⭐(fix)Nomenclature Flashcards
Nomenclature of ionic compounds
Always in empirical (simplest whole # ratios)
What law is used when atoms in an ionic compound have equal/opposite charges?
Law of conservation of charge/energy
Binary ionics
METAL+NONMETAL
2 different elements, end in -ide
Ex: K3P potassium phosphide
Ternary ionics
METAL+POLYATOMIC, 3/+ different elements (look at table e! Usually ends in ate/ite sometimes ide)
Ex: Mg(ClO2)2 magnesium chlorite
How do u know how many atoms should be in an ionic compound? Ex: Ba+2(Po4)-3
Multiply by a quantity so the charges cancel out.
Ex: Ba(3•2) plus (Po4)(-3•2)=6-6=0
Stock system
Roman numerals used to represent the value of oxidation # for a cation (metal) with MULTIPLE oxidation #’s,
Ionic Ex: Fe(+2/+3)Cl3(-1)=Choose Fe +3, Iron(III)Chloride
Covalent Ex: PBr5 Phosphorus(VI)Bromide
Roman numerals 1-7
I, II, III, IV, V, VI, VII
Ions at room temperature are…
Solid
Chemical formula
Symbols tht represent # of atoms in a compound (H2O)
Traditional system
Represents value of oxidation # for cations with MULTIPLE oxidations (old version of Stock, don’t need to k how to write only read)
Ionic Ex: plumbic cyanide Pb(CN)4
Covalent Ex: dinitrogen trioxide (N2O3)
Exceptions
(First 3 polyatomics)
Mercurous= Hg2 +2
Ammonium=NH4 +
Hydronium=H3O +
Binary Covalents
NONMETAL+NONMETAL
Ex: CO carbon(II)oxide
Traditional system IONIC COMPOUNDS
Smallest oxidation -ous
2nd oxidation -ic + the “ide” OR polyatomic name
Ex: PbCl4 lead(IV)chloride
Traditional system COVALENT
USE PREFIXES (mono, di, tri, tetra, penta) for quantity of atoms (1st one doesn't need mono) + ide Ex: CI4 Carbon Tetraiodide
Binary acids
HYDROGEN+NONMETAL
Hydro(nonmetal)ic acid
Ex: H2S Hydrosulfuric acid
