NOMENCLATURE:

COMPOUNDS
Elizabeth M. Mortel
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.

Four = tetra

Writing and Naming
Ionic Compounds
How are chemical formulas of ionic compounds
determined?
● The most important consideration in writing the
chemical formulas of ionic compounds is their
electrical neutrality.

● When a cation and an anion combine, they must


form an ionic compound with a net charge of
zero.

Formulas of Ionic Compounds
with Polyatomic Ions
Polyatomic ions are charged
chemical species composed of
two or more atoms that are
covalently bonded to each other.

For example, nitrate (NO3-) is a


polyatomic anion.
Naming Ionic Compounds:
Step 1: Identify the cation and anion in the ionic compound.
Step 2: Write the name of the cation first. If the cation is a metal
that can form multiple ions, indicate the charge of the ion by
writing the Roman numeral in parentheses after the name of the
metal. For example, FeCl2 is iron(II) chloride because iron can
form both Fe2+ and Fe3+ ions.
Step 3: Write the name of the anion second, using the first
syllable of the element name followed by "-ide". For example, Cl-
is chloride, O2- is oxide, N3- is nitride.
Step 4: Combine the names of the cation and anion, making sure
to use correct capitalization and spacing.
Naming common cations:

Zn+ 2 zinc ion

Na+ sodium ion

Nomenclature of Common Cations
● Polyatomic compounds are compounds with
three or more types of elements.
● Polyatomic anions usually come in the form
of oxoanions, which are ions that contain both
a nonmetal element and oxygen.
● For example, CO32- is an oxoanion because it
contains the nonmetal element carbon and
oxygen.
Nomenclature of Common Cations
Oxoanions are named by appending the suffix -
ate to the element’s stem name.

CO32-
carbon + ate
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.

SO3 2- SO4 2-
sulfite sulfate
Nomenclature of Polyatomic Ions
If more than two oxoanions are possible, then
the following rules are applied:

increasing number of oxygen

ClO- ClO2- ClO3- ClO4-


hypo– –ite –ate hyper–
–ite –ate
Nomenclature of Acids and Their Salts
● For binary acids, the prefix hydro- and the suffix -ic
are appended to the stem name of the element.
● Therefore, HCl (aq) is called hydrochloric acid while
HBr (aq) is called hydrobromic acid.
● The acid should have the label (aq) to indicate that it
is dissolved in water. Without that indication, the acid
should be named as a molecule.

● The acid should have the label (aq) to indicate that it

Nomenclature of Acids and Their Salts

For acids of oxoanions, naming involves replacing the


suffix -ite with -ous and replacing the suffix -ate with -ic.

If more than one type of hydrogen-containing salt is


possible for an element, then the prefixes di-, tri-, tetra-,
and so on, are added to hydrogen.

reasons:
COMMUNICATION
CLARITY
SAFETY
STANDARDIZATION
