1. Nomenclature ( Compounds: Formulas & Names) Dr. Ron Rusay © Copyright 2010 R.J. Rusay

2. Chemical Formulas and Naming Molecular Formula: Elements’ Symbols = atoms Subscripts = relative numbers of atoms How are compounds named? CaCl 2 CCl 4 NaOH (NH 4 ) 2 CO 3 C 20 H 26 N 2 O (Ibogaine)

3. Nomenclature Nomenclature: the naming of compounds Governed by the IUPAC: International Union of Pure and Applied Chemistry International rules are updated periodically General schemes and examples follow:

5. Naming Compounds Name cation first, then anion Monatomic cation = name of the element Ca 2+ = calcium ion Anion = root + -ide Cl  = chlorine Binary Ionic Compounds: For example; CaCl 2 ide CaCl 2 = calcium chloride

6. Common Monatomic Cations and Anions

7. Common Cations and Anions

8. QUESTION

9. ANSWER. D)lithium chloride Lithium is a Group IA metal, so it always forms a +1 ion. Therefore, no roman numeral is necessary.

10. Naming Compounds (continued) metal forms more than one cation: Pb 2+ or possibly Pb 4+ ? Ambiguous? option 1) use Roman numeral in name If Pb 2+ is the cation; eg. PbCl 2 : PbCl 2 = lead (II) chloride or 2) use name (latinized) + suffix: -ous (lower) or -ic (higher) Binary Ionic Compounds (Type II): PlumbumPlumbous

11. Common Type II Cations

12. Naming Compounds (continued) Compounds formed between two nonmetals First element in the formula is named first. It is the more electropositive. Second element is named as if it were an anion. Use prefixes to count the # of atoms. Do not normally use mono as a prefix.- P 2 O 5 = diphosphorus pentoxide Binary compounds (Type III):

13. QUESTION

14. ANSWER. B)iron (II) oxide Iron is a transition metal that forms more than one type of ion. A roman numeral is needed to indicate which ion is present in the compound.
