (2)Nomenclature: Exceptions (2)3. For Type II metals with only two common oxidation

states an older, Latin system was once used; while it is not employed very often it is useful to know some simple rules regarding it. It is sometimes called the “-ous/-ic” system, where the LOWER charged cation will be denoted by the latin root name for that element plus -ous and the HIGHER charged cation will be denoted by the latin root name for that element plus -ic :

Fe2+ = ferrous ion/Fe3+ = ferric ion; Sn2+ = stannous ion/Sn4+ = stannic ion

Not used much but still can be found being employed

4. Compounds containing hydrogen listed as the first element are acids and named differently, as are many carbon compounds.

Chap 2: Matter and Nomenclature 115

Acid NomenclatureAcid NomenclatureAn acid is a compound that contains an acidic

hydrogen (an H that ionizes in water) :

Not all hydrogens are ionizable; by convention, to indicate when one IS, we begin the chemical formula with it:

HC2H3O2 (acetic acid) has four hydrogens but only ONE is acidic (underlined for emphasis)

There are two types of acids: binary and oxoacids

HX(aq) H (aq) X – (aq)

Binary Acid NomenclatureBinary Acid NomenclatureFor BINARY acids (HX(aq), where X does NOT

contain oxygen; it MUST be in aqueous solution); Add hydro…ic acid to the root of the element X:

H2S (aq) = hydrosulfuric acid; HI (aq) = hydroiodic acid; HN3 (aq) = hydrazoic acid

Note: if phase is NOT aqueous, name as if it were a Type I compound (even though they are considered to be molecular in nature):

H2S (g) = hydrogen sulfide; HI (g) = hydrogen iodide; HN3 (l) = hydrogen azide

Chap 2: Matter and Nomenclature 117

OxoacidOxoacid NomenclatureNomenclatureIf the acid contains oxygen (HOX or HXOn) its name will

be a function of the name of the anion portion (i.e. the portion remaining after all the acidic H’s have been removed: OX- or XOn

-); so:

Determine the anion name;

If the name ends in -ate, replace -ate with -ic acid

If the name ends in -ite, replace -ite with -ous acid

Leave prefixes alone; the root name is sometimes tweaked to aid in pronunciation

H2SO4(aq) anion is SO4-2 (sulfate) acid name is sulfuric acid

HClO(aq) anion is ClO- (hypochlorite) acid name is hypochlorous acid

MixturesHeterogeneous mixtures: have one or more visible boundaries between the components.

Homogeneous mixtures: have no visible boundaries because the components are mixed as individual atoms, ions, and molecules.

Solutions: A homogeneous mixture is also called a solution. Solutions in water are called aqueous solutions, and are very important in chemistry. Although we normally think of solutions as liquids, they can exist in all three physical states.
