BMB 207 Lecture Notes - Lecture 12: Ionic Bonding, Covalent Bond, Octet Rule
Document Summary
Iupac (international union of pure and applied chemistry) provides rules for systematic naming of chemical compounds. Iupac rules for naming binary covalent compounds. Write the name of the least electronegative atom first. Given as the first name in a compound. Write the name of the second element replacing the suffix with -ide . Add prefixes to tell how many atoms of each element are present. Ex. (ibr) iodine monobromide, (so3) sulfur trioxide. Some hydrogen-containing compounds are named as if they are made of ions. Other hydrogen containing compounds are acids with special names. Most carbon compounds are classified as organic compounds and follow different. Ions of opposite charge will attract each other to form an ionic compound. Ionic compounds are formed as a results of the transfer of one or more electrons from an electron donor to an electron acceptor which is more electronegative.
