Good Day!!! Let us Name all the Compounds and Discover the Beauty of Science
through this Strategic Invention Materials (SIM). This module will help you to understand
what are Compounds :

Compound
 its definition
 Naming Compounds
Compound is a substance that results from combination of two or more different
chemical elements, in such a way that the atoms of the different elements are held
together by chemical bonds that are difficult to break. These bonds form as a of the
sharing or exchange of electrons among the atoms. The smallest unbreakable unit of a
molecule.

 As you will work on this SIM, you will engage in activities and exercises that you
will find interesting to work on diligently and you will learned,. I hope through this
SIM you will become more in science and make your learning more meaningful.

WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW

A compound is a substance formed when two or more chemical elements are

chemically bonded together. In mixtures, the substances present are not chemically
bonded together.

A compound differs from a mixture, in which bonding among the atoms of the
constituent substances does not occur. In some situations, different elements react with each
other when they are mixed, forming bonds among the atoms and thereby producing
molecules of a compound. In other scenarios different elements can be mixed and no
reaction occurs, so the elements retain their individual identities.

Naming Compounds
Chemical compounds can be divided into two basic types, ionic and covalent. Ionic
compounds are easily recognized because they contain a metal and a nonmetal. Covalent
compounds are those which contain only nonmetals. The periodic table in the front cover of
your text shows which elements fall into each class.

The names for ionic compounds are very simple. The first part of the name is simply the name
of the metal element. The second part of the name is the name of the nonmetal element,
with the ending changed to the suffix –ide. For example, consider the compound Al2O3. While
the subscripts indicate that the compound consists of two atoms of aluminum and three
atoms of oxygen, these numbers do not affect the name. The first part of the name would be
aluminum. For the second part of the name, we drop the ending on oxygen and add –ide,
thus it becomes oxide. The name of the compound is then aluminum oxide.

4
When an ionic compound contains a transition metal, the names become a bit more
complicated. The metals in the d and f blocks can have more than one charge and can thus
form more than one compound. For example, iron and chlorine form two different
compounds, FeCl2 and FeCl3. To distinguish them, we add a Roman numeral to indicate the
charge on the metal ion. For FeCl2, the total charge on the two chloride ions is 2-, thus the
iron must have a charge of 2+ to balance. The name of this compound is then iron(II) chloride.
For FeCl3, the total charge on three chloride ions is 3-, so the iron will have a charge of 3+ and
the name of the compound is iron(III) chloride.

There is a special class of ions known as polyatomic ions. These ions consist of two or more
nonmetal atoms covalently bonded together, and the entire group has a positive or negative
charge. You will be responsible for learning a total of eight of these ions, but by applying
some simple rules, you can determine the formulas and names of many more. These three
rules are

 1. Add a hydrogen atom to a polyatomic anion. This reduces the negative charge on the
ion by one and the word hydrogen is added to the beginning of the name. For
example, the carbonate ion has the formula CO3 2- . A hydrogen can be added to the
ion to form the hydrogen carbonate ion, which has a formula of HCO3 - .
2. 2. An oxygen can be removed from an ion. This does not affect the charge and the
ending of the name is changed from –ate to –ite. The nitrate ion has the formula NO3-
. The nitrite ion, NO2- , is formed by removing one oxygen atom from the nitrate.
3. The central atom in the ion can be exchanged with another element in the same
group on the periodic table. The sulfate ion has the formula SO42-. The sulfur can be
replaced by either selenium or tellurium, forming a selenate ion, SeO42-or a tellurate
ion, TeO4 2-..

Not all polyatomic ions can undergo all three of these changes. Carbonate ions can add a
hydrogen, but cannot lose oxygen or switch with another element in Group IVA. Nitrate ions
can lose an oxygen, but cannot add a hydrogen or switch with an element in Group VA.
Phosphate ions, PO4 3-, and sulfate ions can do all three. A complete list of the polyatomic ions
you need to know are listed below. The eight major ions are shown in bold, with the related
ions for each shown below them.

Like transition metal ionic compounds, nonmetal elements commonly form two or more
covalent compounds. For example, carbon and oxygen form both CO and CO2 . They can’t
both be called carbon oxide, so we have to have a way of telling them apart. One of these is a
highly toxic gas, while the other is used to carbonate beverages, so you certainly wouldn’t
want to mix them up!
To distinguish covalent compounds or molecules with more than one formula, prefixes are
used to indicate how many atoms of each element are present. The prefixes commonly used
are shown in the table below.
Number of Atoms Prefix
1 Mono
2 Di
3 Tri
4 Tetra
5 Penta
6 Hexa
7 Hepta
8 Octa
For example, CO would be called carbon monoxide. The prefix mono is commonly left out of
the name. The assumption is that no prefix means that there is only one of that atom.
8
The mono prefix in carbon monoxide is used because it has been in common use since the
early days of chemistry. The compound NO is simply called nitrogen oxide.
CO2 is then carbon dioxide, N2S3 is dinitrogen trisulfide, PF5 is phosphorous pentasulfide, and
so on. Elements are also named in this way, since they can exist in multiple forms, called
allotropes. For example, oxygen is found in nature as both O2 and O3. While these two gases
are commonly called oxygen and ozone, respectively, their official names are dioxygen and
trioxygen.

CLARITY OF YOUR
MIND. STRENGTH COMES FROM PUTTING THE NEGATIVE
ASIDE
WITHOUT REACTING. WIN IN CALMNESS, IN
CONSCIOUSNESS,
IN BALANCE.”
 Sometimes, when elements are mixed, the reaction occurs slowly (as when iron
Is exposed to oxygen); in other cases it takes place rapidly (as when lithium is exposed to
oxygen). Sometimes, when an element is exposed to a compound, a reaction occurs in which
new compounds are formed (as when pure elemental sodium is immersed in liquid water).
Often, a compound looks and behaves nothing like any of the elements that
Comprise it. Consider for example, hydrogen (H) and oxygen (O). Both of these elements are
gases room temperature and normal atmospheric pressure. But when they combine into the
familiar compound known as water, each molecule of which contains two hydrogen atoms
and one oxygen atom (H2o), the resulting substance is a liquid at room temperature and
normal atmosphere pressure.
The atoms of a few elements do not readily bond with other elements to form
Compounds. These are called noble or inert gases: helium, neon and radon, Certain elements
readily combine with other elements to form compounds. Examples are oxygen, chlorine, and
fluorine.
