Title of Lab CHEM 1041 Bhakti Patel
IntroductionFor this experiment there are many objectives that are going to be present for us such while we are conducting our experiment. It helps us distinguish between what is molecular compound and ionic compounds. It also helps us interpret the formulas and names all the polyatomic ions, molecular
compounds, as well as ionic compounds, and the acids. This experiment would help us learn rules of converting the names of various compounds to their formulas. This experiment is separated into two different exercises.
Exercise #1- Preparation for Naming Ionic and Molecular Compounds The materials needed for this exercise are some colored pencils, an access to printer, flashcards, and a pen/pencil. For Data Table 1 Firstly, I was asked to get a printed copy of the periodic table that is provided in the background of the experiment. With the help of the periodic table I was required to color all the groups of elements ( which includes metals, nonmetals, partial metals, etc.) and color the periodic table accordingly. I was also instructed to create flashcards of the common polyatomic ions that is provided in Table 2 of the Background pages, the flashcards had to give the name of each element’s ion, formula, and the charge that each one possessed. I was able to place all the polyatomic ions as they varied in their oxidation state on the same flashcard. After I completed the flashcards, I even created the cards for the strong acids that is provided in Table 3 and the diatomic atoms in Table 4. The flashcards for the acids and diatomic atoms only required for their names and formulas. After getting done with the flashcards and coloring the periodic table I took pictures of them by using my phone and sending them to my laptop. After receiving them on my laptop, I resized the pictures and then sort them in Data Table 1 according to the slots that they belonged in. Data Table 1 can be found below. Document

Exercise #2- Naming Ionic and Molecular Compounds The only materials that were required for this exercise were flashcards and periodic table that were created for our first exercise. Data Table 2 It provides the formulas for 20 different kinds of binary compounds. I was asked to regulate whether these compounds were ionic or molecular and was asked to provide the names of each compound. I figured out whether these compounds were ionic or molecular by perceiving the elements that were present within them. If any of the compounds possessed a metal cation and a nonmetal anion, then I considered them as ionic, but if they possessed to two nonmetals then I considered them as molecular. After knowing the type of compound, I named them. If the compound was ionic and it did not possess a transition with any variable charge, then I had to place the name of the metal followed by the name of the nonmetal by placing the suffix “-ide” with it. If the compound was ionic and if it had a transition metal with a variable charge, then I had to be placed a roman numeral that represented the charge. This would result in the sum of the charges of the compound being 0. We know that there are naming rules for the molecular compounds, So I had to manually list the elements in the order presented in the formula and add prefixes to each element by illustrating the number of atoms of that particular element in the compound. If the first element had a prefix “mono- “, it could be released, and similarly to the 5
way ionic compound names end like molecular compounds end with the last element ending with the suffix “-ide”. I recorded my findings for the types of compounds and the names in Data Table which are found below. #

For Data Table 3 I was given the names of some binary compounds and was asked to give the type of compound that each one of them are and the formula for each. I considered the rules for naming the compounds and used my information on how to apply those rules to regulate if each of them were either molecular or ionic and note down their formulas. However, with ionic compounds the names don’t give the number of atoms per each element present, so we need to determine the charges of each element and then place the correct number of each element that is needed to guarantee the sum of charges is 0. I even provided my findings in Data Table 3 which is given below. #

Data Table 4 gives the formulas of polyatomic ions and acids and askes we students to give the name of the compounds. To start I considered if the formula signified a polyatomic ion or an acid. For the formulas of polyatomic ions, I considered the periodic table to determine if the metal cation had any fixed or variable charges. I used the flashcards I had made before for my exercise 1 to determine the ion. Then I placed the name of the metal cation in front of the named ions, if the metal was a transition metals then I made sure to place the suitable roman numeral along with it. However, if the ion look like an ion found the flashcard, but if they had a different oxidation state, then I had to change the suffix and prefix accordingly. If the compound was an acid, then I am supposed to know if it was a oxoacids or binary acid. If the acid was binary, I have to place “hydro- “, in front followed by the second element then place “acid” behind it. However, the acid was an oxoacid then it does not contain the “hydro- “, and I had to know if there were any prefixes or suffixes after looking at the anion. I know Oxoacids also end with “acid” at the back of their name. I have recorded all the names of the compounds in Data Table given below. #

This table is similar to the above, but instead of the formulas it states the names of the polyatomic ions and acids and inquires me to deliver the formulas for these compounds. I used my knowledge of the rules provided above the top data to help me in consider the formulas for each name that are given. I was also essential for me to use the flascards to find the charges of the ions based on the formulas to determine how many of cation and anion was needed in the formulas so that it could give a neutral charge. I recorded my all my data below: #

While I was conducting this exercise, I was given few questions that I was supposed to answer for. The First had to determine the effect oh H+ to polyatomic ion phosphate. I realized it increase the charge by 1 because of +1 hydrogen charge. Therefore, the new compound formed is Hydrogen Phosphate. Secondly, I was supposed to consider the metals tat posses the fixed charged of +3 which were Group IIIA and the Period 3 that considered aluminum. Thirdly, we got to consider the difference between molecular and Ionic compounds. I learned ionic compounds contain metallic cations and nonmetal anion, whereas molecular compounds contains about two nonmetals,
ConclusionThis experiment has significantly advanced my understanding of the differences between molecular and ionic compounds both in the naming conventions and the formulas themselves. I also now possess a better understanding of acids and polyatomic ions because of these exercises, specifically Exercise #2 Data Tables #4 and #5. I feel like this experiment has helped further my growth with understanding these different types of compounds.
