Nomenclature Flashcards
What are the type II metals?
every one else?
What are the type I metals
group 1, always (1+)
group 2, always (2+)
Al (3+), Ga (3+), Zn (2+), Cd (2+), Ag (1+)
Ammonium Ion behaves like a group I metal (NH4+)
how to identify an acid?
if a formula starts with H or ends in -COOH (carboxylic acid)
Type I, ionic, what are the two rules?
give the metal ion (cation) its elemental name
if the anion is simple, change the ending of the elemental name to “-ide”
if anion is polyatomic, give it its proper name
what is the ending of a polyatomic ion that has one less O but the same charge?
-ite
why would you add hypo- to the beginning and -ite to the end of a polyatomic ion?
it has 2 less O’s and the same charge
what would you add to a polyatomic ion to show it has an extra O?
per-
Type II ionic compound rule
name elements their name, and include the charge of the metal cation in Roman numerals in parenthesis
covalent compounds
name the elements, include the correct number of elements in the name (N2O4 = dinitrogen tetroxide)

H plus polyatomic acid name?
