Learning Objectives
● identify and differentiate covalent and ionic
compounds.
● apply the rules of nomenclature to name
covalent and ionic compounds.
● write the chemical formulas for covalent and
ionic compounds.
INTERNATIONAL
UNION OF PURE AND
APPLIED CHEMISTRY
(IUPAC)
has established the rules of
nomenclature of all chemical
compounds. IUPAC nomenclature can
also be called "systematic"
nomenclature because there is an
overall system and structure to the
names.
COVALENT COMPOUNDS
● Covalent compounds are made up of two
or more nonmetals that are chemically
bonded together.
● One characteristic of covalent
compounds is that they are named using
the Greek prefixes mono-, di-, tri-, tetra-
and so on.
● In addition, it also uses the suffix -ide, just
like how binary ionic compounds are
named.
How are chemical
formulas of covalent
compounds determined
from their names?
The name specifically count the number of atoms
each element has.

NAMING COVALENT COMPOUND
GENERAL RULE
Step 1: Determine the formula of the compound.
Step 2: Determine the number of atoms of each element in the compound.
This will help you decide which prefixes to use when naming the
compound.
Step 3: Write the name of the first element in the compound. If there is
only one atom of the first element, do not use the prefix "mono-".
Step 4: Write the name of the second element in the compound, using the
appropriate prefix to indicate the number of atoms. The second element
will end in "-ide".
Step 5: Put the prefixes and element names together to form the name of
the compound, with the prefix for the first element being optional.

Nomenclature of Common Cations
For monatomic cations with several charge states,
different rules are applied to distinguish the
different charge states.

Usually, the stem name is taken from the element’s
Latin name.

Stock system: the cation’s charge state is written as
Roman numerals enclosed in parentheses beside
the element’s name.

Nomenclature of Common Cations
If the nonmetal can form two oxyanions, then the
one with a lower number of oxygen atoms is
appended with the suffix -ite.

Nomenclature of Polyatomic Ions
If more than two oxoanions are possible, then
the following rules are applied:

hypochlorite ⟶ hypochlorous
