5. C. Ionic Nomenclature Ionic Formulas
Write each ion, cation first. Don’t show charges in the final formula.
Overall charge must equal zero.
If charges cancel, just write symbols.
If not, use subscripts to balance charges.
Use parentheses to show more than one polyatomic ion.
Stock System - Roman numerals indicate the ion’s (metal) charge.

6. C. Ionic Nomenclature Ionic Names
Write the names of both ions, cation first.
Change ending of monatomic ions to -ide.
Polyatomic ions have special names.
Stock System - Use Roman numerals to show the ion’s charge if more than one is possible. Overall charge must equal zero.

7. C. Ionic Nomenclature Consider the following:
Does it contain a polyatomic ion?
-ide, 2 elements  no
-ate, -ite, 3+ elements  yes
Does it contain a Roman numeral?
Check the table for metals not in Groups 1 or 2.
No prefixes!

Common Ion Charges 1+ 2+ 3+ NA 3- 2- 1-

9. C. Ionic Nomenclature potassium chloride magnesium nitrate
copper(II) chloride
K+ Cl-
 KCl
Mg2+ NO3-
 Mg(NO3)2
Cu2+ Cl-
 CuCl2

10. C. Ionic Nomenclature NaBr Na2CO3 sodium bromide FeCl3
sodium carbonate
iron(III) chloride

11. A. Acids Nomenclature Acids Examples: Compounds that form H+ in water.
Formulas usually begin with ‘H’.
Examples:
HCl – hydrochloric acid
HNO3 – nitric acid
H2SO4 – sulfuric acid
