Binary inorganic compounds

U 1 Name ions, binary inorganic compounds, oxoacids, compounds with common polyatomic ions, and hydrates, and write their formulas (Toolboxes D.l and D.2, Self-Test D.l, and Examples D.l, D.2, and D.3). 

The principal simple binary inorganic compounds that have adequate vapour pressures and thermal stabilities at normal gas chromatographic temperatures are main group hydrides and halides. If high temperature applications with temperatures upto 1000°C or above are also considered, a number of metal oxides also show adequate physical characteristics for undecomposed elution. 

Although hydrocarbons are binary molecular compounds, they are not named like the binary inorganic compounds discussed in Section 2.8. Instead, each alkane has a name that ends in -ane. The alkane with four carbons is called butane. For alkanes with five or more carbons, the names are derived from prefixes like those in Table 2.6. An alkane with eight carbon atoms, for example, is octane (CsHig), where the octa- prefix for eight is combined with the -ane ending for an alkane.

Many binary inorganic compounds can be prepared by simple metathesis reactions as given in Equation 7.1 through Equation 7.3 ... 

The spiral distribution of elements in the new periodic table [2,7] shows very clearly how binary inorganic compounds can form from elements which are equidistant from the fourth and the eighth groups (Fig. 3).

The melting heats AZZm for binary inorganic compounds are presented in Table 9.1, for elements in Table 9.3. Melting heats of organic and organometallic crystals with molecular structures are much smaller. Thus, AH (kJ/mol) = 5.4 for cyclobutane,... 

Inorganic compounds typically do not have any carbon covalently bonded to oxygen, hydrogen, or nitrogen. Now that we know a little about how inorganic compounds are formed, it is also important to know how to name them. For binary inorganic compounds some rules apply. 

Table 3-3, given on the next page, siunmarizes the various pairs of defects possible for binary compounds. Equilibria are given along with the appropriate equilibriiun constant. Note that these equations are rather simple and can be used to specify the equilibrium constants for these defects present in the lattice. These types of defects have been observed and studied in the compounds given under "Example in this Table. These are the major types of defects to be expected in most inorganic compounds, where the number of sites in the lattice is consteuit.

Many binary inorganic phases with a significant composition range can be listed1 (Table 4.3). Apart from binary compounds, ternary and other more complex materials may show nonstoichiometry in one or all atom components.

The three stages of bond formation are not present in all compounds. Binary compounds like NaCl (18189) only show the second stage, the stage which all materials must undergo when they solidify. Since inorganic compounds can only be characterized by the structures of their crystalline solids, the second stage determines which compounds can exist. 

An inorganic compound means, in general, a compound that does nol contain carbon atoms. Some very simple carbon compounds, such as carbon monoxide and dioxide, binary metallic carbon compounds (carbides) and carbonates, arc also included in the group of inorganic compounds. 

Many simple inorganic molecular compounds are named by using the Greek prefixes in Table D.2 to indicate the number of each type of atom present. Usually, no prefix is used if only one atom of an element is present an important exception to this rule is carbon monoxide, CO. Most of the common binary molecular compounds—molecular compounds built from two elements—have at least one element from Group 16 or 17. These elements are named second, with their endings changed to -ide ... 

A binary compound is an inorganic compound that contains two elements. Binary compounds may contain a metal and a non-metal or two non-metals. Binary compounds are often ionic compounds. To name a binary ionic compound, name the cation first and the anion second. For example, the compound that contains sodium and chlorine is called sodium chloride.
