  2. Naming Ionic Compounds • Put the positive ion (cation) on the left and the negative ion (anion) on the right: • For example: LiCl • Name the compound from left to right, using the full name of the thing on the left and a modified name of the thing on the right. If the anion (or more electronegative element) is all by itself, then its name ends with “-ide.” • For example: Lithium Chloride • If the anion is a compound ion (like sulfate or perchlorate) then just name it. • For example: Li2SO4 is “Lithium Sulfate” • If the cation has a only a single oxidation state (like silver, which only occurs as Ag+, or the first and second column metals, which are always +1 or +2 ions), then you are finished. • If the cation has several possible oxidation states (like iron, which can be +2 or +3), then indicate the CHARGE on it with a Roman numeral. • For example: FeCO3 is “Iron (II) carbonate”, but Fe2(CO3)3 is “Iron (III) carbonate” NEXT: Naming Molecular Compounds

  3. Naming Molecular Compounds • Put the least electronegative atom (“more cation-like”) on the left: • For example: PBr3 or CO or N2O4 • Name the compound from left to right, using the full name of the thing on the left and a modified name of the thing on the right. If the more electronegative element is all by itself, then its name ends with “-ide.” • Indicate how many of each atom there are with Greek prefixes. • For example: Phosphorous Tribromide, or Carbon Monoxide, or Dinitrogen Tetroxide • EXCEPTION: No need to use “mon-” or “mono-“ when there is only one atom on the left.

  5. Inorganic Acids 1. First, name them as covalent inorganic compounds. Then, find their acid name: 2. Determine the ending of the anion.  a.) If the anion ends in –ide, the acid is named hydro root -ic acid. • HCl (g) is Hydrogen chloride (“chlor” is the root of the name) • HCl (aq) is hydrochloric acid b.) If the anion ends in –ate, drop –ate and add –ic acid to the name. • CO32- is carbonate; H2CO3(aq) is carbonic acid c.) If the anion ends in –ite, drop the –ite and add –ous acid • ClO2- is chlorite; HClO2(aq) is chlorous acid Return to Menu
