LEARNING COMPETENCY:
NAMING COMPOUNDS
- located towards
the middle of the
periodic table
specifically from
groups 3-12
- many of the
transition metals
can have more than
one charge.
BINARY IONIC COMPOUNDS
EXAMPLE: Notice – metal (transition metal) and nonmetal.
Name the first ion. Use a Roman Numeral to represent the charge.
How do you know the charge? All compounds are neutral.
BINARY IONIC COMPOUNDS
EXAMPLE: Notice – metal (transition metal) and nonmetal.
Name the first ion. Use a Roman Numeral to represent the charge.
How do you know the charge? All compounds are neutral.
BINARY IONIC COMPOUNDS
There are three transition
elements which do not require a Ag2O
Roman Numeral because they Silver oxide
have single definite charges.
These are:
ZnCl2
Zinc – Zn+2
Zinc chloride
Cadmium – Cd+2
Silver – Ag+1
BINARY IONIC COMPOUNDS
WRITING FORMULA
1.Write the symbol and charge of each ion.
2.Balance the charges by providing subscripts.
EXAMPLE:
Magnesium chloride MgCl2
BINARY IONIC COMPOUNDS
WRITING FORMULA
1.Write the symbol and charge of each ion.
2.Balance the charges by providing subscripts.
EXAMPLE:
Iron (III) bromide
BINARY IONIC COMPOUNDS
WRITING FORMULA
1.Write the symbol and charge of each ion.
2.Balance the charges by providing subscripts.
EXAMPLE:
Aluminum Sulfide
Al2S3
Al +3 S-2
LCM
TERNARY IONIC COMPOUNDS
- Composed of two ions in which at least one is
polyatomic ion.
POLYATOMIC ION
It is polyatomic – that means it is made of more than one
atom.
Group of atoms that act as a unit and carry a charge.
POLYATOMIC ION
TERNARY IONIC COMPOUNDS
NAMING COMPOUNDS
1. Name the first ion.
2. Name the second ion.
EXAMPLES:
Na2CO3 NH4Cl
Aluminum nitrate
Al+3 NO3-1
TERNARY IONIC COMPOUNDS
WRITING FORMULA
EXAMPLES:
Calcium phosphate
Ca +2 PO4-3
LCM
BINARY MOLECULAR COMPOUNDS
NAMING COMPOUNDS
1.The first nonmetal only gets a numeric prefix when there is
more than one. No prefix if there is only one.
2.The second element always gets a numeric prefix and always
has a suffix of -ide
BINARY MOLECULAR COMPOUNDS
Numerical
Prefixes
BINARY MOLECULAR COMPOUNDS
NAMING COMPOUND
EXAMPLES:
H 2S Hydrosulfuric acid
BINARY ACIDS
WRITING FORMULA
1. The name will tell that it is definitely a binary acid. Write
the symbol for hydrogen and the nonmetal element.
2. Balance the charges by supplying subscripts.
EXAMPLE:
Hydrophosphoric acid
H3P
H +1 P-3
TERNARY ACIDS
- begin with hydrogen since they are “acids”
- attached to the hydrogen is a polyatomic ion
- Hydrogen – polyatomic ion
NAMING COMPOUND
1. First Category: If the polyatomic ion has a
suffix of –ate or –ide
2. Second Category: If the polyatomic ion has
a suffix of –ite
TERNARY ACIDS
NAMING COMPOUND
First Category: If the polyatomic ion has a suffix of –ate or –ide, use:
suffix
Phosphoric acid
H3PO4
H+1 phosphate (-ate suffix)
−3
PO4
TERNARY ACIDS
WRITING FORMULA
EXAMPLES:
Acetic acid HC2H3O2
H+1 acetate (-ate suffix)
