Naming Compounds Handout: A Comprehensive Guide
Are you struggling to name chemical compounds? Do you feel overwhelmed by the seemingly endless rules and exceptions? This comprehensive handout provides a clear, step-by-step guide to mastering the art of naming inorganic and simple organic compounds. We'll cover the key principles, offer helpful tips and tricks, and provide practice problems to solidify your understanding. Whether you're a high school student, an undergraduate chemistry student, or simply someone curious about the fascinating world of chemistry, this guide is designed to help you confidently name a wide variety of compounds.
Understanding the Basics of Chemical Nomenclature
Before diving into the specifics, let's establish a foundational understanding. Chemical nomenclature is the system used to name chemical compounds. This system ensures consistency and clarity in communication amongst chemists worldwide. The naming conventions are largely based on the types of elements involved and the bonds between them. We'll primarily focus on inorganic compounds (those that do not contain carbon-hydrogen bonds, excluding simple carbon oxides and carbonates) and some simple organic compounds.
Naming Binary Ionic Compounds (Metal + Nonmetal)
Binary ionic compounds are composed of a metal cation (positive ion) and a nonmetal anion (negative ion). Naming these is relatively straightforward:
Step 1: Write the name of the metal cation first. If the metal forms only one cation (e.g., Na⁺, K⁺, Mg²⁺), simply use its name.
Step 2: Write the name of the nonmetal anion second, changing its ending to "-ide". For example, chlorine becomes chloride, oxygen becomes oxide, and sulfur becomes sulfide.
Examples:
NaCl: Sodium chloride
MgO: Magnesium oxide
Al₂S₃: Aluminum sulfide
Naming Ionic Compounds with Transition Metals
Transition metals often form multiple cations with different charges. To distinguish between these, we use Roman numerals in parentheses after the metal's name to indicate the charge.
Step 1: Determine the charge of the transition metal cation. This is usually done by considering the charge of the anion and ensuring the overall compound is electrically neutral.
Step 2: Write the name of the metal cation followed by the Roman numeral indicating its charge, then the name of the nonmetal anion (ending in "-ide").
Examples:
FeCl₂: Iron(II) chloride
FeCl₃: Iron(III) chloride
CuO: Copper(II) oxide
Naming Polyatomic Ions
Polyatomic ions are groups of atoms that carry a net charge. These require memorization, but there are patterns and tricks to help. Common examples include:
Nitrate (NO₃⁻)
Sulfate (SO₄²⁻)
Phosphate (PO₄³⁻)
Carbonate (CO₃²⁻)
Ammonium (NH₄⁺)
When naming compounds containing polyatomic ions, treat the polyatomic ion as a single unit, using its name directly.
Examples:
NaNO₃: Sodium nitrate
CaSO₄: Calcium sulfate
(NH₄)₃PO₄: Ammonium phosphate
Naming Covalent Compounds (Nonmetal + Nonmetal)
Covalent compounds are formed by sharing electrons between nonmetals. Their naming system differs from ionic compounds:
Step 1: The element farther to the left on the periodic table is named first. If both elements are in the same group, the one lower down is named first.
Step 2: Use prefixes (mono-, di-, tri-, tetra-, penta-, hexa-, hepta-, octa-, nona-, deca-) to indicate the number of atoms of each element. Note that "mono-" is often omitted for the first element.
Step 3: Change the ending of the second element to "-ide".
Examples:
CO: Carbon monoxide
CO₂: Carbon dioxide
N₂O₄: Dinitrogen tetroxide
PCl₅: Phosphorus pentachloride
Naming Simple Organic Compounds (Hydrocarbons)
Simple organic compounds containing only carbon and hydrogen (hydrocarbons) are named using a systematic approach based on the number of carbon atoms and the type of bonds. Alkanes (single bonds), alkenes (double bonds), and alkynes (triple bonds) are common examples. This topic is significantly broader and requires further study beyond the scope of this handout.

