Nomenclature
Objectives
1. To learn to name binary compounds of a metal and a
nonmetal
2. To learn to name binary compounds containing only
nonmetals
3. To summarize the naming of all types of binary
compounds
Section 4.1
Naming Binary Compounds
A. Naming Compounds That Contain a Metal and a
Nonmetal
• Binary ionic compounds
contain positive cations
and negative anions.
Type I compounds
• Metal present forms
only one cation
Type II compounds
• Metal present can form
2 or more cations with
different charges

Naming Binary Compounds
A. Naming Compounds That Contain a Metal and a
Nonmetal
• For compounds containing both a metal and a nonmetal,
the metal is always named first. The nonmetal is named
from the root element name.

Type II Binary Ionic compounds
• Since the metal ion can have more than one charge, a
Roman numeral is used to specify the charge.
