Why? When you began chemistry class this year, you probably already knew that the chemical formula for carbon dioxide was CO2. Today you will find out why CO2 is named that way. Naming chemical compounds correctly is of paramount importance. The slight difference between the names carbon monoxide (CO, a poisonous, deadly gas) and carbon dioxide (CO2, a greenhouse gas that we exhale when we breathe out) can be the difference between life and death! In this activity you will learn the naming system for molecular compounds.

  • Interhalogen Compounds
    INTERHALOGEN COMPOUNDS Smt. EDNA RICHARD Asst. Professor Department of Chemistry INTERHALOGEN COMPOUND An interhalogen compound is a molecule which contains two or more different halogen atoms (fluorine, chlorine, bromine, iodine, or astatine) and no atoms of elements from any other group. Most interhalogen compounds known are binary (composed of only two distinct elements) The common interhalogen compounds include Chlorine monofluoride, bromine trifluoride, iodine pentafluoride, iodine heptafluoride, etc Interhalogen compounds into four types, depending on the number of atoms in the particle. They are as follows: XY XY3 XY5 XY7 X is the bigger (or) less electronegative halogen. Y represents the smaller (or) more electronegative halogen. Properties of Interhalogen Compounds •We can find Interhalogen compounds in vapour, solid or fluid state. • A lot of these compounds are unstable solids or fluids at 298K. A few other compounds are gases as well. As an example, chlorine monofluoride is a gas. On the other hand, bromine trifluoride and iodine trifluoride are solid and liquid respectively. •These compounds are covalent in nature. •These interhalogen compounds are diamagnetic in nature. This is because they have bond pairs and lone pairs. •Interhalogen compounds are very reactive. One exception to this is fluorine. This is because the A-X bond in interhalogens is much weaker than the X-X bond in halogens, except for the F-F bond. •We can use the VSEPR theory to explain the unique structure of these interhalogens. In chlorine trifluoride, the central atom is that of chlorine. It has seven electrons in its outermost valence shell. Three of these electrons form three bond pairs with three fluorine molecules leaving four electrons.

    2,972,639 United States Patent Office Patented Feb. 2, 196 2 It has been found that nitriles react with bromine tri fluoride to replace the nitrogen of the nitrile with fluorine. The reaction proceeds readily at low temperature and 2,972,639 is actually so exothermic that cooling of the reaction PROCESS FOR THE PREPARATION OF mixture is generally necessary. The nitrile is dissolved FSUBi380HYDROCARBONS in hydrogen fluoride or iodine pentafluoride and the Travis E. Stevens, Heatsville, Ala., assignor to Rohm bromine trifluoride added to the solution incrementally. & Haas Company, Philadelphia, Pa., a corporation of When the reaction is complete, the products are re Delaware covered by distillation from the reaction mixture. 0. The nitriles suitable for use in the process of this No Drawing. Filed Aug. 24, 1959, Ser. No. 835,394 invention are of the general formula 6 Claims. (C. 260-653.8) in which R is a lower alkyl group containing 1 to 4 This invention concerns a process for the preparation 5 carbon atoms, a lower monohaloalkyl, lower dihaloalkyl, of fluorohydrocarbons. More particularly, it concerns a or lower polyhaloalkyl group containing 1 to 4 carbon straightforward process which produces fluorine deriva atoms and the halo group is fluorine, chlorine or bro tives in high yields from readily available raw mate mine, or a lower alkenyl group containing 2 to 4 carbon rials. atoms. Typical examples of such nitriles include aceto The term "fluorohydrocarbon" as used throughout this 20 nitrile, propionitrile, butyronitrile, isobutyronitrile, mono application refers to difluoro or trifluoro aliphatic hydro chloroacetonitrile, y-bromobutyronitrile, dichloroaceto carbons.
