this time…acids and molecular compounds
will always have H + as the cation names are determined by the name of the anion present will be in aqueous phase, (aq)
drop the suffix “ide” to leave the root word add “hydro” as a prefix and “ic” as a suffix end with “acid” as a separate word
HCl anion is chloride drop “ide” and you’re left with “chlor”
add “hydro” as a prefix of “chlor” add “ic” as a suffix of “chlor” add “acid” as a separate word Shazam! “hydrochloric acid”
drop the suffix “ite” to leave the root word add “ous” as a suffix end with “acid” as a separate word
H 2 SO 3 anion is sulfite drop “ite” and you’re left with “sulf”…S and P are special cases…
change what you’re left with to “sulfur” (or in P’s case, to “phosphor”) add “ous” as a suffix add “acid” as a separate word
Ooh, Ah…it’s “sulfurous acid”
drop the suffix “ate” to leave the root word add “ic” as a suffix end with “acid” as a separate word
H 2 SO 4 anion is sulfate drop “ate” and you’re left with “sulf”…again, S and P are special cases…
change what you’re left with to “sulfur” (or in P’s case, to “phosphor”) add “ic” as a suffix add “acid” as a separate word
Wacka, Wacka!…it’s “sulfuric acid”
will always be made of nonmetals (consider B and Ga to have nonmetallic properties) use those fun prefixes we use for hydrates end in “ide”
mono di tri tetra penta hexa hepta octa nona deca
use prefixes on first element if there is a subscript always use prefixes on second element
CO It’s molecular because there is no metal in it. There is only one carbon, and it is the first element in the cpd.
So, it does not get a prefix. There is only one oxygen; so, its prefix is “mono” (which will be abbreviated to “mon” because O begins with an “o”)
add “ide” as a suffix to the root of the last element name So, when we put them together… carbon monoxide is the name
N 2 O 4 two nitrogen atoms four oxygen atoms hmmm….
dinitrogen tetroxide!!!!
HClO 3 (aq) CS 2 PF 3 HCN (aq) NO 2 H 3 PO 3 (aq) BI 3 HIO 4 (aq) P 2 O 5 H 2 C 2 O 4 (aq)
oxygen difluoride hydrophosphoric acid carbon tetrachloride chlorous acid chromic acid
