RULES in NAMING IONIC and COVALENT COMPOUNDS
❑ Metals with Fixed Oxidation Number
- Name of metal + stem name of nonmetal + -ide
Group I to Group III of Family A
❑ Metal with Variable Oxidation Number
A.Stock Method - name of metal (charge in Roman Numeral) + stem name of nonmetal + -ide
B.Classical Method - suffix - ous - with low oxidation number
- suffix - ic - with high oxidation number
❑ Nonmetal + nonmetal
- prefix (except mono) + name of electropositive nonmetal + prefix + name of electronegative
nonmetal
❑ Binary Acids
- Hydro + stem name of nonmetal + -ic + acid
HX + H2O HX (aq)
F, Br, I, Cl, S CN
Metals with Fixed Oxidation Number
- Name of metal + stem name of nonmetal + -ide
Examples:
Al+3 + O-2 → Al2O3 - Aluminum Oxide
Na+1 + N-3 → Na3N - Sodium Nitride
Mg+2 + S-2 → MgS - Magnesium Sulfide
Metal with Variable Oxidation Number
A.Stock Method - name of metal (charge in Roman Numeral) +
stem name of nonmetal + -ide
B.Classical Method - suffix - ous - with low oxidation number
- suffix - ic - with high oxidation number
Examples:
Cu+1 + O-2 → Stock Name: Copper (I) Oxide
Classical Name: Cuprous Oxide
Cu+2 + O-2 → Stock Name: Copper (II) Oxide
Classical Name: Cupric Oxide
Nonmetal + nonmetal
- prefix (except mono) + name of electropositive
nonmetal + prefix + name of electronegative nonmetal
Prefixes:
1 – mono 6 – hexa
2 – di 7 – hepta
3 – tri 8 – octa
4 – tetra 9 – nona
5 – penta 10 – deca
Examples:
CO – Carbon monoxide
CO2 – Carbon dioxide
P2N5 – Diphosphorus pentanitride
S6Cl10 – Hexasulfur Decachloride
Binary Acids
- Hydro + stem name of nonmetal + -ic + acid
HX + H2O HX (aq)
F, Br, I, Cl, S CN
Examples:
H+1 + Cl-1 → HCl – Hydrochloric acid
H+1 + S-2 → H2S – Hydrosulfuric acid
H+1 + P-3 → H3P – Hydrophosphoric acid
RULES in TERNARY COMPOUNDS
❑ Ternary acids of salts
+7 +8 name of cation + per + central atom + -ate
