The Multivalent Metals
Why Roman Numerals?
Roman Numerals
One – I
Two – II
Three – III
Four – IV
Five – V
Six – VI
When using a MULTIvalent elements, the
charge of that element in a compound
MUST be denoted by placing a Roman
numeral after the name of the element.

Classical Naming
“Old School” Naming
Older method was based on the few metals that
were known in the past. Name derived from the
old (Greek or Latin) name of the elements.

• Metals only could have two possible valences
• “ic” and “ous” system distinguished between the
two metals
• “ic” ending indicates higher valence or charge
• “ous” ending indicated lower valence or charge

Covalent (Molecular) Compounds
This approach is used
when naming
compounds that are
made up of non-metal
elements only.
Naming covalent
compounds requires
Greek prefixes.
