Naming of Inorganic Compounds

Question 1

Naming steps for:

Metal + Nonmetal

Answer 1

metal element + nonmetal element (-ide)

Na + Cl
Sodium + Chlorine
= Sodium Chloride

Question 2

Naming steps for:

Transition Metals + Nonmetals

Answer 2

metal (oxidation state) + nonmetal (-ide)

OR LATIN NAMING
Lowest oxidation state (suffix -ous)
Highest oxidation state (suffix -ic)

Question 3

Difference between metals and transition metals

Answer 3

Metals - only have 1 oxidation state

Transition Metals - have multiple oxidation states

Question 4

Naming steps for:

Nonmetal + Nonmetal

Answer 4

(numerical prefix) cation + (numerical prefix) anion (-ide)

N2O5
dinitrogen pentoxide

Question 5

Naming steps for:

Binary Acids

Answer 5

GAS: hydrogen + nonmetal (-ide)
- hydrogen flouride

AQUA: hydro + nonmetal (-ic) + acid
-hydroflouric acid

Question 6

Naming steps for:

COMPOUNDS with Polyatomic Ions

Answer 6

*polyatomic ions base on the superscript value!!*
1 = hypo\_\_\_\_\_ite
2 = \_\_\_\_ite
3 = \_\_\_\_ate
4 = per\_\_\_\_\_ate

first element + polyatomic ion
Potassium Permanganate
(KMnO4)
