..............be ONE ATOM.
Step 2: The anion name (second name) will tell you the .element
you are using AND the prefix will tell you .how many
atoms there are of that element.
***”MONO” is never used on the first element. If there is only
one atom there will be no prefix.

..............SYSTEM.
Step 2: The first symbol will tell you the name of the first element
in the compound.
..............the name appears as it would normally.
Step 3: The subscript after the first symbol tells you the number
of atoms of that element.
..............use the GREEK PREFIXES to show this number.
..............*** “MONO” is never used on the first element. If
..............
there is only one atom there will be no prefix.
Step 4: The second symbol will tell you the name of the
second.element in the compound.

d.) Given Formula, Write The Name
Step 1: Uncriss-cross the formula and find the ions
involved.
..............if a VARIABLE CATION is used you will need to use the
..............common system (”ic” or “ous”) or the stock system
..............(roman numerals)
..............make sure to find the charge on the NEGATIVE ANION
..............first...this will help you greatly in finding the charge
..............on the cation
Step 2: The first symbol will tell you the name of the first element
in the compound.
..............the name appears as it would normally.
Step 3: The second symbol will tell you the name of the polyatomic
ion in the compound.
..............remember that () tell you that everything inside
..............stays together
Step 4: Combine the t wo names to form the overall name of
the compound.
............
Example:
Fe(NO3)2
Step 1:
Fe
+
NO3
NO3 is always (-)
The () around the NO3 tell you that the 3 stays with the NO...AND that the
2 outside the () is from the Fe.
So...
Fe 2+
NO3 -
Step 2:
Fe2+ = Ferrous or Iron (II)
NO3 -= Nitrate
Answer:
Ferrous nitrate
or
Iron (II) nitrate

Given The Formula, Write The Name
V.) Naming Acids
a.) Binary Acid:
b.) Polyatomic Acid:
c.) Assumption:
Two Elements TOTAL in the acid..
More than t wo total elements in the acid.
99.9% of all acids or compounds that are
acids start with H.
d.) Given Formula, Write The Name
Step 1: Determine if it is binary or polyatomic.
a.) Binary acids have TWO total elements.
b.) Polyatomic acids have MORE THAN t wo total
elements.
Step 2: The first element will always be Hydrogen (H +)
Step 3:
If the acid is BINARY
Hydro + root of second element + ic Acid
HCl
Hydro + CHLOR + ic Acid
Step 4:
If it is POLYATOMIC
H + Polyatomic Ion
H2CO3 -------> H + +
Step 5:
CO3 2-
Determine the name of the POLYATOMIC Acid Ion
“ate” on end of the ion = Polyatomic Root + “ic”
“ite” on end of the ion = Polyatomic Root + “ous”
H2CO3 -------> H
+
+
CO3
2-
CO3 = carbonATE = carbon + ic
Carbonic Acid
Teacher Examples:
1.) H2SO3
2.) HCl
3.) HNO2
4.) HBr
5.) H2SO4
Acids
1) phosphoric acid
2) carbonic acid
3) sulfuric acid
4) iodic acid
5) hydrofluoric acid
6) nitrous acid
Acids
7) HBr
8) HCN [even though CN¯ is polyatomic, it is named according to the binary rule]
9) HNO3
10) H2SO3
11) H3PO3
12) CH3COOH or HC2H3O2
Hydrates
1) trihydrate = . 3 H2O
2) octahydrate = . 8 H2O
Now, I know you may have just said three and eight to yourself. That's OK. Just remember the business with the dot AND putting
H2O.
One really silly mistake I've seen is where the kid multiplies everything out. For example, with trihydrate, the person writes H6O3.
So, what they did was take the three which should be out front and distributed it over the H2O.
Nah! No! Nein! Non!
You get the point.
Right?
3) Name this substance:
MgSO4 . 9 H2O

Answers:
3) Magnesium sulfate nonahydrate
4) BaCl2 . 2 H2O
