NAMING CHEMICAL COMPOUNDS
Chemical Symbol:
Every element is represented by a 1 or 2 letter abbreviation called symbol.
That abbreviation is derived from an English or Latin name.
Some important elements with symbols are:
3
For example:
PO43-
CH3COO

Rules for Naming Compounds:
Ionic Compounds
1. Metals are named first.
Covalent Compounds

FORMULAE OF COVALENT COMPOUNDS
Molecular Formula
A molecular formula is a chemical formula of a molecular compound that shows the kinds and
actual numbers of atoms present in a molecule of the compound.
For example
Si2O4
Empirical Formula
A molecular formula is a chemical formula of a molecular compound that shows the kinds and
simplified numbers of atoms present in a molecule of the compound.
SiO2

1. Metals exist as giant structures and are represented by a single atom. E.g Cu, Na, Mg, K, C, Si,
Ge.
2. Non-metals exist as simple molecules and are represented by the actual number of total
atoms involved in a molecule. E.g O2, F2, Cl2, H2.
Exception: P4 and S8 are represented by P and S respectively simply because of more than 3
atoms involved.
3. Metalloids and Carbon exist as covalent lattice (giant structure) and are represented by a
single atom. E.g B, Si, Ge, C.
4. Noble gases exist independently so they are also written as single atoms. E.g Ne, Ar.

2. We write aq (aqueous) for compounds that are soluble in water soluble in water. Solid (s) is
written for insoluble compounds.
