    Ionic and Molecular Nomenclature –STUDY GUIDE

    Ms. Johnson
    Academic/Research Chemistry

    Solutions for the example problems are at the end of the study guide in RED

    This is the second of two major summative assessments for unit 3. You do not need to draw structures for this assessment,
    you will need to name molecular and ionic compounds.

    Vocabulary:

    molecular compound transition metal roman numeral ion

    covalent bond polyatomic ion suffix cation

    molecule ionic compound prefix anion

    variable charge ionic bond subscript neutral

    You need to MEMORIZE the following things:

     All 9 polyatomic ions (quizlet link here)

    Common Polyatomic Ions


    Cation 1+ Anion 1- 2- 3-
    Ammonium NH41+ Hydroxide OH1- Carbonate CO32- Phosphate PO43-
    Cyanide CN1- Sulfate SO42-
    1-
    Nitrate NO3
    Bicarbonate HCO31-
    Acetate C2H3O21-

     The ten Greek prefixes

    mono- 1 tetra- 4 hepta- 7 deca- 10

    di- 2 penta- 5 octa- 8

    tri- 3 hexa- 6 nona- 9

     Oxidation states (WRITE THIS ON YOUR PERIODIC TABLE ON THE TEST)


    Part I: Ionic compound nomenclature

    On the test, the free-response section will be divided into two sections. One section will test your ability to name ionic compounds and
    the other section will test your ability to name molecular compounds.

    You will need to know how to name ionic compounds. Remember that an ionic bond is formed by the attraction of oppositely charged
    ions. Stated generally, an ionic bond is formed between metal and nonmetal atoms.

    Cation/anion: When deriving the ions for the ionic compound, you will need to provide the charge and coefficients for
    both the anion and cation:

    (A) 2 Na1+ + 1 O2- (B) 3 Fe2+ + 2 PO43-

    Neutral compound: When creating the neutral compound, the charges in the first step were eliminated. You will write the
    symbols for the elements for the cation and anion together (eliminating the charges). The coefficients (green) become the subscripts

    (A) Na2O1 (B) Fe3(PO4)2

    Name: When writing the name of the ionic compound, you will need to determine if the cation has a variable
    charge and if the anion is polyatomic or not.
     If there is no variable charge, write the name of the cation.
     If there is a variable charge, state it in roman numerals after the name of the cation

     If the anion is not a polyatomic ion, write the name of anion and change the ending to “-ide”
     If the anion is a polyatomic ion, write the name of the polyatomic ion

    (A) sodium oxygenide (B) iron (II) phosphate


    (sodium oxide)

    Example 1: ionic compound nomenclature

    Supply the missing information in each problem. Each problem consists of three parts: 1st the name; 2nd cation/anion and the
    number needed to create a neutral compound; 3nd the formulas of the neutral compound.

    name cation/anion neutral compound

    (A) Mg2+ + N3- 

    (B) lead (II) hydroxide + 

    (C) +  Fe(PO4)2

    Part II: Molecular compound nomenclature

    You will need to state the names and write the molecular formulas for several molecular compounds. When naming a molecular
    compound, you will use prefixes to state how many of each atom there are within the molecule.

    Example 2: Fill-in the blanks with the best response.

    (A) Write the formula of dinitrogen tetroxide.

    (B) What is the name of SO2?

    (C) Write the formula of triphosphorous pentanitride.

    (D) What is the name of IF7.
