1. Binary & Tertiary Ionic Compounds Nomenclature
SC1d. Use IUPAC nomenclature for both chemical
names and formulas:
Ionic Compounds
Covalent Compounds
Acidic Compounds

2. Naming Binary Ionic Compounds
Rule 1) Write the charge of the cation and anion. Rule 2) Name the cation first. Based on the charge, include any Roman Numeral designation if necessary. Rule 3) Name the root of the anion second followed by the –ide ending.

3. Binary Ionic Compounds
Example 1) Na1+Cl1- Example 2) Cu1+O2-

4. Naming Tertiary Ionic Compounds
Rule 1) Write the charge of the cation and
anion.
Rule 2) Name the cation first. Based on the
charge, include any Roman Numeral
designation if necessary.
Rule 3a) Monatomic: Name the root of the
anion second followed by the –ide
ending.
Rule 3b) Polyatomic: Name the polyatomic ion

5. Tertiary Ionic Compounds
Example 1) Ca2+(CO3)2- Example 2) (NH4)31+(PO4)3- Example 3) (NH4)1+Cl1-
