Do Elements exist?
Periodicity
When one looks at the chemical properties of
elements, one notices a repeating pattern of
reactivity.

Periodic Table
Nonmetals are on the right side of the periodic
table (with the exception of H).
Periodic Table
Metalloids border the stair-step line (with the
exception of Al and Po).
Periodic Table
Metals are on the left side of the chart.
A molecule is an aggregate of two or more
nonmetals in a definite arrangement held
together by chemical bonds
H2
H2O
NH3
CH4
A diatomic molecule contains only two atoms
H2, N2, O2, Br2, HCl, CO
A polyatomic molecule contains more than
two atoms
O3, H2O, NH3, CH4

A molecular formula shows the exact number of
atoms of each element in the individual molecules
which are held together by weak attractive forces.
An empirical formula shows the simplest
whole-number ratio of the atoms in a substance

Diatomic Molecules
These seven elements occur naturally as
molecules containing two atoms.

How can we name these? Remember the
Law of multiple proportions.

Nomenclature of Binary Molecular
Compounds
• The lowest or most to the
left atom is usually listed
first.
• A prefix is used to denote
the number of atoms of
each element in the
compound (mono- is not
used on the first element
listed.)
Nomenclature of Binary
Compounds
• The ending is changed to ide.
– CO2: carbon dioxide
– CCl4: carbon tetrachloride
Nomenclature of Binary Compounds
If the prefix ends with a or
o and the name of the
element begins with a
vowel, the two successive
vowels are often
condensed:
N2O5: dinitrogen pentoxide

An ion is an atom, or group of atoms, that has a net
positive or negative charge.
cation – ion with a positive charge
If a neutral atom loses one or more electrons
it becomes a cation.
Na
11 protons
11 electrons
Na+
11 protons
10 electrons
anion – ion with a negative charge
If a neutral atom gains one or more electrons
it becomes an anion.
Cl
17 protons
17 electrons
Cl-
17 protons
18 electrons

Common Anions
Patterns in Oxyanion Nomenclature
• When there are two oxyanions involving the
same element:
– The one with fewer oxygens ends in -ite
• NO2− : nitrite; SO32− : sulfite
– The one with more oxygens ends in -ate
• NO3− : nitrate; SO42− : sulfate
A monatomic ion contains only one atom
Na+, Cl-, Ca2+, O2-, Al3+, N3-
A polyatomic ion contains more than one atom
OH-, CN-, NH4+, NO3-

• When atoms lose or gain electrons, they become
ions.
– Cations are positive and are formed by metals.
– Anions are negative and are formed by nonmetals.
– Some elements only have one stable ionic state!
ionic compounds consist of a combination of cations
and an anions
• the formula is reported as an empirical formula
• the sum of the charges on the cation(s) and anion(s) in each
formula unit must equal zero
The ionic compound NaCl
2.6
Writing Formulas
• Because compounds are electrically neutral, one
can determine the formula of a compound this
way:
– The charge on the cation becomes the subscript on the
anion.
– The charge on the anion becomes the subscript on the
cation.
– If these subscripts are not in the lowest whole-number
ratio, divide them by the greatest common factor.

Inorganic Nomenclature
• Write the name of the cation.
• If the anion is an monoatomic ion, change
its ending to -ide; if the anion is a
polyatomic ion … do you want to memorize
400+ of these?
• If the cation can have more than one
possible charge, write the charge as a
Roman numeral in parentheses.

Acid Nomenclature
• An anion with H+.
• If the anion in the acid ends in -ide, change the
ending to -ic acid and add the prefix hydro- :
– HCl: hydrochloric acid
– HBr: hydrobromic acid
– HI: hydroiodic acid
Acid Nomenclature
• An anion with H+.
• If the anion in the acid ends in -ite, change the
ending to -ous acid:
– HClO: hypochlorous acid
– HClO2: chlorous acid
Acid Nomenclature
• An anion with H+.
• If the anion in the acid ends in -ate, change the
ending to -ic acid:
– HClO3: chloric acid
– HClO4: perchloric acid

Oxidation Number or State
The charge the atom would have in a compound if
electrons were completely transferred.
Electron Book Keeping Method.
1. Free elements in their standard state have an
oxidation number of zero.
Na, Be, K, Pb, H2, O2, P4 = 0
2. In monatomic ions, the oxidation number is equal to
the charge on the ion.
Li+, Li = +1; Fe3+, Fe = +3; O2-, O = -2
3. The oxidation number of oxygen is usually –2. In H2O2
and O22- it is –1.
4.4
4. The oxidation number of hydrogen is +1 except when
it is bonded to metals in binary compounds. In these
cases, its oxidation number is –1.
5. Group IA metals are +1, IIA metals are +2 and fluorine is
always –1.
6. The sum of the oxidation numbers of all the atoms in a
molecule or ion is equal to the charge on the
molecule or ion.
