IONIC COMPOUNDS
A requirement for any ionic compound is that all of the charges must add up to zero. That is, the total charge on the anions must equal the total charge on the cations. This is called the Principle of Charge Balance. Examples:

Mg2+ S2Na+ Br(Na+)2 S2Mg2+ (Br-)2

(+2) and (-2)the net charge is zero. (+1) and (-1)the net charge is zero. 2(+1) and (-2)the net charge is zero. (+2) and 2(-1) the net charge is zero.

IONIC COMPOUNDS
Ionic compounds form very large extended structures, in which the ions appear in a constant ratio. To write a formula for an ionic compound, we write the simplest whole number ratio of the anions and cations.

Examples: Mg2+ S2Na+ Br(Na+)2 S2Mg2+ (Br-)2 is written asMgS. is written asNaBr. is written asNa2S. is written asMgBr2.

NOMENCLATURE OF BINARY IONIC COMPOUNDS


A binary ionic compound consists of two elements and the name must include the cation and the anion. The cation is named first and is simply given the name of the element. Add the suffix ide to the root of the anionic element to complete the name; multipliers are not utilized. Examples: MgBr2 Na Cl K2S BeBr2 magnesium bromide sodium chloride potassium sulfide beryllium bromide

POLYATOMIC IONS
A polyatomic ion is a group of atoms that are bonded together by covalent bonds (a molecular compound) that has a net ionic charge. These combine with simple ions to give more complex ionic compounds.

Many of the transition metals can assume different charges; this is referred to as their oxidation number.

ChemistryOnline, 2009-2011

RULES FOR ASSIGNING OXIDATION NUMBERS


The oxidation number of a pure element is zero, regardless of whether it is molecular or not (i.e. Br2). Group I metals are always +1. Group II metals are always +2. Fluorine is always -1. In compounds with metals, hydrogen is -1, otherwise it is always +1. With a few exceptions, oxygen is always -2. Halogens are -1, except in compounds with oxygen. Sulfur and selenium are -2, except in compounds with oxygen.

NOMENCLATURE OF COMPOUNDS WITH VARIABLE OXIDATION NUMBERS


As we have seen, transition metals and some heavier main group elements (i.e., Sb and Pb) can have more than one oxidation number. In naming these compounds, it is necessary to indicate the oxidation number of these metals using Roman numerals.
Examples: PbO2 lead (IV) oxide PbO lead (II) oxide FeCO3iron (II) carbonate FeBr3 iron (III) bromide
