For this question, we're going to go through the names and formulas for several ionic compounds, as well as covalent compounds, and talk about some of the rules associated with naming and formula writing for those compounds.
00:14
So starting off, we've got a group of compounds that we're going to write the formulas for, and these are all ionic compounds.
00:22
So first we have sodium nitrate.
00:25
Its formula is n -a -n -o -3.
00:30
Then we have potassium acetate, which is going to be k -c -2 -h -3 -o -2.
00:46
Then we have aluminum sulfate, which will be al2.
00:52
Our sulfate will go in parentheses, so al2, s -o -4, and then three.
00:59
Then we have lithium chromate.
01:01
This is, excuse me, lithium chlorate, which is l -i -c -l -o -3.
01:08
Next is magnesium nitrate, which will be mg, parentheses, n -o -3, parentheses, 2.
01:18
Then we have ammonium acetate, which will be nh4, c2h -3 -o -2.
01:28
Next, we have potassium dichromate, which is k2, cr2, o7.
01:38
Then we have sodium sulfate, which is n -a -2 -s -o -4, then we have ammonium sulfate, which will be parentheses nh4, parentheses 2, so4, and then we have potassium nitrate, which is k -n -o -3.
02:03
All of these particular compounds contain common metals that are all going to have just one single charge to them, so there's not anything special that we have to do or consider with them.
02:13
The next set of names that we have are compounds that contain transition metals that either have very specific charges that are a little unpredictable or they have multiple charges and we have to consider that when writing the formula.
02:27
So first we have zinc chloride.
02:30
Zinc is always plus two.
02:32
So it's going to be zn, cl2.
02:38
Next we have chromium oxide, chromium 4 oxide, 6 oxide, excuse me.
02:46
So initially when we write this, just in the normal way that we write formulas, it would be cr206.
02:54
However, this is an ionic compound, so it needs to be reduced.
02:58
And so we're going to write it as cro3.
03:06
Next, we've got iron 3 sulfide.
03:14
So this will be f .e .2 .s3.
03:18
And those are some examples of our transition metals.
03:23
Now we're going to move into some naming of ionic compounds.
03:30
So we have mgcl2.
03:34
This particular compound is magnesium chloride.
03:45
Next we have l -i -3n, and this is going to be lithium nitride.
03:59
Now going back to some more formula writing for some ionic compounds.
04:05
We have potassium chloride, which is just kcl.
04:13
Then we have lithium sulfide.
04:15
This is li2s.
04:20
And then we have magnesium phosphide, which is mg3p2.
04:32
Next, we want to look at some lewis dot structures to look at how covalent compounds bond with each other.
04:40
So first we have nitrogen triiodase.
04:44
And this is the formula for that.
04:47
To do the lewis dot structures, we need to know how many valence electrons everyone has.
04:54
So each of our iodines have seven, and we have three of them...
