Protons
Positive charge (1+)
Mass = 1 amu
Neutrons
No charge
Mass = 1 amu
than proton)
Electrons
Negative charge (1-)
Almost zero mass (1000 xs smaller than
proton)
Neutral atoms:

Representing Molecules
Empirical Formula
Represents the lowest whole-# ratio
of elements in a molecule
Easier to determine experimentally
than the molecular formula
Write the Emp. Formula
C2H4
C2H6
C10H14N2
C6H12O6
Ionic Compounds
Cation and Anion
Needs to be charge-neutral overall
Predict the formula:
Potassium and chlorine
Sodium and oxygen
Calcium and sulfur
Magnesium and nitrogen
Polyatomic Ions
Example
Predict the formula
Aluminum and hydroxide ion
Zinc and cynanide ion
Lithium and phosphate ion
Aluminum and carbonate ion
Example
Name the following
Na2O
Mg3N2
Al(OH)3
CrN
Cr3N2
Fe2O3
Naming Hydrates
Same rules for the ionic part
Add [prefix]hydrate to the end
BaCl22H2O
MgSO47H2O
FeCl25H2O

Naming Acids
Acids contain an H+ ion (more on this
later)
Binary acids:
Hydro-[root]-ic acid
HCl
HF
HBr
H2S
Naming Acids, 2
Oxyacids (made from oxy-polyatomic
ions)
No hydro!
Use root of anion, and change:
ate into ic
ite into ous
HNO3
HNO2
H2SO4
H2SO3
