Naming Flashcards
Steps to name ions with variable charges (iron 3 chloride)
- Write first element
- Write Roman numerals in parentheses
3 write second element with IDE
How to determine which variation to use with variable ions
Check the charges… Duh
Steps in naming molecular compounds
- Write name of first ion, with prefix unless it is one!!!!!
- Write name of second ion, with prefix!!!!!!
Naming binary acids (starts with h)
Step 1: write hydro-
Step 2: use the root of the anions name with an ic ending.
Step 2.5: write acid. Don’t worry about little numbers.
Step3 stop writing.
Naming oxy acids (yes, with an o, if you couldn’t tell :)
Step 1. Don't write hydro. Step 2. Use the root of the anion with these endings. Ate to Ic Ite to Ous Step 2.7 write acid Step 3 don't write anymore
When writing the formula for an acid
Always put h out front
Steps to name a compound CaCl (binary ionic)
- Name the first element (cation)
- Name the second ion with IDE ending
(Calcium chloride)
when i write the name of a molecule like Iron (iii) Cloride do i need to also write the prefix for the anion
nope thats just for molecular
