Naming Compounds
Binary Compounds are composed of two types of
elements such as H2O or KBr, not necessarily just
two atoms. Diatomic molecules consist of two
atoms of the same type such as H2 and O2.
1. Binary Ionic Compounds
Metal—nonmetal such as NaCl and CaCl2.
2. Binary Covalent Compounds
Nonmetal—nonmetal such as H2O and CO2

Naming Compounds
•
Binary ionic compounds
contain positive cations
and negative anions.
 Type I compounds
•

Metal present forms
only one cation.
Type II compounds
•
Metal present can
form 2 or more
cations with
different charges.

Naming Compounds
Rules for Naming Type I Ionic Compounds
1. The cation is always named first and the anion
second.
2. A simple cation takes its name from the name
of the element.
3. A simple anion is named by taking the first part
of the element name (the root) and adding –ide.

Naming Compounds
Binary Ionic Compounds (Type II) with Transition Metals
•
•
•
•
Metals in these
compounds can form
more than one type of
positive charge.
Charge on the metal ion
must be specified.
Roman numeral
indicates the charge of
the metal cation.
Transition metal cations
usually require a Roman
numeral.

Naming Compounds
Rules for Naming Type II Ionic Compounds
1. The cation is always named first and the anion
second.
2. Because the cation can assume more than one
charge, the charge is specified by a Roman
numeral in parentheses.

Naming Compounds
Rules for Naming Type III Binary Compounds
• Formed between two nonmetals.
1. The first element in the formula is named
first, and the full element name is used.
2. The second element is named as though
it were an anion.
3. Prefixes are used to denote the numbers
of atoms present.
4. The prefix mono- is never used for
naming the first element.

If the anion does not contain oxygen, the
acid is named with the prefix hydro– and the
suffix –ic attached to the root name for the
element.
