– Formula Units – simplest whole # ratios of ions
present in a compound (for ionic compounds)
– Molecular Formulas- used for covalently bonded
compounds.
• (show EVERY atom present in a molecule)
• Ex. H2O
Water has 2 hydrogen atoms and 1 oxygen atom
Step 1:
Writing Balanced Chemical Formulas

Polyatomic Ions
There are some ions that are made up of more
than one type of atom, these are called
Polyatomic ions – groups of covalently bonded
atoms with a charge
For example, the polyatomic ion known as
ammonium NH4+ has 4 atoms of hydrogen and one
atom of nitrogen, HOWEVER, the whole “group”
has an overall charge of +1
** you need to memorize the formulas & the
charges of many polyatomic ions!

Naming Ternary Ionic Compounds
 contain at least 3 elements & the 1st is a
metal:
 there MUST be at least one polyatomic ion
(it helps to circle the ions)
 Examples:
NaNO3
Sodium nitrate
K2SO4
Potassium sulfate
Al(HCO3)3
Aluminum bicarbonate
or
Aluminum hydrogen carbonate
What About. . .
What if I have to put multiple polyatomic ions in
a compound, for example, magnesium nitrate?
Magnesium has a charge of +2
Nitrate is polyatomic ion and has a charge of -1
Therefore, we need 2 nitrate ions for each
magnesium
In this case, we put the entire polyatomic ion in
parenthesis and put the subscript outside the
parenthesis
Our answer would be Mg(NO3)2

the central atom.

Naming Compounds
What's in a name? That which we call a rose
by any other name would smell as sweet."
- William Shakespeare, Romeo and Juliet (II, ii)
Naming Compounds
Binary Ionic Compounds (metal & nonmetal):
• 1. Cation first, then anion
• 2. Monatomic cation = name of the
element
• Ca2+ = calcium ion
• 3. Monatomic anion = root + -ide
• Cl- = chloride
• CaCl2 = calcium chloride

Practice Naming Ionic Compounds
• Na2CO3 --
• CaSO4 -• KBr -• MgS -• BeCl2 --
• NH4F --
Multiple Oxidation Numbers
• When the metal in an ionic compound is
multi-valent (has more than 1 charge) there
are 2 naming methods:
– Latin & Stock Systems
• Latin is older (not useful for some
compounds)
• The metal is named with it’s Latin or English
root and ends in -ic or –ous to denote
charge.
• E.g. Cu+1 is cuprous, E.g. Cu+2 is cupric
• Lower = ous, Higher = ic
Write the balanced formula for
copper chloride & name it:
Cu+2 + Cl-1 = CuCl2
= cupric chloride
Cu+1 + Cl-1 = CuCl
= cuprous chloride
For Latin naming: know rules, possible
charges, Latin names, & suffixes
Examples of Older Names of Cations formed from
Transition Metals
Multiple valence: Stock System
• The oxidation number (charge) of the metal
is indicated in parentheses using Roman
numerals
• E.g. Cu1+ is copper(I), Cu2+ is copper(II)
• Numbers refer to charges not to #s of
atoms
• Try: Cu2++Cl-1 & Cu1++Cl-1,
• Cu+2++Cl-1 = CuCl2 = copper (II) chloride
Co+1 + Cl-1 = CuCl = copper (I) chloride
Formula to Name:
How do I figure out the Roman Numeral??
Hint: We’ve already learned this!
• 1) Assign the element with the unknown
charge a charge of x
• 2) Multiply the charge of each element by
the number of atoms of that element to
get the total charge.
• 3) Add the products from step 2 and set
them equal to zero because compounds are
neutral- zero charge
• 4) Solve for the unknown charge.
Binary Compounds
Containing a Metal of Variable Oxidation Number
To name these compounds, give the name of the metal (Type II
cations) followed by Roman numerals in parentheses to indicate
the oxidation number of the metal, followed by the name of the
nonmetal, with its ending replaced by the suffix –ide.

Ternary Ionic Nomenclature
Writing Formulas
• Write each ion, cation first. Don’t show
charges in the final formula.
• Overall charge must equal zero.
– If charges cancel, just write symbols.
– If not, use subscripts to balance charges.
• Use parentheses to show more than one
of a particular polyatomic ion.
• Use Roman numerals indicate the ion’s
charge when needed (Stock System)
How do I figure out the Roman
Numeral?
Solving for the roman numeral
(charge) of Fe2O3
• (2x) + (3)(-2) = 0
– # of Fe atoms times charge of Fe + number of
O atoms times charge of O = zero because
compounds are neutral, no charge

Acid Nomenclature
• Acids
– Compounds that form H+ in water.
– Formulas usually begin with ‘H’.
– In order to be considered an acid, they
must be aqueous (dissolved in water –
formulas end in aq)
• Examples:
– HCl
(aq)
– hydrochloric acid
– HNO3 (aq) – nitric acid
– H2SO4 (aq) – sulfuric acid
We will look at
binary &
ternary acids!
Naming Binary Acids
• H + 1 other element HX(aq)
• If the anion attached to hydrogen
ends in -ide, add the prefix hydroand change -ide to -ic acid
• HCl - hydrogen chloride becomes
• hydrochloric acid
• H2S - hydrogen sulfide becomes
• hydrosulfuric acid
Naming Ternary Acids
• H + a polyatomic ion – HXO(aq)
• change the suffix -ate to -ic acid
• HNO3(aq) not hydrogen nitrate, but
– nitric acid
• change the suffix -ite to -ous acid
• HNO2(aq) not hydrogen nitrite, but
– nitrous acid
• Ternary Acid names DO NOT begin
with “hydro-”!
