It is primarily composed of the compound mercuric sulfide, HgS. Cinnabar has been mined since the Stone Age for its uses as a pigment and as a source of pure mercury. Mercury can be easily harvested from cinnabar by roasting cinnabar powder (vermillion), which actually vaporizes the mercury metal. The hot mercury vapor can then be recondensed to yield pure liquid mercury. Cinnabar is one of thousands of minerals that occur naturally on earth. Some minerals are common (like cinnabar) while others are rarer (like ores of gold and silver). Another less common mercury-containing mineral is mon- troydite, which is composed primarily of mercuric oxide (HgO). The composition of mercuric oxide was first determined in 1774 by the English chemist Joseph Priestley. Priestley showed that heating montroydite powder produced mercury metal and a gas, which he called phlogiston-free air. The gas was later determined to be oxygen. The revised name, based on information gained from experiments, allowed chemists to have a better understanding of chemical composition and chemical reactions. Clear unambiguous naming makes communication much easier and more reliable. Parent Gry: commons:wikimedia:org=wiki=File:Cinabre_macl%C3%A9_%28Chine%29_: jpg: Public Domain: 1 1.1.

Lesson Vocabulary • empirical formula: The lowest whole-number ratio between two ions. • binary ionic compound: A compound made up of a cation and an anion. • ternary ionic compound: An ionic compound that is composed of more than two elements. • monatomic ion: Form when a single atom gains or loses electrons. • polyatomic ion: An ion composed of more than one atom. • oxoanion: Anions in which one or more oxygen atoms are all bonded to a central atom of some other element. Introduction As we saw in the previous chapter, ions are formed when atoms gain or lose electrons. If an atom loses one or more electrons, the resulting ion has a positive charge (more protons are present than electrons). If the atom gains one or more electrons, the resulting ion has a negative charge (more electrons are present than protons). Positive ions are called cations, and negative ions are called anions. Because opposite charges attract one another, cations and anions are held together by strong electromagnetic forces. An ionic compound consists of a large three-dimensional array of alternating cations and anions. For example, sodium chloride (NaCl) is composed of Na+ and Cl− ions arranged into a structure like the one shown in Figure 1.1. The most straightforward way to describe this structure with a chemical formula is to give the lowest whole-number ratio between the two ions, which is known as an empirical formula. In the case of NaCl, there are equal numbers of sodium ions and chloride ions in the salt crystal. In contrast, a crystal of magnesium chloride has twice as many chloride ions as magnesium ions, so it has a formula of MgCl2. Naming Ionic Compounds Ionic compounds are composed of one type of cation and one type of anion. The name of an ionic compound can be formed by writing the name of the cation followed by the name of the anion. For example, NaCl is composed 2 www.ck12.org Chapter 1. Chemical Nomenclature FIGURE 1.1 A crystal of table salt, sodium chloride, is a large array of alternating positive and negative ions. The purple spheres represent the Na+ ions, while the green spheres represent the Cl− ions. of sodium ions (Na+) and chloride ions (Cl−), so its name is sodium chloride. Ionic compounds like NaCl that are composed of only two elements are referred to as binary ionic compounds. Similarly, KOH is composed of potassium ions (K+) and hydroxide ions (OH−), so its name is potassium hydroxide. Ionic compounds like KOH that are composed of more than two elements are referred to as ternary ionic compounds. To learn how to name various ionic compounds, we simply need to learn the names of individual ions. Monatomic Ions Monatomic ions form when a single atom gains or loses electrons. For the main group elements, cations are generally formed by removing all of the valence electrons from the atom. Since the numbers of valence electrons for the representative elements are constant within a particular group, all we need is the group number of a given element to know its charge when it becomes a cation. Group 1 elements form ions with a 1+ charge, Group 2 metal ions have a 2+ charge, and the ions of Group 13 elements tend to have a 3+ charge. Heavier p-block metals such as tin and lead are special cases and will be discussed with the transition metal ions. The name of a monatomic cation is the same as the name of the neutral element. For example, the sodium atom (Na) loses a single electron to form the sodium ion (Na+), while Al3+ is an aluminum ion. Anions form when an atom gains electrons. Nonmetallic atoms typically gain enough electrons to obtain the same electron configuration as the nearest noble gas. All the elements in Group 17 have seven valence electrons, which are arranged into a outer configuration of ns2np5. To achieve a noble gas configuration (ns2np6), each of these elements needs to gain just one electron, resulting in an anion with a 1− charge. Similarly, Group 16 elements can obtain an ns2np6 valence configuration by forming ions with a 2− charge, and the Group 15 nonmetals will form ions with a 3− charge. Naming anions is slightly different than naming cations. The end of the element’s name is dropped and replaced with the –ide suffix. For example, when the chlorine atom (Cl) gains one electron, it becomes the chloride ion (Cl−). This structure has the same electron configuration as the noble gas argon. Similarly, sulfur can gain two electrons to become the sulfide ion (S2−), which also has a noble gas configuration. Most main group elements, particularly those in groups 1, 2, 16, and 17, gain or lose enough electrons to form ions that have the same electron configuration as that of the nearest noble gas. Table 1.1 shows the names and charges for common monatomic ions of the representative elements: TABLE 1.1: Common Monatomic Ions 1+ 2+ 3+ 3- 2- 1- lithium, Li+ beryllium, Be2+ aluminum, Al3+ nitride, N3− oxide, O2− fluoride, F− sodium, Na+ magnesium, gallium, Ga3+ phosphide, P3− sulfide, S2− chloride, Cl− Mg2+ potassium, K+ calcium, Ca2+ arsenide, As3− selenide, Se2− bromide, Br− 3 1.1. Ionic Compounds www.ck12.org TABLE 1.1: (continued) 1+ 2+ 3+ 3- 2- 1- rubidium, Rb+ strontium, Sr2+ telluride, Te2− iodide, I− cesium, Cs+ barium, Ba2+ Transition Metal Ions Most transition metals differ from the metals of Groups 1, 2, and 13 in that they are capable of forming more than one type of stable cation. For example, iron sometimes loses two electrons to form the Fe2+ ion, but it is also common for iron to lose three electrons to form the Fe3+ ion. Although they are members of the p block and not the d block, tin and lead also form more than one type of ion.

