BINARY COMPOUNDS

Compound Picture Uses

Sodium Used in cooking,
Chloride also used widely in
(NaCl) chemistry.

Potassium It is used to cure

Iodide (KI) different diseases
due to its
immunomodulatory
features.

Lithium Used as an
Iodide (LiI) electrolyte for high-
temperature
batteries.
 Hydrogen Used for
Oxide (H2O) normal
household
purposes, such
as drinking,
food
preparation,
bathing,
washing clothes
and dishes,
flushing toilets,
and watering
lawns and
gardens.
Barium Oxide Used in
(BaO) cathode ray
tubes, crown
glass, and
catalysts. It is
harmful to
human skin and
if swallowed in
large quantity
causes
irritation.
 TERNARY COMPOUNDS

Compound Picture Uses

Sodium A salt and an anti-
Nitrite oxidant that is
(NaNO2) used to cure meats
like ham, bacon
and hot dogs.

Calcium It may be used to

Phosphate treat conditions
Ca3 (PO4)2 caused by low
calcium levels such
as bone loss, weak
bones
Sodium Mainly used for the
Sulfate manufacture of
(Na2 SO4) detergents and in
the process of
paper pulping.
Potassium It is commonly
Sulfate used in fertilizers,
(K2 SO4) providing both
potassium and a
source of sulfur.

Potassium Often used in high

Chlorate school and college
(K ClO3) laboratories to
generate oxygen
gas.
 ACIDS
Compound Picture Uses
Hydrochloric A strong corrosive
Acid acid that is
(HCl) commonly used as
a laboratory
reagent.

Hydrobromic Mainly used for

Acid the production of
(HBr) inorganic
bromides,
especially the
bromides of zinc,
calcium, and
sodium.

Hydrofluoric Used mainly for

Acid industrial purposes
(HF) (eg, glass etching,
metal cleaning,
electronics
manufacturing).
Chloric Acid Used as a reagent
(HClO3) in chemical
analysis and to
make other
chemicals.

Sulfuric Acid The major use of

(H2 SO4) sulfuric acid is in
the production of
fertilizers.
