What's the difference between empirical and molecular formulas?

Empirical = simplest whole-number ratio of atoms in a compound (EX: CH₂O for glucose)

Molecular = the exact number of atoms of each element in a molecule (EX: C₆H₁₂O₆  for glucose)

Explain how to name: a) ionic compounds and b) molecular compounds.

a) Write the element name of the cation (metal) first.

If the metal is a transition metal, a roman numeral is required to indicate the charge.

This is followed by the anion (non-metal) element name, ending in “-ide”.

b) First, write the element name of first element in the bond. If there is more than one ion, add the corresponding prefix to the beginning of the word.

Then, for the second element, begin the name with the prefix corresponding to the number of ions for that element and end the word with “-ide”.

List the steps to determining the empirical formula when given percent composition and the molar mass of a compound.

1. Divide percentages (in grams) by the molar mass of their respective elements to get the mole values of each element.

2. Divide all mole values by the element with the smallest value (this should give you a whole number). 

If it does NOT give you a whole number, the following must be done: a) if number ends in "0.5", multiply all mole values by '2', b) if number ends in "0.3" mulitply all mole values by '3'


3. Once whole number mole values acquired, these will be subscripts to the symbols in the formula.

List the steps to determining the molecular formula when given percent composition and the molar mass of a compound.

1. Divide percentages (in grams) by the molar mass of their respective elements to get the mole values of each element.

2. Divide all mole values by the element with the smallest value (this should give you a whole number).

3. Once whole number mole values acquired, these will be subscripts to the symbols in the formula.

[This gets you empirical formula]


4. Determine molar mass of the empirical formula


5. Divide the given molar mass by the empirircal molar mass. This yields a whole, unitless number.


6. Multiply subscripts of the empirircal formula by the whole, unitless number determined in the last step.
