Inorganic Nomenclature
- naming
monoatomic
metal ions
- use name of metal and add the word 'ion'
- sodium
metal =
sodium ion
- Na = Na+
- stock
system of
naming
metal
ions
- if a metal ion has more
than one possible
charge it is indicated
by a roman numeral in
parentheses following
the name
- Fe(2+) = iron (II) ion
- Fe(3+) = iron (III) ion
- U(6+) = uranium (VI) ion
- naming
monoatomic
non-metal
ions
- monoatomic:
species made
up of ONE
atom
- Ne He Li+ Cl-
- diatomic:
species
containing TWO
atoms
- polyatomic:
species containing
>1 atom
- take off the original
ending and replace with
'ide'
- chlorine = chloride
- fluorine = fluoride
- constructing
formula of ionic
compound given
name of compound
- write formula of
positive ion first and
negative ion next
- criss cross
the #s in front
of the ion
charges
- tidy it up
- if both subscripts can
be divided by 2 or 3, do
so
- omit the
superscript
charges
- omit subscripts equal to 1
- constructing the
name of an ionic
compound given the
formula
- how many possible
charges does the
first ion have?
- one
- write names of
ions one after
another
- ZnCl2 = znic chloride
- more than one
- un criss cross subscripts and use as charges.
- if the charge on the
negative ion is
double/triple the charge
calculated by un-criss
crossing, double/triple the
charges on both positive
and negative ions
- naming hydrates
- add prefix with
'hydrate' after
compound
- naming
compounds using
prefix-naming
system
- generally reserved for binary compounds
in which there are two different
nonmetals involved
- each
compound is
made up of
two terms,
each with a
suitable prefix
- first word is name
of first element with
a prefix
- second word is name of
second element with an
'ide' ending and a prefix
