Interpretation:
Use standard chemical nomenclature to deduce the names of simple inorganic compounds from their formula or vice versa.
Concept introduction:
Naming of binary ionic compound:
Binary ionic compound contains only two elements.
Process for nomenclature is
1. Place the ions in their proper order cation and anion.
Naming of cation:
1. Metals that form only one cation:
Metal of group
E.g. sodium forms sodium ion
Calcium forms calcium ion
Aluminum forms aluminum ion
2. Metals that form more than one cation:
Metals of group
Example:
3. Poly atomic cation:
The names of common polyatomic cation those are relatively important in ionic compounds (such as ammonium ion).
List of some cation are:
Cation | Systematic name |
|
Lithium ion |
|
Sodium ion |
|
Potassium ion |
|
Rubidium ion |
|
Calcium ion |
|
Magnesium ion |
|
Barium ion |
|
cobalt |
|
Chromium |
|
iron |
|
iron |
|
Manganese |
|
Manganese |
Naming of anion:
1. Monoatomic anion:
Monoatomic anions are named by adding the suffix-ide to the root of the name of the parent element.
Example:
2. Polyatomic anions:
Polyatomic anions that contain a single metal or non-metal atom plus one or more oxygen atoms are called oxyanions. Oxyanion with more oxygen atoms are called oxyanions. In cases where only two oxyanions are known for an element, the name of the oxyanion with more oxygen atoms ends in
Answer to Problem 9CO
Solution: Let’s take inorganic compound
Since, calcium form
Here,
Now, place these in proper order,
Therefore,
Explanation of Solution
Place the ion in proper manner cation first then anion.
Formation of cation from calcium atom:
Calcium form calcium ion
Placing calcium ion
Nomenclature of inorganic compounds depends upon the nomenclature of cation and anions.

- Name or write chemical formulas for binary inorganic compounds and for acidsarrow_forwardings ools Molecular compounds are usually composed solely of nonmetals. A binary molecular compound is one in which the compound contains only two elements (regardless of how many atoms are present of each). When naming binary molecular compounds, prefixes are used to specify the number of atoms of each element. Take a moment to review some of the prefixes shown here. Prefix Number mono di nona one three tetra four penta five hexa six hepta seven octa eight nine deca two ten For example, SF6 is named sulfur hexafluoride. Note that the prefix mono is not used in naming the first element. Also note that the second element in the name should end with the suffix ide. ▼ Part A Using the rules for naming molecular compounds described in the introduction, what is the name for the compound PC15?

- How can you use Lewis structures to determine the formula of ionic compounds? Give an example.arrow_forwardIndicate the procedure that you would use in naming ionic compounds. Please cite two examples.arrow_forwardRead: An Ion is a charged atom, # protons ≠ # electrons. On page three, paragraph one states, “The prefix poly- means many and atomic refers to atoms, so a polyatomic ion is an ion that contains more than one atom. This differentiates polyatomic ions from monatomic ions, which contain only one atom.” Ions that contain only one atom are called monoatomic ions. Ions that contain more than one atom are called polyatomic ions. A monatomic ion is a single charged atom, with the number of protons not equal to the number of electrons. A polyatomic ion is a group of covalently-bonded atoms, with the total number of protons not equal to the total number of electrons.
