For Review

· Binary compounds are named by following a set of rules.

o For compounds containing both a metal and a nonmetal, the metal is always named first. The nonmetal is named from the root element name.

o If the metal ion can have more than one charge (Type II), a Roman numeral is used to specify the charge.

o For binary compounds containing only nonmetals (Type III), prefixes are used to specify the numbers of atoms present.

A set of two flowcharts are shown. The first flowchart shows how binary compounds are named. If there is no metal present, then it is Type 3: use prefixes. If metal is present, then if the metal does not form more than one cation, then it is Type 1: Use the element name for the cation. If it does form more than one cation, then it is Type 2: determine the cation charge and use a Roman numeral after the element name for the cation. The second flowchart says if the compound contains Type 1 cations, name the cation using the element name. If the compound contains Type 2 cations, use the principle of charge balance and determine the cation charge. Then, include in the cation name a Roman numeral indicating the charge.

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

· Naming ionic compounds containing polyatomic ions follows rules similar to those for naming binary compounds.

· The names of acids (molecules with one or more ions attached to an anion) depend on whether the acid contains oxygen.
