• Remember that the natural statenatural state of an atom is neutralneutral. The number of protons and electrons are equal.

• Ionic charge is based on the shape of the shape of the outer most orbitalouter most orbital dealing with the valance electrons. NOTNOT the balance of protons and electrons.

• This is counterintuitive.This is counterintuitive.

• When the metals in Groups 1A, 2A, & 3AGroups 1A, 2A, & 3A lose electronslose electrons, they form cationscations with positive chargespositive charges equal to their group number.

• To name the metals in this Group say the the name of the elementname of the element and addadd the word ionion (or cation) to the name.

• Ex. NaEx. Na++ = sodium ion = sodium ion

• The charge for any ion of this Group is determined by subtracting 8 from the subtracting 8 from the group numbergroup number.

• To name the nonmetals in this Group start with the stem of the element name and the stem of the element name and add add –ide–ide..

• Ex. PEx. P3-3- = phosphide ion = phosphide ion

charges.• Must be determined from the number of

electrons lostelectrons lost.• Two methods of naming:

– Stock nameStock name uses Roman numerals in parentheses. (Ex. Fe2+ = Iron (II) ion)

– Classical nameClassical name uses suffix –ous for lower ionic charge and –ic for higher ionic charge. (Ex. Fe2+ = Ferrous ion and Fe3+ = Ferric ion)

Naming Binary Molecular Naming Binary Molecular CompoundsCompounds• Defined as a compound composed of two

nonmetals.• The prefix in the name tells how many atoms of

each element are present in each molecule of the compound.

• The names of all binary molecular compounds end in –ide.

• The vowel at the end of a prefix is dropped when the name of the element begins with a vowel. (Ex. Carbon monoxide, not carbon monooxide.)

Guidelines for NamingGuidelines for Naming• Confirm Confirm that the compound is a binary

molecualr compound.• The name must identify the elements in the

molecule and indicate the number of each atom of each element.

• Name the elements in the order listed in the formula.

• Use prefixes to indicate the number of each kind of atom.

• If just one atom of the first element is in the formula omit the prefix mono.

• Add –ide to the suffix of the second element.
