Type III two nonmetals but no polyatomic ions Name the elements as you see them in the formula The last element has –ide for an ending Each element has a prefix referring to the number of ATOMS (not electrons) 1 = mono6 = hexa 2 = di7 = hepta 3 = tri8 = octa 4 = tetra9 = nona 5 = penta10 = deca O N Y OUR P ERIODIC T ABLE
Type III If the first element is mono, drop it from the name (all other monos are kept) Monocarbon monoxide Carbon monoxide When “ao” or “oo” are created when combining a prefix with element name, drop the first vowel Monooxide Monoxide Decaoxide Decoxide Trioxide Trioxide
Examples CCl 4 Carbon tetrachloride P2O3P2O3 Diphosporus trioxide IF 7 Iodine heptafluoride
Now try going from the name to the chemical formula Dinitrogen trioxide N2O3N2O3 Dichlorine octoxide Cl 2 O 8 Carbon tetrabromide CBr 4 Dihydrogen monoxide H2OH2O
Acid A compound that produces hydrogen ions (H + ) when dissolved in water An ionic compound Cation = H + Anion = monatomic or polyatomic ions Only ionic compounds with two nonmetals
Naming Acids Monatomic (single atoms) anions Acid name begins with hydro- Add –ic to the name of the element Add acid to the end HCl Hydrochloric acid H 2 S Hydrosulfuric acid
Naming Acids Polyatomic anions If it ends in –ite Change end to –ous Add acid to the end H 2 SO 3 Sulfurous acid If it ends in –ate Change end to –ic Add acid to the end HNO 3 Nitric acid
Examples HF Hydrofluoric acid H 2 SO 4 Sulfuric acid HClO 2 Chlorous acid
Now try going from the name to the chemical formula Phosphorous acid H 3 PO 3 Hydrobromic acid HBr Chloric acid HClO 3
