Criss Cross Method

The document outlines naming conventions for different types of chemical compounds and ions. It discusses naming conventions for groups of elements, monatomic and polyatomic ions, acids, and covalent compounds. Prefixes and suffixes are used to indicate characteristics like number of atoms, charge, and oxygen content.

a.

Group 1A
•Name of the element itself.
• sodium
b.Group 2A
•Name of the element itself.
C. Transition metals/metals with more than one
ions (groups 1B to 8B)
• Stock method
• English name then roman numeral written inside the
parenthesis to indicate the charge. [--Iron (II)]
• Classical method
• The ion with lower charge ends with -ous. (-- ferrous)
• The ion with higher charge ends with –ic. (ferric)
d. Monatomic anions (one anion)
•Root + ide (chlor+ide)
e. Polyatomic nonmetals with oxygen
• The anion with lesser oxygen ends with –ite.
• The anion with more oxygen ends with –ate.
f. 4 different ions of a polyatomic halogens
with oxygen.
• 1 atom: hypochlorite
• 2 atoms: chlorite
• 3 atoms: chlorate
• 4 atoms: perchlorate
g. Ternary polyatomic ions (2 diff. elements + H)
• If there is only one type of ion formed, add a prefix
–bi to indicate the presence of hydrogen.
• bicarbonate
• if there are several ions formed with hydrogen,
Greek prefixes are used to indicate the number of
hydrogen atoms present.
• hydrogen phosphate
• dihydrogen phosphate
h. Acids
• Binary acids (2 different elements)
• Add hydro+ root + ic + acid (hydrochloric acid)
• Ternary acid (3 different elements)
• change ‘ite’ to ous and add acid
• chlorous acid
• Change ‘ate’ to ic and add acid
• chloric acid
i. Covalent compounds
• Greek prefixes are used to indicate the number of atoms
• For the first element, the whole name is written.
• For the second element, the root word is added with –
ide.
• The word mono is not often used when it is on the first
element.
• Monocarbon dioxide= carbon dioxide
• The letter ‘a’ in the prefix is dropped down when the
following letter is a vowel.
• tetra+oxide= tetroxide
