Nomenclature Review
Date: __________
In the beginning was binary ionic nomenclature. . .
First were the representative metals bonded to an anion.
1. Where are the representative metals found?_________________ 2. What are anions?__________________
3. Have anions gained or lost electrons? ___________ 4. Where are anions found on the period table?________
When the cation Ca2+ bonds with the anion Cl1- the compound formed is CaCl2.
5. What is the 2 called in the formula?_________________ 6. What does it tell us about the compound?
Then came the transition metals and those metals under the step-ladder who required a special
Roman numeral after their names. 7. What does the Roman numeral tell us about the metal?
Utilize your nomenclature knowledge for the following binary ionic compounds:
Name these compounds:
8. CaO______________________________
11. TiO2__________________________________
9. CuO______________________________
12. MgS__________________________________
10. Mn2O3___________________________
13. PbCl2_________________________________
Write the formulas for these:
14. Lithium sulfide _____________________
15. Mercury (I) oxide ___________________

35. What element do all acids have? _________________________
36. All binary acids have the prefix _____________.
37. Acids with a polyatomic ion that ends in -ate change to the ending _____________.
38. Acids with a polyatomic ion that ends in -ite change to the ending _____________.
Name: ____________________________

Last in nomenclature came the naming of two or more nonmetals bonded together.
47. Nonmetals are located _______________________ on the period table. These compounds do not have ions
(charges) because the elements are not gaining or losing electrons. They are sharing their electrons.
48. Therefore, these compounds use __________________ such as mono, di, tri.