To solidify your understanding, try naming the following compounds:
1. KBr
2. MgCl₂
3. Fe₂O₃
4. CuS
5. SO₃
6. N₂O₅
You can find many online resources, including interactive quizzes and tutorials, to further enhance your skills in naming chemical compounds.

| naming compounds handout: Compendium of Polymer Terminology and Nomenclature Richard G Jones, Edward S Wilks, W. Val Metanomski, Jaroslav Kahovec, Michael Hess, Robert Stepto, Tatsuki Kitayama, 2009-01-19 The IUPAC system of polymer nomenclature has aided the generation of unambiguous names that re ect the historical development of chemistry. However, the explosion in the circulation of information and the globalization of human activities mean that it is now necessary to have a common language for use in legal situations, patents, export-import regulations, and environmental health and safety information. Rather than recommending a ‘unique name’ for each structure, rules have been developed for assigning ‘preferred IUPAC names’, while continuing to allow alternatives in order to preserve the diversity and adaptability of nomenclature. Compendium of Polymer Terminology and Nomenclature is the only publication to collect the most important work on this subject into a single volume. It serves as a handy compendium for scientists and removes the need for time consuming literature searches. One of a series issued by the International Union of Pure and Applied Chemistry (IUPAC), it covers the terminology used in many and varied aspects of polymer science as well as the nomenclature of several di erent types of polymer including regular and irregular single-strand organic polymers, copolymers and regular double-strand (ladder and spiro) organic polymers. |

| naming compounds handout: Ancient Greek Verb-Initial Compounds Olga Tribulato, 2015-06-16 This book provides a brand new treatment of Ancient Greek (AG) verb-first (V1) compounds. In AG, the very existence of this type is surprising: its left-oriented structure goes against the right-oriented structure of the compound system, in which there also exists a large class of verb-final (V2) compounds (many of which express the same agentive semantics). While past studies have privileged either the historical dimension or the assessment of semantic and stylistic issues over a systematic analysis of V1 compounds, this book provides a comprehensive corpus of appellative and onomastic forms, which are studied vis-à-vis V2 ones. The diachronic dimension (how these compounds developed from late PIE to AG and then within AG) is combined with the synchronic one (how they are used in specific contexts) in order to show that, far from being anomalous, V1 compounds fill lexical gaps that could not, for specified morphological and semantic reasons, be filled by more ‘regular’ V2 ones. Introductory chapters on compounding in morphological theory and in AG place the multi-faceted approach of this book in a modern perspective, highlighting the importance of AG for linguists debating the properties of the V1 type cross-linguistically. |
| naming compounds handout: Organic Chemistry Concepts and Applications for Medicinal Chemistry Joseph E. Rice, 2014-04-14 Organic Chemistry Concepts and Applications for Medicinal Chemistry provides a valuable refresher for understanding the relationship between chemical bonding and those molecular properties that help to determine medicinal activity. This book explores the basic aspects of structural organic chemistry without going into the various classes of reactions. Two medicinal chemistry concepts are also introduced: partition coefficients and the nomenclature of cyclic and polycyclic ring systems that comprise a large number of drug molecules. Given the systematic name of a drug, the reader is guided through the process of drawing an accurate chemical structure. By emphasizing the relationship between structure and properties, this book gives readers the connections to more fully comprehend, retain, apply, and build upon their organic chemistry background in further chemistry study, practice, and exams. - Focused approach to review those organic chemistry concepts that are most important for medicinal chemistry practice and understanding - Accessible content to refresh the reader's knowledge of bonding, structure, functional groups, stereochemistry, and more - Appropriate level of coverage for students in organic chemistry, medicinal chemistry, and related areas; individuals seeking content review for graduate and medical courses and exams; pharmaceutical patent attorneys; and chemists and scientists requiring a review of pertinent material |

| naming compounds handout: Managing the Undesirables Michel Agier, 2011-01-25 Official figures classify some fifty million of the world’s people as 'victims of forced displacement'. Refugees, asylum seekers, disaster victims, the internally displaced and the temporarily tolerated - categories of the excluded proliferate, but many more are left out of count. In the face of this tragedy, humanitarian action increasingly seems the only possible response. On the ground, however, the 'facilities' put in place are more reminiscent of the logic of totalitarianism. In a situation of permanent catastrophe and endless emergency, 'undesirables' are kept apart and out of sight, while the care dispensed is designed to control, filter and confine. How should we interpret the disturbing symbiosis between the hand that cares and the hand that strikes? After seven years of study in the refugee camps, Michel Agier reveals their 'disquieting ambiguity' and stresses the imperative need to take into account forms of improvisation and challenge that are currently transforming the camps, sometimes making them into towns and heralding the emergence of political subjects. A radical critique of the foundations, contexts, and political effects of humanitarian action. |

In these stories Adichie turns her penetrating eye to the ties that bind men and women, parents and children, Nigeria and the United States. In “A Private Experience,” a medical student hides from a violent riot with a poor Muslim woman, and the young mother at the centre of “Imitation” finds her comfortable life in Philadelphia threatened when she learns that her husband has moved his mistress into their Lagos home. Searing and profound, suffused with beauty, sorrow and longing, this collection is a resounding confirmation of Adichie’s prodigious literary powers. |
