Chapter 3: Problem 16

The common name for \(\mathrm{NH}_{3}\) is ammonia. What would be the systematic name for \(\mathrm{NH}_{3}\) ? Support your answer.

Short Answer

Expert verified
The systematic name for NH3 is Hydrogen Nitride, following the IUPAC nomenclature guidelines for naming binary compounds.

Step by step solution

01

Identify the elements

In NH3, we have two elements, Nitrogen (N) and Hydrogen (H).
02

Determine the valency

Nitrogen has a valency of 3, and Hydrogen has a valency of 1. In NH3, there is one Nitrogen atom and three Hydrogen atoms.
03

IUPAC nomenclature guidelines

According to the IUPAC nomenclature guidelines for naming binary compounds, we name the compound as follows: 1. The first part of the name uses the full name of the less electronegative element (which is Hydrogen in this case). 2. The second part of the name combines the name of the more electronegative element (Nitrogen) with the suffix "-ide".
04

Combine the parts and determine the systematic name

Following the IUPAC nomenclature guidelines, we have: 1. First part: Hydrogen 2. Second part: Nitrogen + "-ide" = Nitride So, combining the parts, we obtain the systematic name for NH3 as Hydrogen Nitride.

Oxidation of the cyanide ion produces the stable cyanate ion, OCN \(^{-}\). The fulminate ion, \(\mathrm{CNO}^{-}\), on the other hand, is very unstable. Fulminate salts explode when struck; \(\mathrm{Hg}(\mathrm{CNO})_{2}\) is used in blasting caps. Write the Lewis structures and assign formal charges for the cyanate and fulminate ions. Why is the fulminate ion so unstable? (C is the central atom in OCN - and \(\mathrm{N}\) is the central atom in \(\mathrm{CNO}^{-} .\) )
