The document discusses the nomenclature and naming of chemical compounds. It covers naming conventions for ionic compounds containing metals and non-metals, including binary compounds and those with variable oxidation states. It also discusses naming covalent compounds containing two non-metals, acids, bases, and ternary compounds containing metals and radicals. Key aspects covered include using stock and classical naming methods, identifying oxidation states, and determining compound formulas based on charges of ions.

NOMENCLATURE
FORMULA WRITING AND NAMING OF
COMPOUNDS Terms: Chemical formula – a combination of symbols which represents a molecule’s composition Molecule – a group of atoms held together by chemical forces Oxidation number – numerical charge on the atoms of an element (also called valence number) Naming of Compounds I. IONIC - compounds of metals and non-metals A. Binary compounds of metals with fixed ON – composed of two atoms only
Rule: The name of the metallic
element is given first, followed by the stem name of the non-metal ending in – ide. stem name of metal + non-metal ending in – ide Example: Formula Name • Al2O3 • aluminum oxide • CaI2 • potassium chloride • Na2S • Magnesium nitride Exercise 1. MgCl2 2. Li3N 3. Y2O3 4. strontium oxide 5. calcium fluoride 6. magnesium sulfide 7. scandium nitride B. Binary compounds containing metals with variable oxidation numbers B1: Classical Method Rule: The Latin name of the metal is written first with suffixes - ous for lower valence and – ic for higher valence. The name of the anion ending in –ide follows:
Latin name of metal
--ous + anion - ide -- ic + anion – ide Common Latin Names of Elements Cu copper cuprum Sn tin stannum Hg mercury hydrargyrum Pb lead plumbum B2: Stock Method Rule: The English name of the metal is used followed by Roman numeral enclosed in parenthesis which indicates the valence of the metal. The name of the anion ending in –ide follows: English name of metal (RN) + anion-ide Formula Classical Stock FeCl2 FeCl3 SnS SnS2 Exercise •nickel (III) oxide •cobalt(II) sulfide •aurumic bromide •CrN •FeF2 •MnI2 Quiz on Nomenclature 1. Potassium bromide 1. ZnS 2. Barium phosphide 2. CaI2 3. Calcium chloride 3. Li2S 4. Potassium sulfide 4. Hg2Cl2 5. Magnesium hydride 5. CuCl 6. Copper (I) oxide 6. SrO 7. Stannic fluoride 7. NiO 8. Ferric oxide 8. CuCl2 9. Hydrargyrous chloride 9. SnS2 10. Antimony (III) oxide 10. SiO2 Quiz on Nomenclature 1. KBr 1. zinc sulfide 2. Ba3P2 2. calcium iodide 3. CaCl2 3. lithium sulfide 4. K2S 4. mercuric chloride 5. MgH2 5. copper (I) chloride/ cuprous chloride 6. Cu2O 6. strontium oxide 7. SnF4 7. nickel (II) oxide 8. Fe2O3 8. CuCl2 copper (II) chloride/ cupric 9. HgCl2 chloride 10. Sb2O3 9. tin (IV) sulfide/ stannic sulfide 10. silicon (IV) oxide Radicals or polyatomic ions – groups of atoms which act as single units during chemical change Examples: NH4+ - ammonium ion SO4 -2 - sulfate ion C2H3O2 - - acetate ion Stock system – a way of writing/naming compounds using the English name of the metals plus Roman numeral indicating the charge or oxidation number Classical method – uses the Latin name of the metal plus suffixes – ous for lower valence and – ic for higher valence Steps in writing formula: (Principle of electrical neutrality) 1. Identify the charges of the ions using the valence table. Write the cation first followed by the anion. 2. Apply the law of electrical neutrality. If the charges are unequal, do the criss-cross method. That is, the superscript of the cation becomes the subscript of the anion and the superscript of the anion becomes the subscript of the cation. 3. Radicals which have subscripts higher than one should be enclosed in parenthesis. 4. Reduce the subscripts to the lowest ratio. Examples: Write the formula of each of the following: 1. potassium chloride 2. stannous oxide 3. stannic oxide 4. ammonium dichromate 5. Iron (III) phosphate 6. iron (II) phosphate 7. calcium silicate 8. mercurous chloride 9. mercuric chloride 10. sodium sulfide 11. barium sulfite 12. aluminum perchlorate 13. lead (IV) acetate 14. copper (II) iodide 15. cuprous arsenate 1. mercurous chloride 2. mercuric chloride 3. sodium sulfide 4. barium sulfite 5. aluminum perchlorate 6. lead (IV) acetate 7. copper (II) iodide 8. cuprous arsenate 9. AgNO3 10. (H3O)3Fe(CN)6 11. Na2CO3 12. SnSiO3 13. Bi(ClO4)3 14. Zn(MnO4)2 15. C(IO4)2 C. Bases – are compounds of metals and hydroxide ion (OH-)
Classical Stock Fe(OH)2 ferrous hydroxide iron (II) hydroxide Fe(OH)3 ferric hydroxide iron (III) hydroxide D. Ternary compounds – metal and radical

given first followed by the name of the negative radical
name of metal + radical

COVALENT COMPOUNDS - compounds between non-metals A. Covalent compounds containing two non metals Rule: The name of the electropositive ion is given first, then the name of the more electronegative ion which is preceded by a prefix like mono, di, tri, etc. to denote the number of ions. The negative ion ends in – ide. Examples: CO monocarbon monoxide CO2 monocarbon dioxide SO3 monosulfur trioxide CCl4 monocarbon tetrachloride P2O5 diphosphorus pentaoxide/pentoxide Cl2O7 dichlorine heptaoxide/heptoxide B. Acids – compounds containing hydrogen Rule: Anion ending acid name -ide hydro – ic acid -ite - ous acid -ate - ic acid Examples: anion ending acid name HCl chloride hydrochloric acid HBr bromide hydrobromic acid HNO2 nitrite nitrous acid HNO3 nitrate nitric acid HClO hypochlorite hypochlorous acid HClO2 chlorite chlorous acid HClO3 chlorate chloric acid HClO4 perchlorate perchloric acid Exception: H3PO4 phosphate phosphoric acid H2SO4 sulfate sulfuric acid
