Experiment 1
Purpose of Experiment
• Introduce the IUPAC nomenclature system
• Apply the IUPAC nomenclature system by naming chemical
compounds
• Interpret chemical composition from IUPAC chemical names
NOMENCLATURE OF BINARY COMPOUNDS - 3

Flow Chart
HNO2
nitrous acid
HCl
Hydrochloric acid
CO
carbon monoxide
FeCl2
NaCl
5. Use a few examples to demonstrateiron(II)
how the chloride
flow chart works for naming
compounds.
sodium
chloride
You could even ask students to walk through the process for the class in order to keep
the students involved. Some examples you could use are:
Important Considerations
• Use your document pack worksheet to write out your answers, then input
answers on Canvas assignment
• Work together with your partner/group, but each individual should submit
answers
• Each individual will get 2 attempts
o After the first attempt, any incorrect answers will be marked, mark these on
your hard copy worksheet, and make corrections
o When submitting for the second attempt, you only have to submit answers
to those marked incorrect
• The individual portion must be completed individually, 2 attempts (same as
group portion) – get assignment from instructor, complete on worksheet, turn in
to instructor for grading
• Inputting answers on Canvas
o All names must be spelled correctly, one space between first and second
word, no capitalization
o Formulas should have appropriate chemical symbols with correct
capitalization, input number without subscript (but note that when typically
writing or typing formulas subscript numbers should be included to be
correct!)
