Answers to Worksheet #6 Covalent (Molecular) Compounds 1. When a covalent bond is formed, nonmetals share electrons. The electrons act as glue to keep the atoms together. Binary Compounds with Hydrogen When naming binary (two elements, here H + 1 other element) compounds containing hydrogen and another nonmetal, name the hydrogen first, and then name the nonmetal as if it were an anion. In other words, change its ending to ide. When making formulas from names, assume that hydrogen has a +1 charge and give the other nonmetal the charge it would normally get. Remember to balance the charges so that the net charge is zero. 2. a) hydrogen chloride; b) hydrogen sulfide; c) hydrogen bromide; d) hydrogen fluoride; e) hydrogen selenide. 3. a) HI; b) HF; c) H 2 S; d) H 2 Se. Naming Covalent Compounds Name the element with the lowest group number first (exception: If a compound contains only a halogen and oxygen, name the halogen first). The lowest group number element keeps its name. If there is more than one of the lower group element, use the prefixes below, which you should memorized (do not use mono). The higher group number element changes its ending to ide. Always use the prefixes for the higher group number element. Example: CO 2. C is the lower group number, so it will be named first and will keep its name. There is only one of it, so a prefix will not be used. O is the higher group number so it will be named second and the prefix di will be used. CO 2 is carbon dioxide. To write formulas from names, write the elements in order of appearance, and give subscripts equal to the prefixes. Example: dinitrogen tetraoxide. Nitrogen will be written first, and there are two of them. Oxygen will be written second and there are four of them. Dinitrogen tetraoxide is N 2 O 4. Prefixes: 1 = mono; 2 = di; 3 = tri; 4 = tetra; 5 = penta; 6 = hexa; 7 = hepta; 8 = octa; 9 = nona; 10 = deca. 4. a) carbon disulfide; b) silicon tetrafluoride; c) chlorine pentafluoride; d) sulfur dioxide; e) dinitrogen pentoxide; f) phosphorous pentachloride; g) silicon dioxide; h) dichlorine hexoxide; i) disulfur dichloride; j) sulfur tetrafluoride. 5. a) C 3 S 2 ; b) BrCl 3 ; c) N 2 O 3 ; d) P 4 S 3 ; e) SF 6 ; f) ICl 3 ; g) S 2 F 10 ; h) PF 5 ; i) ClO; j) N 2 O.
Naming Acids Naming Polyatomic Acids: Acids containing a polyatomic ion are named according to the name of the polyatomic ion. If the polyatomic ion s name ends in ite change it to ous and put the second word acid. (Example: HNO 2 NO 2 is nitrite, so the name will be nitrous acid.) If the polyatomic ion s name ends in ate change it to ic and put the second word acid (remember: I ate an icky bug). (Example: HNO 3 NO 3 is nitrate, so the name will be nitric acid.). The only exception to this is hydrocyanic acid, HCN, which gets the prefix hydro along with the ending change. To write formulas from names, balance the charge of the polyatomic ion with H +, remembering to always write the H first. So, chloric acid: the ending is ic, so the polyatomic ion is chlorate, ClO 3. One H + is needed to balance the 1 charge on chlorate, so chloric acid is HClO 3. 6. a) sulfuric acid; b) nitric acid; c) hypochlorous acid; d) perchloric acid; e) acetic acid 7. a) HCN; b) H 3 PO 4 ; c) HClO 2 ; d) H 2 CO 3 ; e) H 2 SO 3 ; f) H 2 CrO 4. 1.
