Essential Information on Naming Compounds, Cations, and Anions

Learn about the essential elements, symbols, and polyatomic ions you need to know for naming compounds correctly. Understand rules for naming compounds when elements combine, including diatomic molecules, halogens, oxygen, and sulfur. Explore polyatomic ions with different charges and their names to enhance your chemistry knowledge.

Presentation Transcript

1. Naming Compounds, cations and anions

2. Elements and symbols that you should know: Part 1 The obvious ones: 1) Hydrogen 2) Helium 3) Lithium 4) Beryllium 5) Boron 6) Carbon 7) Nitrogen H He Li Be B C N 8) Oxygen 9) Fluorine 10)Neon 11) Magnesium 12)Aluminium 13)Silicon 14)Phosphorus O F Ne Mg Al Si P

3. Some more obvious ones: S Cl Ar 15)Sulphur 16)Chlorine 17)Argon 18) Calcium 19) Zinc Ca Zn The less obvious ones: Na K Fe Cu Ag 1) Sodium 2) Potassium 3) Iron 4) Copper 5) Silver 6) Tin 7) Gold 8) Mercury 9) Lead Sn Au Hg Pb

4. Polyatomic ions (-1 charge) H2PO4 C2H3O2 HSO3 HCO3 NO2 NO3 CN OH MnO4 ClO ClO2 ClO3 ClO4 DiHydrogen phosphate Acetate Hydrogen Sulfite Hydrogen Carbonate Nitrite Nitrate Cyanide Hydroxide Permanganate Hypochlorite Chlorite Chlorate Perchlorate

5. Polyatomic ions (-2 charge) HPO4 C2O4 SO3 SO4 CO3 CrO4 Cr2O7 SiO3 Hydrogen Phosphate Oxalate Sulfite Sulfate Carbonate Chromate Dichromate Silicate

6. Polyatomic ions (-3 charge) PO3 PO4 Phosphite Phosphate

7. Rule 1If two identical elements combine then the name doesn t change This happens with the following elements: 4) F2 5) Cl2 6) Br2 1) H2 2) N2 3) O2 These elements always go around in pairs (diatomic molecules). For example, hydrogen looks like this:

8. Rule 2 When two elements join and one is a halogen, oxygen or sulphur the name ends with ____ide e.g. Magnesium + oxygen magnesium oxide 1) Sodium + chlorine 2) Magnesium + fluorine 3) Lithium + iodine 4) Chlorine + copper 5) Oxygen + iron 6) KBr 7) LiCl 8) CaO 9) MgS 10)KF

9. Rule 3 When three or more elements combine and two of them are hydrogen and oxygen the name ends with hydroxide e.g. Sodium + hydrogen + oxygen Sodium hydroxide 1) Potassium + hydrogen + oxygen 2) Lithium + hydrogen + oxygen 3) Calcium + hydrogen + oxygen 4) Mg(OH)2

10. Rule 4 When three or more elements combine and one of them is oxygen the ending is _____ate e.g. Copper + sulphur + oxygen Copper sulphate 1) Calcium + carbon + oxygen 2) Potassium + carbon + oxygen 3) Calcium + sulphur + oxygen 4) Magnesium + chlorine + oxygen 5) Calcium + oxygen + nitrogen 6) AgNO3 7) H2SO4 8) K2CO3

11. Covalent formulae Ionic formulae H2O CO2 NH3 H2 O2 N2 SO2 Water Carbon dioxide Ammonia Hydrogen Oxygen Nitrogen Sulphur dioxide NaCl CaCl2 MgO HCl H2SO4 HNO3 NaOH Ca(OH)2 CaCO3 Al2O3 Fe2O3 Sodium chloride Calcium chloride Magnesium oxide Hydrochloric acid Sulphuric acid Nitric acid Sodium hydroxide Calcium hydroxide Calcium carbonate Aluminium oxide Iron oxide
