Naming Formulas

Question 1

Molecular compounds

Answer 1

Form from two or more non-metals

Question 2

Ionic compounds

Answer 2

Form between a metal and a non metal

Question 3

Ionic
Type 1 binary

Answer 3

Charge on cation does not vary

Name of cation + base name of anion + ide

Question 4

Ionic
Type 2 binary

Answer 4

Charge on cation varies
Name of cation + charge of cation + base name of anion + ide

Question 5

Ionic compounds w/ poly atomic ions

Answer 5

Name of cation (type I, type II, rule) + name of anion (polyatomic ion)

Question 6

Naming molecular compounds
Type II binary compounds

Answer 6

Heals together by covalent bonds
Prefix + name of first element + prefix + base name of second element + ide
Rule- if first element has one atom “mono” is not needed
Rule 2- if prefix places two vowels next to one another “a” or “o” drop the end of the prefix

Question 7

Naming acids
Binary acids

Answer 7

Include hydrogen and another non metal that isnt oxygen
Hydro + base name of non-metal + ic + acid

Question 8

Naming acids
Oxyacids

Answer 8

Acid that includes oxygen, hydrogen, and non metal
-if name of any anion ends in “ite”, then base name of oxyanion + “ous” + acid
-if name of any anion ends in “ate”, then base name of oxyanion + “ic” + acid

( ite -> ous )
( ate -> ic )

Question 9

Naming hydrates

Answer 9

Any compound that contains water
Name of compound + # of water molecules + hydrate

Question 10

Find Molecular formula with molar mass and empirical formula

Answer 10

(Molar mass / Molar mass of empirical formula)=x
(Empirical formula)(x)= molecular formula
