Rules for
Naming
Binary
Compounds
1. Binary Ionic Compounds
Metal with a nonmetal Ex._____________________________
2. Binary Covalent Compounds
Nonmetal with a nonmetal Ex.__________________________
1. The cation is always named first and the anion second.
2. The cation takes its name from the name of the element.
3. The anion is named by taking the first part of the element name (the
root) and adding –ide.
1. KCl
2. MgBr2
3. CaO
Learning
Check
4. What is the name of the compound SrBr2 ?
• Write names of elements from symbols
• Change ending of second element to –ide
*Ignore the subscripts for Ionic
Naming
Binary Ionic
Compounds
• Write names of elements from symbols
• Change ending of second element to -ide
• Add Greek prefixes from subscripts
• Don’t write “mono” on the first element.
• Drop the o/a when attaching to oxygen.
