Chapter 2, Problem 130GQ

(a)

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation: For the given compound the name should be identified and it should be determined that whether it is ionic or not.

Concept introduction:

Ionic compounds are formed by the combination of metal and nonmetals or metal and polyatomic ions.

Molecular compounds are formed by the combination of nonmetal and nonmetal or metalloid and nonmetal.

• Naming of molecular binary compounds (two element compounds),

The binary compounds of hydrogen with nonmetals are named as hydrogen followed by nonmetals name in ‘ide’ form (add ‘ide’ into stem of the name).

The binary compounds formed by combination of group 4A-7A elements are named as putting the first name as early group elements and last name as late group element in ‘ide’ form (generally according to electronegativity). The more than one number of an element is named by adding prefix as “di-, tr-, tetra-, penta- and so on.

• Naming of ions:

  Positive ions (cations) are named as metal name, example: aluminum for aluminum cation.

  But, for the transition metals the ionic charge also included by roman numerals with the naming of compound.

  Negative ions (anions) are named by adding ‘ide’ to the stem of the nonmetal element, from which the anion is formed, example: chloride, bromide, etc.
