Naming Formulas

1. The document provides instructions for naming binary compounds containing metals and nonmetals, as well as compounds containing polyatomic ions. Binary compounds are named by writing the metal first followed by the nonmetal with the "-ide" ending. 2. For metals with variable oxidation states, the oxidation number is specified using Roman numerals in parentheses (stock system) or suffixes "-ous" and "-ic" (classical system). 3. Binary compounds of two nonmetals use prefixes to name compounds such as carbon monoxide (CO) and carbon dioxide (CO2). 4. When naming acids, the hydrogen comes first followed by the nonmetal with "-ide" or prefixes "hydro-" and

Naming Formulas

1. In naming binary compounds containing metals with fixed oxidation number, the metal
is named first, followed by the nonmetal with the ending –ide.
Example: Ca3N2 = calcium nitride

Exercises:
1. CaBr2 4. KCl
2. Mg3N2 5. Na2O
3. Al2S3

2. In naming binary compounds containing metals with variable oxidation numbers, the
oxidation number must be specified.

Two types of naming system:


1. Stock system – the oxidation number is indicated by Roman numeral in parentheses.

2. Classical system – the suffixes –ous and -ic are used to denote the lower and higher
oxidation states.
- Latin/Greek names

Cu+1 O2- Cu2O Copper (I) oxide


Cuprous oxide
Exercises:
1. Fe2+ and Cl- 4. Pb2+ and I-
2. Sn4+ and F- 5. Hg2+ and Br-
3. Cu2+ and O2-

B. Binary compounds containing two nonmetals


Prefixes are used
CO – carbon monoxide
CO2 – carbon dioxide

Exercises:
1. Name the following compounds
a. NO d. P2O5
b. SO2 e. PCl5
c. CCl4
2. Write the chemical formulas of the following:
1. Nitrogen dioxide 4. Sulfur trioxide
2. Dinitrogen trioxide 5. Diphosphorus pentoxide
3. Carbon disulfide
Metals with Polyatomic Ions
 Polyatomic ion is a stable group of atoms that carries an overall electrical charge.
 Parentheses are placed around the polyatomic ion and subscript is written just after the
close parenthesis whenever a multiple polyatomic ion is necessary.

Mg2+ OH- Mg(OH)2

 Parentheses are not used when single polyatomic ion is present.


KClO3 CaCO3 NaHCO3

Exercises:
A. Write the correct formula for each of the following.
1. Strontium bicarbonate 4. Magnesium phosphate
2. Ammonium nitrate 5. Copper (III) carbonate
3. Iron (III) sulfate

B. Give the name of the following:

1. K2CrO4 4. FeSO4
2. Zn(NO3)2 5. Sn(OH)4
3. CuClO3

Acids
1. Binary
- Hydrogen and a Nonmetal
o The word hydrogen comes first; then the second word is made by affixing the
suffix –ide to the root word of the nonmetal.

HCl hydrogen chloride

o When these substances are dissolved in water, they become aqueous acids. The
prefix hydro is attached to the root word of the nonmetal and the suffix –ic is added. The
word acid becomes the last term.
H2S (aq) hydrosulfuric acid
HCl (aq) hydrochloric acid

2. Tertiary/ ternary/ oxyacids


o -ite – ous acid phosphorous acid (H3PO3)
o -ate – ic acid Sulfuric acid (H2SO4)
Bases –(OH)

Fe(OH)2 - ferrous hydroxide


Mn(OH)3 – manganic hydroxide
Sn(OH)2 – Tin (II) hydroxide
