Writing & Naming Ionic and Covalent Compounds

Ionic Compound:
-composed of two or more particles  (oppositely charged)
                                                 (ions)
-held together by electrostatic forces.
-electrons are transferred from a metal→non metal.
 
             Physical Properties                     Ionic Compound
              -States                                          - Solid
              -Electrical conductivity                    - Solid:No Liquid:Yes
              -Boiling point and Melting Point       - High
              -Solubility in water                          - Often high
              -Thermal conductivity                      - Low




← example: Sodium Chloride
                           NaCl

Covalent Compound:
   To start off covalent compound, let's look at the prefixes first:
mono-1     tetra-4     hepta-7     deca-10           triskaideca-13
di-2           penta-5    octa-8       hendeca-11    tetrakaideca-14
tri-3           hexa-6     nona-9      dodeca-12      pentakaideca-15

-share electrons
-non metal with non metal
※ Diatomic molecules: Hydrogen, Oxygen, Florine, Nitrogen, Chlorine, Bromine, Iodine

  
             Physical Properties                    Covalent Compund                          
                 -States                                        -Can be a solid, liquid, or gas
                 -Electrical conductivity                  -No
                 -Boiling point and Melting Point      -Low
                 -Solubility in water                        -Variable
                 -Thermal conductivity                    - Usually low
