Naming Ionic Compounds #1 Name____________________ Period_________ When naming ionic compounds remember the following rules of the Stock Naming System: Binary Ionic Compounds (two ions) 1. The cation (positively charged ion; Na+, Al3+) is always named first and the anion (negatively charged ion; Cl-, O2-) second. 2. A monatomic (meaning one-atom) cation takes its name from the name of the element. For example, Na+ is called sodium in the names of compounds containing this ion. 3. A monatomic anion is named by taking the root of the element name and adding ide. Thus, the Cl- ion is called chloride, the S2- ion is called sulfide, and the O2- ion is called oxide. Ternary Ionic Compounds (more than two ions) 1. The cation of a transition metal is always named first (like any cation) and the anion second. 2. A monatomic (meaning one-atom) cation takes its name from the name of the element. For example, Cu+ is called Copper(I) and Cu2+ is called Copper(II) in the names of compounds containing these ions. The number in parentheses is the charge of the cation. 3. All transition metal cations, except Zn2+, Cd2+, and Ag+ (which always have the charges shown on your handout), must show the oxidation number (charge) in parentheses following the English spelling of the element, such as Iron(III), Copper(I), or Vanadium(V), whenever a compound containing these ions, which have multiple charges, is named. 4. Cations in Groups IIIA-VIA (including, Sn, Pb, Ga, Bi, etc.) also have multiple charges, even though they are not transition metals. For all the metals in these groups (except Al, which, of course, always has a +3 charge), include a parenthesis after the name, and show its positive charge as a Roman numeral (Pb2+ is Lead(II) in names) 1 PART I: Name the following ionic compounds using the Stock Naming System. 1.

These compounds are always neutral (not ions which have charges), and consist of only two elements (for more than two non-metal elements we will be naming them as acids later in this unit). The prototypical compound is CO2, which is called carbon dioxide. 1. The first element shown in the compound is named as the element (e.g., for CO2, first element is "carbon") 2. The second element shown in the compound is named according to the anion name, ending in -ide (e.g., for CO2, the second element is named "oxide") 3. The second element always carries a prefix indicating the number of times it is present in the compound (e.g., for CO2, the second element (oxide) is present twice, so it has the "di" prefix) 4. The amount of the first element is only shown, if it is present more than once. It is assumed to be present only once, hence just the name of the element. However, if it is present more than once, you must then specify the number of times it is duplicated (di, tri, tetra, etc.) The following prefixes are used to specify the number of times an element is present in binary covalent compounds: Prefixes (1-5) 1 — mono 2 — di 3 — tri 4 — tetra 5 — penta Prefixes (6-10) Examples using prefixes 6 — hexa 7 — hepta 8 — octa 9 — nona 10 — deca 7 CCl4 — carbon tetrachloride P2O5 — diphosphorus pentoxide N2O — dinitrogen monoxide ICl3 — iodine trichloride Name the following molecules. 1.

CSe2 9 ________ Chem I – Nomenclature Practice #4 (Compounds & Molecules) Name____________________ Period_________ When writing the names and formulas, determine whether it is an ionic compound or molecule. Ionic Compounds: Contain a metal bonded to a nonmetal or polyatomic ion. Name the metal first then the non-metal (-ide ending). If it has a transition metal with more than one oxidation #, don’t forget the roman numerals in parenthesis stating the oxidation #. Molecules: Contain nonmetals only. Use prefixes. Remember that the first element will only contain a prefix if it has more than one atom. The second element will be named as “prefix – root word – ide ending”. Write the name for each. Write the formula for each. 1. CuSO4 1. Magnesium oxide 2. SiBr4 2. Lead (II) nitrate 3. Cu2SO4 3. Sulfur trioxide 4. CaF 5. CCl4 4. Aluminum bicarbonate 6. Fe2O3 5. Carbon tetrabromide 7. SnCl2 6.

Strontium carbonate ________ 11 Naming & Writing Formulas – Acids #5 (Binary & Ternary) Acids are molecular compounds molecules that contain hydrogen bonded to a nonmetal or to a group of polyatomic ions. Acids can be either binary (consisting of only two elements) or ternary Sulfurous acid (a ternary acid) (consisting of more than two elements…usually polyatomic ions). Even though acids are molecules that are covalently bonded, they have properties of ionic compounds. Therefore the rules for naming and writing ionic compounds apply. NAMING BINARY ACIDS: Hydro ______ ic acid. Example: HCl = hydrochloric acid NAMING TERNARY ACIDS: 1. Identify the polyatomic ion in the formula 2. Look for the ending and change: “ate” changes to “ic” “ite” changes to “ous” Example: HPO4 = phosphoric acid (PO4 is phosphate therefore changed to “ic”) 3. Look for polyatomic ions that contain four oxygen possibilities (ClO3-1 and IO3-1) Per_____ic greatest # of oxygen atoms (ClO4-1) _____ic greater # of oxygen atoms (ClO3-1) _____ous smaller # of oxygen atoms (ClO2-1) Hypo_____ous smallest # of oxygen atoms (ClO-1) Example: HClO = hypochlorous acid WRITING BINARY ACID FORMULAS: 1. Write H+1 2. Write the second element’s symbol & oxidation number. 3. Criss Cross the charges to create a neutral formula. Example: Hydrochloric acid = H+ Cl- = HCl 12 WRITING TERNARY ACID FORMULAS: 1. Write H+1 2. Identify the polyatomic ion. 3. Change the endings by: “ic” changes to “ate” “ous” changes to “ite” 4. Write the polyatomic ions & oxidation number. 5. Criss Cross the charges to create a neutral formula. Example: sulfuric acid = H+ SO4-2 = H2S04 6. Look for prefixes such as “per” and “hypo”. They indicate the actual number of oxygen atoms in the compound. Example: perchloric acid = H+ ClO4-1 = HCl04 Name the following acids: 40. HNO3 41. HCl 42. H2SO4 43. H2SO3 44. HC2H3O2 45. HBr 46.
