1. Do First Actions: Get yesterday’s worksheet stamped
Determine the i of the below formulas:
NaOH
C2H4
Mg 3(PO4)2

2. Naming Acids (and Bases)

3. Naming Bases
Naming bases is no different than naming ordinary compounds
For example:
NaOH = Sodium hydroxide
Mg(OH)2 = Magnesium hydroxide

4. Naming Binary Acids
Binary acids contain two different elements: hydrogen and an electronegative element (usually from group 16 or 17).
Name begins with prefix hydro-
Root of second element
Ends with –ic

5. NAME OF ANION OR POLYATOMIC ION
Naming Binary Acids
FORMULA
NAME OF ANION OR POLYATOMIC ION
NAME OF ACID HF
Flouride
Hydroflouric Acid
HBr
Bromide
Hydrobromic Acid
H2S
Sulfide
Hydrosulfuric Acid
HCl
Chloride
Hydrochloric Acid

6. Naming Ternary Acids (aka oxyacids)
An acid that is composed of hydrogen, oxygen and a third element (usually a non-metal)
Usually written as one or more hydrogens with a polyatomic ion
No hydro- at the beginning.
If the polyatomic ion ends in –ite, change it to –ous.
If the polyatomic ion ends in –ate, change it to –ic.

8. Monoprotic vs. diprotic vs. triprotic acids
This refers to the number of protons (or hydrogen ions) of the acid
1 proton = monoprotic
2 protons = diprotic
3 protons = triprotic
