Mono is rarely used when naming the first element, but mono is used in naming the second element (e.g. CO is carbon monoxide). • mono = 1 • hexa = 6 • di = 2 • hepta = 7 • tri = 3 • octa = 8 • tetra = 4 • nona = 9 • penta = 5 • deca = 10 45 Examples 46 dinitrogen trioxide N2O3 indicates two indicates three nitrogen atoms oxygen atoms 47 dichlorine heptaoxide Cl2O7 indicates two indicates seven chlorine atoms oxygen atoms Why does chlorine appear first in the formula and oxygen second? Oxygen is more electronegative than chlorine; the more electronegative element appears second in the formula and the name. Electronegativity is the relative ability of an atom in a bond to attract the bonding electrons toward itself and away from the atom it is bonded to. 48 Electronegativity increases from the lower left to the upper right for representative elements. 49 Step by Step Approach to Naming a Binary Molecular Compounds, PCl5 Step 1 • Phosphorous and chlorine are nonmetals so the rules for naming a binary molecular compound applies. • Phosphorous is named first and chlorine second. (recall Cl is more electronegative: See 11.6). Therefore, in the name, phosphorous remains phosphorous and chlorine becomes chloride. 50 Step by Step Approach to Naming Binary Molecular Compounds, Cont. Step 2 • No prefix is needed for phosphorous because there is only one phosphorous atom. The prefix penta- is used with chloride because there are 5 chlorine atoms present. Step 3 • The name is phosphorous pentachloride. 51 Examples 52 Cl2O3 dichlorine trioxide 53 N2O3 dinitrogen trioxide 54 Acids Derived from Binary Compounds of Hydrogen 55 Certain binary hydrogen compounds, when dissolved in water, form solutions that have acid properties. • The aqueous solutions of these compounds are given acid names. 56 Pure solid or gaseous compound HCl Hydrogen Chloride Dissolved in water HCl Hydrochloric acid 57 • To write the formula of binary acids write the symbol of hydrogen first. • After hydrogen, write the symbol of the second element; typically a nonmetal. • To name binary acids, place the prefix hydro- in front of the stem of the nonmetal name. • Then place the suffix -ic after the stem of the nonmetal name followed by acid. 58 Examples 59 Pure Solid or Gaseous Compound HCl hydrogen chloride 60 Dissolved in Water HCl hydrochloric acid 61 Pure Solis or Gaseous Compound HI hydrogen iodide 62 Dissolved in Water HI hydroiodic acid 63 Naming Compounds Containing Polyatomic Ions 64 A polyatomic ion is an ion that contains two or more elements. The nitrate anion is an example. - NO3 65 66 • When naming a compound containing a polyatomic ion, name the cation first and then name the anion. Na23 CO In writing the formula, the cation(s) appears first followed by the polyatomic ion. 67 Oxy-acids 68 Oxy-acids contain hydrogen, a nonmetal, or a metal, and oxygen.
