Chemical Bonding
Determining Bond Type
There are two main bond types ionic
and covalent.
Ionic bonds can be identified because...
The first element is a metal (cation)
The second element is a nonmetal (anion)
The formula may include a polyatomic
ion look for formulae that start with a
metal and have 3 or more elements.
Covalent bonds can be identified
because...
2
The first element is a nonmetal
Ionic Formulae
Formula Structure
Elements present
Subscripts* (shows how much of each
element)
*
If no subscript is present it
means that there is only one
atom of that element
This is a molecule of a molecular comp
36
Molecular Nomenclature
Naming Rules
Write the names of both elements.
You will only learn covalent naming for
binary compounds
Change the ending of the second
element to -ide.
Add prefixes to each element to indicate
the subscripted number of atoms present.
If the first element only has one atom then
carbon oxide
dioxide
oxygen
no prefix is added.
Example: CO2 becomes 37
Molecular Nomenclature
Prefixes
- Greek prefixes used
1. mono-
2. di
3. tri-
4. tetra-
5. penta-
6. hexa-
7. hepta-
8. octa-
9. nona-
10. deca-
- The final o or a of the prefix is usually
dropped when preceding an element 38
beginning with a vowel.
Binary/Ternary Acid
Nomenclature
Binary Acids are acids made of two
components.
Hydrogen and,
A single nonmetal (F, S, Cl, Se, Br, and I)
Ternary Acids are acids made of two
components.
Hydrogen and,
A polyatomic ion
Acids act as molecular and ionic
compounds. 39
Binary Acid Formulae
Formula Structure
Elements present (always starts with
hydrogen)
Subscripts* (shows how much of each
element)
HCl This is hydrochloric ac
*
If no subscript is present it
means that there is only one
atom of that element
This is a molecule of a molecular comp

Binary Acid Nomenclature
Naming those featuring a single
nonmetal
Write hydro immediately followed by
the second element, the nonmetal.
Change the ending of the second
element to -ic.
Had this been a normal molecular formulae
the ending would have been ide
It maybe helpful to think Change ide to
ic.
hydrochlorine
hydrochloric acid
Write the word acid 41
Ternary Acid Formulae
Formula Structure
Elements present (always starts with
hydrogen)
Subscripts* (shows how much of each
element)
HNO2 This is nitrous acid
*
If no subscript is present it
means that there is only one
atom of that element
This is a molecule of a molecular comp
42
Binary Acid Nomenclature
Naming those featuring a polyatomic
ion
Write the name of the polyatomic ion.
Change the ending of the polyatomic
ion
-ate turns to -ic. Change ate to ic.
-ite turns to ous. Change ite to ous.
Write the word acid
nitrous acid
nitrite
