Chapter 5 - Naming Compounds Flashcards
1
Q
Binary Compounds
A
compounds that contain two elements
2
Q
Three types of binary compounds
A
Binary ionic compounds Type 1 - metal and a non-metal Type 2 - transition metal and a non-metal Binary Compounds Type 3- non-metal and metal
3
Q
Type 1 - Binary Ionic Compound
A
- contains a metal (cation) and a nonmetal (anion)
4
Q
Rules for naming binary ionic compounds
A
- cation is named first followed by anion.
- cation is named for the name of the element.
- Anion uses the root name from the element and add -ide to the end.
5
Q
Type 2- Binary Ionic Compounds
A
- the compounds contain transition metals that can form two or more different cations.
- when naming these compounds we have to account for the charge of the cation using Roman numerials.
- general naming is the same as Type 1 compounds
6
Q
Type 3 Binary Compounds
A
- these compounds contain two nonmetals
- ions are not formed. electrons are shared between the two elements.
- prefixes are used to indicate the number of atoms of each element.
