    This document provides guidelines for naming different types of chemical compounds: 1. Ionic compounds are named by writing the cation first followed by the anion using standard prefixes and suffixes. 2. Covalent compounds with two elements are named by writing both elements, while those with more than two elements sometimes include oxygen and the number of oxygen atoms follows patterns based on the periodic table group. 3. Acids are named with the prefix for the negative ion followed by "ic acid".

    NAMING COMPOUNDS!

    Prefixes:
    H+1 is at the beginning, Metal + Non-Metal 2 Non-Metals
    Acting like the metal! 1-mono
    2-di
    3-tri
    4-tetra
    5-penta
    6-hexa
    7-hepta
    ACID IONIC COVALENT 8-octa
    9-nona
    10-deca

    1. Name the negative ion bonded to H 1. prefix – element – prefix – element - ide
    2. Change the ending:
    ate to ic
    ite to ous
    ide to hydro-ic
    - per means one more oxygen
    1. Name both ions!
    than normal
    -ite means 1 less oxygens than
    2 elements, with more than 2 elements,
    normal
    no oxygen sometimes with oxygen
    hypo-ite means 2 less oxygens
    than normal
    ends in –ide how many oxygens?
    thio means one less oxygen, one
    example: NaCl If element that is with oxygen
    more sulfur
    sodium chloride is in 4 on periodic table, there
    bi means a H+ has been added,
    are 4 oxygens, and the name is
    which reduces the charge by 1
    -ide MEANS -ate – otherwise, there are 3
    NO OXYGEN oxygens and the name is -ate
    FOR IONIC COMPOUNDS
    ie) Na2(SO4) is called sodium sulfate
