naming compounds

Question 1

ionic compound with group 1 and 2 metals and non metals

also aluminum, zinc and silver

Answer 1

keep the name of the metal

shorten the non metal and change ending to “ide”

Question 2

aluminum’s charge?

Answer 2

+3

Question 3

zinc’s charge?

Answer 3

+2

Question 4

silver’s charge?

Answer 4

+1

Question 5

ionic ionic compounds with transition metals and non metals

Answer 5

must write a roman numeral in brackets after the non metal to indicate the charge of the transition metal
shorten non metal and change ending to “ide”

Question 6

ionic compounds with polyatomic ions

hint: oxygen thing

Answer 6

radicals get their names from the number of oxygens the have compared to the most common one (the radical ending in “ate”)
if it has one less oxygen ending turns to “ite”
if two less oxygen add a prefix of “hypo” and change ending to “ite”
if one more oxygen add prefix “per” and ending stays “ate”

Question 7

covalent compounds

Answer 7

all non metals
used prefixes to indicate how many of each atom there is
what only one atom in the FIRST element DONT use the prefix mono

Question 8

prefixes for covalent compounds

Answer 8

1-mono
2-di
3-tri
4-tetra
5-penta
6- hexa 
7-hepta
8-octa
9-nona
10-deca

Question 9

acids

Answer 9

contain or start with H

in the metal position

Question 10

naming acids containing halogens

Answer 10

shorten hydrogen to hydro and change the ending to “ic”

ex HCL hydrogen chloride = hydrochloric acid

Question 11

naming acids with radicals of “ate”

Answer 11

drop the hydrogen and change the “ate” ending to “ic”
ex H4SO4 = hydrogen sulphate =
sulphuric acid

Question 12

naming acids containing radicals of “ite”

Answer 12

drop hydrogen and change ending of “ite” to “ous”

ex HNO2 hydrogen nitrite= nitrous acid

Question 13

naming hydrated complexes

Answer 13

name compound as normal then use prefixes and the word hydrate to indicate the number of water molecules
