Ionic compounds consist of a combination of cations
and anions.
• The sum of the charges on the cation(s) and anion(s) in
each formula unit must equal zero.

CHEMICAL NOMENCLATURE
• Ionic Compounds
– Often a metal ( monoatomic cation) + nonmetal
(monoatomic anion)
1. The cation is always named first and the anion second
2. A monoatomic cation takes its name from the name of
the element
3. A monoatomic anion is named by taking the first part
of the element name and adding –ide.
MgF2 Magnesium fluoride
– Can also be a polyatomic anion and cation
Just name the cation first then the anion

CHEMICAL NOMENCLATURE
• Molecular compounds
− Nonmetals or nonmetals + metalloids
− Common names
− H2O, NH3, CH4
− Element furthest to the left in a period
and closest to the bottom of a group on
periodic table is placed first in formula
− If more than one compound can be
formed from the same elements, use
prefixes to indicate number of each
kind of atom
− Last element name ends in -ide

• Naming Molecular Compounds
(a)SiCl4
(b)P4O10
Strategy
We refer to Table 2.4 for prefixes.
Solution
(a) Because there are four chlorine atoms present, the
compound is silicon tetrachloride.
(b) There are four phosphorus atoms and ten oxygen atoms
present, so the compound is tetraphosphorus decoxide.
Note that the “a” is omitted in “deca.”
• Naming Molecular Compounds
(a)carbon disulfide
Solution
(a) Because there are two sulfur atoms and one carbon atom
present, the formula is CS2.
(b) There are two silicon atoms and six bromine atoms present,
so the formula is Si2Br6.
SUMMARY
41
An acid can be defined as a substance that yields
hydrogen ions (H+) when dissolved in water.
For example: HCl gas and HCl in water
52
53
An oxoacid is an acid that contains hydrogen,
oxygen, and another element.
54
Five common oxoacids as reference
MEMORIZE!!
H2CO3 carbonic acid

Naming Oxoacids and Oxoanions
56
The rules for naming oxoanions, (anions of
Oxoacids), are as follows:
1. When all the H ions are removed from the
“-ic” acid, the anion’s name ends with “-ate.”
2. When all the H ions are removed from the
“-ous” acid, the anion’s name ends with “-ite.”
3. The names of anions in which one or more
but not all the hydrogen ions have been
removed must indicate the number of H ions
present.
For example:
– H2PO4- dihydrogen phosphate
– HPO4 2- hydrogen phosphate
– PO43- phosphate 57
58
Example 2.9
(a) H3PO3
(b)
Example 2.9
Strategy To name the acid in (a), we first identify the reference
acid, whose name ends with “ic,” as shown in Figure 2.15.
Solution
(a) We start with our reference acid, phosphoric acid (H3PO4).
Because H3PO3 has one fewer O atom, it is called
phosphorous acid.
(b) The parent acid is HIO4. Because the acid has one more O
atom than our reference iodic acid (HIO3), it is called
periodic acid. Therefore, the anion derived from HIO4 is
called periodate.
A base can be defined as a substance that yields
hydroxide ions (OH-) when dissolved in water.

Hydrates are compounds that have a specific
