Naming Starts with Classifying Compounds

Binary Compounds = only 2 elements

• Compounds containing polyatomic ions

Acids = formula often starts with H

Classifying Binary Compounds

Compounds containing a metal and a nonmetal are binary ionic

– Type I: The metal forms only one type of ions

Type II: The metal can form two (or more) cations that have different charges

Compounds containing two nonmetals

Type III

• Compounds containing H and a nonmetal = Acids

I. Binary Ionic

Made of metal cation and nonmetal anion

Name by naming the ions

Metal Cations

Type I

Metals that can only have one possible charge

– Determine charge by position on the Periodic

Table

Type II

Metals that can have more than one possible charge

– Determine metal cation’s charge from the charge on anion

Rules for Naming Type I Binary

Ionic Compounds

NaCl

Contain Metal Cation + Nonmetal Anion

Metal listed first in formula & name

Name metal cation first, name nonmetal anion second

Simple metal cation name is the metal name

– simple metals are Groups 1A, 2A and Al, Ga & In

Nonmetal anion named by changing the ending on the nonmetal name to ide

10

Rules for Naming Type II Binary

Ionic Compounds

Contain Metal Cation + Nonmetal Anion

Metal listed first in formula & name

¶ Name metal cation first, name nonmetal anion second

Metal cation name is the metal name followed by a

Roman Numeral in parentheses to indicate its charge

Determine charge from anion charge

Common Type II cations in Table 5.2

Nonmetal anion named by changing the ending on the nonmetal name to ide

Determining the Charge on a Cation – FeCl

2

Determine the charge on the anion the anion is Cl, since it is in Group 7A, its charge is -1

Determine the total negative charge since there are 2 Cl atoms in the formula, the total negative charge is -2

Determine the total positive charge since the total negative charge is -2, the total positive charge is +2

Divide by the number of cations since there is 1 Fe in the formula & the total positive charge is +2, Fe has a +2 charge

Rules for Naming Type III - Binary Compounds of 2 Nonmetals

Name first element in formula first, use the full name of the element

Name the second element in the formula as if it were an anion

However, remember these compounds do not contain ions !

Use a prefix in front of each name to indicate the number of atoms

Never use the prefix monoon the first element

II. Compounds Containing

Polyatomic Ions

Polyatomic ions are charged entities that contain more than one atom

Must memorize name, formula and charge

– Look for Patterns!!

Polyatomic compounds contain one or more polyatomic ions

Name polyatomic compounds by naming cation and anion

– Non-polyatomic ions named like Type I and II

Polyatomic Acids contain H + and a polyatomic anion

16

Patterns for Polyatomic Ions

Elements in the same column on the Periodic

Table form similar polyatomic ions

– same number of O’s and same charge

ClO

3

= chlorate

BrO

3

= bromate

If the polyatomic ion starts with H, add hydrogen - before the ions name and add 1 to the charge

CO

3

2= carbonate

HCO

3

= hydrogen carbonate

17

Patterns for Polyatomic Ions

-ate ion

– chlorate = ClO

3

-

• -ate ion plus 1 O

 same charge, perprefix

– perchlorate = ClO

4

-

• -ate ion minus 1 O

 same charge, ite suffix

– chlorite = ClO

2

-

• -ate ion minus 2 O

 same charge, hypoprefix, ite suffix

– hypochlorite = ClO -

III. Acids

Contain H + cation and anion

Binary acids have H + cation and a nonmetal anion

Oxyacids have H + cation and a polyatomic anion

Writing the Formulas from the Names

For Type III compounds, use the prefixes to determine the subscripts

For Type I, Type II, polyatomic

Compounds and Acids

– Determine the ions present

Determine the charges on the cation and anion

Balance the charges to get the subscripts
