Lesson 4: Naming Ions and Compounds and Deriving Chemical Formulas

This document provides instructions on naming ions, polyatomic ions, and binary ionic and molecular compounds, as well as deriving chemical formulas using the criss-cross method. Key points include: cations are named by the element name, anions by adding -ide; transition metals use -ic/-ous suffixes; polyatomic ions are named by constituents and -ide/-ate/-ite; binary ionic compounds are formed by combining the cation and anion names; binary molecular compounds use prefixes and the anion is modified with -ide; and the criss-cross method involves writing charges of ions across from each other to derive formulas.

Naming Ions
Sodium Oxygen Limit (NaOL) may label....
Naming Cation
• No change in name. The element’s name is the same.

Naming Anion
• Modify the element’s name with the suffix –ide.
Naming of Cations (Multiple Oxidation State)

• If an element can form two ions of different charges, the name, which is
usually derived from its Latin name, is modified by the suffix –ic for the ion
with the higher charge, and –ous for that with the lower charge. Example,
Ferrous for Fe2+, Latin name (Ferrum) modified by the suffix –ous since it
has the lower charge than Ferric (Fe3+).
• If an element can form two ions of different charges, its element’s name
wilp not be changed hence, add up only the number of charges in Roman
Numeral. Example, Iron (II) for Fe2+
Naming Polyatomic Ions
• Several anions are polyatomic and are named based on the atomic
constituents and the suffix – ide. Examples, Cyanide (CN-) and Hydroxide
(OH-)
• A number of polyatomic anions containing oxygen atoms are named based on
the root word of the central (or non-oxygen) atom and the suffix –ate for the
one with more oxygen atoms and –ite for the one with less oxygen atom.
• If a polyatomic ion has hydrogen, add the prefix bi-. Examples, Hydrogen
Sulfite or Bisulfite (HSO3-), and Hydrogen Sulfate or Bisulfate (HSO4-)
Naming of Binary
Compounds
Naming Binary Ionic Compounds
1. Name the cation
2. Name the anion
3. Combine
Example: NaCl
1. Name the cation. (Na+ = Sodium)
2. Name tye anion. (Cl- = Chloride)
3. Combine. (Sodium + Chloride = Sodium Chloride)
Prefixes for Naming Binary Molecular Compounds
1. Mono
2. Di
3. Tri
4. Tetra
5. Penta
6. Hexa
7. Hepta
8. Octa
9. Nona
10. Deca
Naming of Binary Molecular Compounds
1. Name the first element. Add prefix if necessary.
2. Name the second element. Modify it by the suffix –ide. Add prefix if
necessary.
3. Combine.
Example: H2O
1. Name the first element. Add prefix if necessary. (Hydrogen, since the compound has
2 hydrogen atons then we will add the prefix di-. Dihydrogen)
2. Name the second element. Modify it by the suffix –ide. Add prefix if necessary.
(Oxygen. Modify it by adding the suffix –ide. Oxide. Add the prefix mono- since it has
1 oxygen atom in the compound)
3. Combine. (Dihydrogen Monoxide)
Formula Writing
WARNING!!!
Make sure you are familiar with the ion charges as
this is necessary in writing chemical formulas.
Criss-Cross Method
• This method involves the criss-crossing of charges of ions.

Example: Sodium Chloride


Sodium -> Na+
Chloride -> Cl- Na Cl+ -

NaCl
