Inorganic nomenclature
- Set of rules used to name inorganic compounds. IUPAC is the highest chemical nomenclature authority
- Inorganic compounds are classified according to their chemical function in oxides, bases, acids, and salts.
There are three types of valid nomenclatures: Stoichiometric, stock and traditional
Inorganic compounds is divided in two
Which ones?
Binary
Ternary
Binary
- Metal+Oxygen- metal oxides- Na²O, Fe²O³
- Nonmetal+oxygen- nonmetal oxides(Anhydrides)-NO³, CO²
- Metal+nonmetal- binary salts- NaCl, FeBr³
- Metal+hydrogen- Metal hydrieds- AuH³,PbH⁴
- Hydrogen+Nonmetal- Nonmetal hydrieds- HCl, H²S
Ternary
- Metal+Polyatomic- Oxysalts- Na²SO⁴, Al²(CO²)³
- Metal+OH- Hydroxides- NaOH, Au(OH)³
- Hydrogen+Polyatomic ion- Oxyacid(oxoacids)- H³PO⁴, HNO³
Stoichiometric: .
indicate the # of atoms of each element present in the molecule using numerical prefixes
Stock:
indicate the oxidation # of the cation with Roman numerals.
Traditional:.
indicating the oxidation # suffix of the cation

Chemical reactions
nvolves a transformation at an atomic level.
-Process in which one or more substances (elements or compounds), the reactants, are converted to different substances (rearranging the constituent atoms of the reactants), the products (one or more).
How can you represent a chemical reaction?
by using formulas and symbols. These formulas and symbols constitute a chemical equation.
What is on the left side of the arrow of the formulas,
Formulas of the initial substances known as reactants or reagents
What is on the right side of the atom of the formula
The final substances, known as products
