Section 4.1
Naming Binary Compounds

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

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.

1. To learn the names of common polyatomic ions
2. To learn to name compounds containing polyatomic
ions
3. To learn how the anion composition determines an
acid’s name
4. To learn the names for common acids

Naming and Writing Formulas for More Complex Compounds

A. Naming Compounds That Contain Polyatomic Ions


• Polyatomic ions are charged entities composed of
several atoms bound together.
• They have special names and must be memorized.
