The document discusses the rules for naming ionic compounds, binary ionic compounds, ionic compounds containing transition metals, polyatomic ionic compounds, and binary covalent compounds. Ionic compounds are formed from the transfer of electrons between ions. To name ionic compounds, the cation is identified and named first followed by the anion with the "-ide" suffix. Additional rules apply for compounds containing transition metals or polyatomic ions. Binary covalent compounds are named by identifying the elements and applying prefixes to indicate the number of atoms.

We are going to focus our attention on ionic compounds. We encounter many ionic compounds every day, like sodium chloride, which is table salt, and sodium fluoride, which is found in toothpaste. Ionic compounds Ioniccompounds, just like the name suggests, are made of ions, which are charged particles formed when electrons are transferred between atoms of different elements. The ions that make up an ionic compound are a cation, which is a positive ion, and an anion, which is a negative ion. Ionic compound example The general rules in naming Ionic compound Identify and name the cation Identify and name the anion Binary Ionic Compounds When we think of the word 'binary,' we think of the prefix 'bi-,' which means 'two.' Binary ionic compounds, just like the name suggests, only have two atoms from different elements; one atom is a metal, and the other atom is a nonmetal. How do we know which element is a metal and which is a nonmetal? We can tell this from its position in the periodic table. The elements at the left side of the stairs outlined in black are metals, and those on the right side of the stairs are nonmetals. Periodic table of elements How do we name binary ionic compounds? Identify and name the cation; the cation is the metal. Identify and name the anion, and change the suffix to -ide; the anion is the nonmetal. Samples of binary ionic compounds NaF MgO AlF3 K2S Ca3P2 Al2O3 Note: Metals-red Non-metals -blue Naming Ionic Compounds Containing Transition Metals It follows the same naming rules as the simple binary compounds, but with an extra rule added in. So, you still name the cation first, followed by the anion with the suffix -ide added to the end of it. The new rule is that transition metals form more than one ion, so this has to be accounted for in the naming. We do this by using Roman numerals to denote which ion it is. The Roman numeral will equal the charge on the ion. For instance, Fe2+ is iron (II). Fe3+ is iron (III). Samples of naming Ionic Compounds Containing Transition Metals
Copper (I) oxide Chromium (III) cyanide Cr(OH)3 Hg2O Naming Polyatomic Ionic Compounds A polyatomic ionic compound is a compound made up of a polyatomic ion, which is two or more atoms bonded together, and a metal. Naming polyatomic ions is harder, but doable. First, name the cation, which is just the name of the element. Next, name the anion. This gets trickier. Let's first talk about a polyatomic ionic compound that contains oxygen. If the polyatomic anion contains oxygen, it is called an oxyanion. If it can form more than one form of oxyanion, it gets a suffix of either -ate or -ite. There are some common oxyanions that most people memorize. If an oxyanion can form only two different kinds of oxyanions, the name of the ion with the greater number of atoms ends in -ate and the smaller number of atoms ends in -ite.

Sodium chromate Calcium carbonate Magnesium nitrate Cs2CrO4 NH4OH Naming Binary Covalent Compounds The element with the lower group number is written first in the name; the element with the higher group number is written second in the name. If both elements are in the same group, the element with the higher period number is written first in the name. The second element in the name is named as if it were an anion, i.e., by adding the suffix -ide to the name of the element Greek prefixes (see the Table provided at the bottom of this page) are used to indicate the number of atoms of each nonmetal element in the chemical formula for the compound. Greek Prefixes prefix number indicated mono- 1 di- 2 tri- 3 tetra- 4 penta- 5 hexa- 6 hepta- 7 octa- 8 nona- 9 deca- 10 Sample of naming Binary Covalent Compounds
