Binary Compounds
Chemical compound that contains exactly two different elements
Binary Ionic Compounds
-Compounds in which two types of ions (metal cation and nonmetallic anion) combine to form a ionic compound
-Examples are Calcium chloride (CaCl2), sodium fluoride (NaF), and magnesium oxide (MgO),
Two types of Binary Ionic Compounds
Type 1: The binary ionic compound in which cation can has only one form (charge), like Na
+, Mg
+2 and Al
+3.
Few examples of type 1 binary ionic compounds are as, NaCl, KBr, LiF, CaI
2, AlF
3, MgBr
2 etc.
Type 2: The binary ionic compound in which cation can have the multiple forms (charge), like Fe
+2 and Fe
+3
Examples of type 1 binary ionic compounds are as FeCl
2 and FeCl
3, AgCl and AgCl
2.
How to name Binary Ionic Compounds
1. Metal (Cation) + NonMetal (anion) –ide
Example:
NaCl
Na – Sodium
Cl – Chlorine
Sodium + Chlorine –idea = Sodium Chloride
2. Use of –ous and –ic
-ous = lower one
-ic = higher one
Example:
FeCl2 and FeCl3
FeCl2 = Ferrous Chloride or Iron (II) Chloride
FeCl3 = Ferric Chloride or Iron (III) Chloride
Binary Covalent Compounds
-Made from two nonmetal elements. In binary covalent compound sharing of electrons takes place.
-Examples of binary covalent compounds are: N
2O, P
2O
5, N
2H
4, CH
4 and H
2O
.
How to name Binary Covalent Compounds
1.Prefix + Nonmetal + Prefix +nonmetal-ide
List of Prefix:
Example:
N2H4
Di- nitrogen + Tetra- hydrogen –ide
= Dinitrogen Tetrahydride
2. Use of –ous and –ic
-ous = higher
-ic = lower
