Compound Names

1. Chemical compounds are made of two or more elements. They contain a cation (positively charged ion) and an anion (negatively charged ion), or two non-metal elements. 2. The naming of chemical compounds is generally related to their chemical formula. Common prefixes are used to indicate quantities of elements or ions present. Suffixes are also used to indicate characteristics like charge number for ions. 3. Proper chemical nomenclature follows standardized rules set by international bodies to unambiguously identify compounds. This includes distinguishing between monoatomic and polyatomic ions through standardized suffixes.