  • Chemical Nomenclature
    Chemical Nomenclature Many everyday and historically important chemical compounds have common names. For example, water is the common name for H2O, baking soda is the common name for NaHCO3 and KNO3, an important component of gunpowder, is known as saltpeter. However, since there are over 50 million known chemical compounds, learning a common name for each one would be very difficult. Chemical nomenclature is a systematic method of naming chemical compounds. Having a system for naming means that we don’t have to learn 50 million names, we only have to learn the rules for naming. It also allows scientists who speak different languages to communicate effectively. The rules for chemical nomenclature come from the International Union for Pure and Applied Chemistry (IUPAC), a group made up of chemists from all over the world. In this exercise you will learn rules for naming ionic and covalent compounds and learn to predict the ratios that chemicals combine in based on their ionic charge. A. Naming Type I Binary Ionic Compounds Type I binary ionic compounds are made of (1) a metal that can only have one possible charge and (2) a nonmetal. The metal is the cation, or positively charged ion and the nonmetal is the anion, or negatively charged ion. In the chemical formula, the cation is always written first and the anion is written second. Cations that fall under Type I naming include Group 1A alkali metals, which always form 1+ cations and Group 2A alkaline earth metals which always form 2+ cations. Most transition metals fall under Type II naming, discussed below, but the exceptions are silver (Ag), which always forms 1+ cations and zinc (Zn) and cadmium (Cd), which always form 2+ cations.

  • Chapter 10. Chemical Nomenclature
    Chapter 10. Chemical Nomenclature 10.1. Chemical Language Each society of people has its own language, and it is necessary to learn the language of the society to communicate effectively with it. Imagine, for example, what a foreigner might envision the first time theyheard a sports announcer on a radio use terminology like‘‘steal- ing’’, ‘‘sacrifice’’, and ‘‘high fly’’. The subjects of naming chemical substances, or chemical nomenclature,and writing chemical ‘‘equations’’are basic to communication in the society of chemists. Language communicates information and the language of chemistry has ev olved and improvedwith the understanding of chemical principles. Forthis reason, an understanding of chemical language in not only useful for communicating, but reflects an underlying understanding of the concepts of chemistry. Unfortunately,partly due to historical precedent and partly due to conceptual limita- tions, there is no ultimate chemical language which describes uniquely everything known about a material, including molecular structure and chemical properties, and it may be assumed that chemical concepts yet to be discovered will lead to newways of describing that knowledge.1 Forthis reason, several different systems of terminology areinuse today,each with advantages and disadvantages. It is assumed that somewhere along the career of the chemist, mentioning something likehydrogen sulfide will conjure up memories of rotten eggs and bent bonds the way the mention of the word water connotes a cool liquid that satisfies thirst and the symbols H2O. The best we can do here is to introduce a fewcommunication methods students are likely to encounter in introductory courses. Chemical language is similar to other human languages, with element symbols forming the alphabet, chemical formulas the words, chemical equations the sentences and multistep chemical processes the paragraphs.

  • Nomenclature Notes
    Rules of Nomenclature for Binary Compounds There are three types of binary compounds: Type I. A metal of fixed charge and a nonmetal; Type II. A metal of variable charge and a nonmetal; and Type III. Two nonmetals Metals of ‘variable charge’ tend to be transition elements with some exceptions; metals of fixed charge tend to be the alkali metals and the alkaline earths, along with zinc, cadmium and silver. Nonmetals are those compounds to the right of the bold zig-zag line (see Periodic Table attached) The rules for naming binary compounds are then as follows: • Rule 1. When writing a formula or naming a compound: a). For Type I and Type II compounds, first list the metal then the nonmetal; b) For Type III compounds always list the electropositive species first (the element furthest left in the periodic table) and then the electronegative species. Type III species tend to be exclusively covalently bound compounds. NOTE: It becomes very important that you KNOW YOUR IONS AND THEIR CHARGES (especially the anions, since any given element anion does not have varying charges)!!! • Rule 2. All compound must be neutral UNLESS indicated otherwise. • Rule 3. When naming binary compounds: a). For compounds of Type I and Type II, always use the FULL name of the metal and add the suffix -ide to the root name of the nonmetal (i.e. Metal Nonmetide); b). Type II compounds are handled the same as Type I except the charge on the metal is indicated by using a roman numeral in parentheses immediately following the metal (i.e.
